- |NASCAR held the Hooters 500 auto race at Hampton, Ga. yesterday. It was

- |of mind.

- Hooters Restaurants sponsored the race, as well as the driver who finished
- second in the race and won the 1992 Winston Cup Championship (worth
- about $1.4 million...). Unfortunantly, Hooters wasn't providing the
- pit crews, or things might have been even *more* fun...

- |I thought it was kind of a shame that we didn't have a chance to enter,
- |as this would have been the perfect race for a talk.bizarre entry, or at
- |least a pace car.
-
- Out of luck, I think; it has to be a Ford, Chrysler, or GM product of
- recent vintage. I don't think anyone here is foolish enough to still
- be driving one of those.

- |Anyway, here's your chance to design next year's entry. Add or change
- |anything you wish.
