Someday I want to get a 60's Belvedere and make a Petty stocker for the street 

[bordin34]

With the new COT, this years races will be dependent upon engines and on Sunday Dodge had the best engine. Even though they don't use production blocks anymore.

GO Bobby Labonte (as long as he is driving the #43 car!!)

Go Kasey Kahne: for hubby
Go Reed Sorenson: for middle daughter
Go Elliot sadler: for eldest

That was horrible. My wife wanted to crawl under the couch for her, she was so embarrassed.

And she was the winner of a singing contest. I would hate to hear the losers too.

I wasn't that bad in person...I would know 'cause I was there!!!

Hah! Me too! I was walking through the merchandise trailers during the anthem, though.

How late did you stay? We bailed right after they stopped it the 2nd time...we knew theyd never get it dry. Was that a clusterf--k or what though?

Either way, I wasnt too upset, since I got my tickets for free. I'd have been heated if I'd spent $300 on them like in the past.

we left at 7 pm.....we bought our tickets on e-bay (4 for $220) we were in section 49 row 7.  It was sooooo cold and wet I am hurting from walking so much, but the free cans of snuff and the simulators and such were awesome...It was fun experiencing the whole real life action...(it was my first time at the track).  But yeah otherwise it was f*cked......and the crash was crazy..........

Sorry your first time at the track wasn't as great as it could have been. It's funny...I wanna say "go back for the Labor Day race"...but on second thought, the last 2 years weve had to put up with 100-110F temps....

[The70RT]

Too cold too hot....sounds like Kansas........

I still had a great time...I went with hubby and two other friends.  Hubby and I are thinking about going to the August race...But only if I can get a personal cooling device for my MS.  I definitely wouldn't be able to make it through a race otherwise.

I hope you can make it! The Labor Day race is usually a bit more exciting, since it's next to last before the Chase starts and some guys will be driving their asses off to make it (or stay) in.

Having said that, if you enjoyed the racing part of it, you should check out your local half mile NASCAR Weekly tracks. I don't know what they have down in San Diego, but up here in L.A. (well, not really L.A.) we got Irwindale Speedway. You get to see different types of racing (stock cars, trucks, figure 8's, demo derby), which is sometimes more fun to watch than a Cup race, and you don't have to deal with the crowds and the crappy weather. Plus, it's pretty cheap and family friendly.

No you don't. Trust me. I did a NASCAR weekend in Vegas a couple of years ago....never again. First, the whole town (meaning the hotels, casinos, etc) is overrun by people wearing mullets, extremely old and ill fitting Purolator trucker hats, and 20 year old Rusty Wallace MGD white t-shirts that are almost see through at this point. You have to wait an eternity to get a table even at the crappy Sahara cafe, and getting to and from the track is a frigging nightmare (unless you wanna shell out $30 or more per person for one of those shuttles from the Strip - which, by the way, will be full of the above mentioned mulletteers, who are now drunk...)

This afternoon, they are going to parade all the racing haulers up the strip! (That's probably going to be a nightmare! )
