That picture was taken at Talladega Raceway in 1999...ours is the purple car...behind us just coming into the picture is a friend of ours driving his OE Hemi 4spd 'Bird...

Bryan  (what a trip that was)

[Shakey]

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.

I was gonna stay the weekend in CA to see the race but decided I'd rather come home.  I'm glad I did.  Who won the race anyways?

[Shakey]

This afternoon, they are going to parade all the racing haulers up the strip! (That's probably going to be a nightmare! )
Mrs.Skip68

May I suggest you go to Paris and head up the Eiffel tower for lunch/drink and watch the parade from a table by the window.  It'd be the best spot in town. 

Another option, also in the Paris, is Mon Ami Gabi.  They have tables on a patio by the sidewalk and they serve a delicious blue cheeseburger.  Get there early and get a seat by the railing to see the parade.

NASCAR IS IN VEGAS THIS WEEKEND !!!!!! Woo hoo!
The Skips

I so want to go see the race

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...)

I was there in 2005, got drunk and got a touch of sunstroke.  Left early to avoid the rush back to the strip.  Took a cab and don't recall how much it was but.....

You summed it up pretty good.

Kasey had a good run today. . . Ryan . not so much.

Jeff sure took a hard hit. That really looked bad.

Jr. should have had that win. Need to clean those tires before the restart.

No kidding

[400/6/PAC]

That really was a hard hit.
Just goes to show You how well the safety restraints work in these cars.
A wreck like that in a passenger car ( even at 70 mph ) and RIP
I thought Kurt did a good job.
Went from a lap down to 15th before he blew a tire.

[The70RT]

I have always been a Mark Martin fan...go Mark!

[NHCharger]

Well Toyoyo just won their first cup race, glad I only watched the last 12 laps. Ole DW sure was happy, I thought he was going to blow his load all over the mic the way he was cheering on Kyle Busch/Toyoyo.

[TruckDriver]

Didn't really miss anything. It was one of the most boring races I seen in the past year.

[chargerboy69]

The best part of the race was Stewert after the race blasting Goodyear Tires. He was his classic a-hole self.

And the fourth race in and I already can not stand listening to DW. I swear their is no bigger kiss ass for Toyota that that POS Waltrip.

[hemihead]

Waltrip must have pulled his life saving out of Chevy and invested in Toyboata . A couple years ago all he could say was how great Chevy was . Did NASCRAP make a rule change to slow the Dodges down like usual ?

[TruckDriver]

A lot of people don't like Tony Stewert because he speaks his mind. But on the other hand, I like people like Stewert that do speak their mind. It was the same for Earnhart Sr.. I have no problem speaking mine. And my girlfriend doesn't either. I seen her make a few guys nuts turn into raisins already

[daytonalo]

By the way Nissan is joining !!

[DodgeByDave]

I gave up on NARCAR (national association for rice car auto racing)

There is better racing at the local tracks, and I don't have to subsidize the France's.

By the way Nissan is joining !!
