Talk:Polish Victory Lap

Reverse Polish Notation
Any relationship between a Polish Victory Lap and Reverse Polish Notation as far as where the name came from? Caerwine Caerwhine 20:21, 5 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately it was meant as a bad ethnic joke about Polish people. The comment by the official was more on the line of "Polish people don't know how to drive in the correct direction". Reverse Polish Notation is a math/science arithmetic display system. I know Kulwicki, being an engineer, probably would know about the notation, but he didn't name the lap!

Why Polish
Should it be mentioned specifically that Kulwicki was of Polish ancestry? As Caerine's comment indicated, there's a little more to the story than people may be aware of. -Freekee (talk) 03:38, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I added that Kulwicki was Polish American to the article. Royal broil  04:26, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
 * That helps, but it still doesn't explain the "Polish joke" aspect of the name. I can't think of a decent way to work that in, though. -Freekee (talk) 17:38, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
