I know when it first came out it was largely being ignored, I was wondering if anything has changed?

I'm also at a loss.

The only DSM I'm aware of (off the top of my head) is Diamond Star Motors - usually a reference to Mitsubishi based performance cars in the Eclipse/Talon/Laser line. Somehow I don't think that's what you mean... or is it?!

It's the Downing Street Memo. I haven't watched the news much, but what I have seen hasn't had any story about it. We have covered it somewhat on this forum though. You can find several threads about it if you search.

Dunno about DSM, but SpeedChannel really should cover the DTM, Deutschen Tourenwagen Masters more

I'm disappointed we don't have a Politics of Racing forum here. We could bring in some of the Track Forum Taliban and show these people what a knock down drag out really looks like. They're babes in the woods here - they have not seen true internet war!

lol ..hehe I don't visit the racing forums much anymore to avoid all the bs partisan polictics. Instead I go here.. like you said, the hostility level is actually less here


btw, we do have a race section here in polfor.. but they keep locking my racing threads for some odd reason

Yeah, just after the Paper blowup at 7th Gear, I think a lot of people got tired of the foolishness. I don't visit the O/W racing forums as much anymore either. I post at a couple of amateur racing and WRX forums but that's about it. The WRX forums are cool because most of the people are 17-21. By default (meaning I'm not dead yet), I am The Elder. I'm teaching them to worship Senna, as I plan on leading my own political movement some day based on the greatness of "Magic". Our first sacrifice to the speed gods is going to be Tony George's nads over a hot fire - and then there will be peace in racing,,,,,,,,,

Where are the racing topics here? I'll put one in Other or OffTopic (whatever it's called) every now & again, but I haven't seen yours. BTW, when I first got here, quite a few of us were here. The others seem to have drifted away. Probably not hardcore enough for them.

..Tony is already sacrificing his inheritance over a hot fire.


heh, that was 'Race Relations' at the CivilRights section I was refering to.
Yup, offtopic down at the basement is the place to be.

Speaking of which, back on topic. Ummm.. DSM, as 12th said, do a search.. it's been discussed here in other threads although not so in the US main stream media. TV news gets better ratings yapping about missing chick in Aruba... the masses find it more entertaining. Sorta like realityTV Matlock style.
