Post race car abusing celebrations, for or against

In reply to novaderrik:

Oh, I'm not offended. I would have to care about what you say to be offended.

@ Novaderrik @ bravenrace

Get over it, both of you, promptly. Have yourselves a private conversation if there's any more to say about who's right.

For what it's worth, I'll bet Zanardi wasn't the first to ever do a burnout after a win. Maybe the first on TV, maybe the first after a major race, but there are an awful lot of folks who feel pretty good after winning a race. How else would you express it from in the car?

In reply to Tom Heath:

Tom, there's no problem here, at least on my part. This is a discussion forum where people express their opinion, which is exactly what I did, and I even stated it as such. T doesn't have to agree and neither do you. It honestly doesn't make any difference to me. You may or may not be correct about him not being the first, but unless you know differently, it's speculation. Since I was following pretty much all forms of racing at that time, I would wager that he IS the one everyone else is copying. If anyone knows differently, I'm open to being wrong. One thing I know is every racer in the world could learn something about sportsmanship and human triumph from him.

Emerson Fittipaldi, 1989. At least that's what I thought, but he was the second driver that didn't take a big drink of milk after winning the Indy 500.

Actually, Emmo did take a sip of milk after winning. He just did it after his post victory drink of orange juice (probably his own brand as he was the owner of several orange groves at the time). To keep this on topic, don't really matter much to me, but it can be entertaining.
