I live 20 minutes from the track. Right now it's with an umbrella if you're there!
I'm going back and forth from the living room to the garage. Hung drywall in the ceiling today!
Rain, Rain go away!
Guess it's a done deal now.

Where's you find that thing Glenn?
Posted by Robert Carney (Member # 2016) on :
Too bad it got rained out, it was a good race while it lasted. Another victory for Michael Waltrip. Posted by Troy Haas (Member # 472) on :
That thing is cool !!!!!!!
I did just as I planned.
Penny asked me last week what I wanted for my Birthday (Sat.).
I told her all I wanted was to watch the 500 in Peace (Kids have a habit of getting wild when I want to watch something special) and I wanted to go off my diet and make my famous "Steak Hoagies"
I got to do both, Thanks Penny!!!

You call that a win?
At least this time no one had to die for him to be given a win.

I was a huge Earnhardt fan .. and I still am, and yes it was a crummy way to win the race, but thats a little ignorant. Waltrip is still one of the most sincere drivers on the track. And he has come a long way in ability in the last few years .. especially on superspeedways. If I were you I would have kept that comment to myself Chris. Who do you think would have been the first to congratulate him ... hmm i'm thinking #3 .... (Just my opinion)
I would have rather seen Jr. or Harvick win Ryan
Posted by Robert Carney (Member # 2016) on :
It would of been great to see Jr. win. Posted by Ted Nesbitt (Member # 3292) on :
Jr fan here---that's what we wanted, but it didn't, so hats off to Mikey, probably THE nicest guy in the garage!
The rain out was crappy, and it does cast a slight pall over his win.
Chris---c'mon, that Dale comment was just a LITTLE out of line, don'cha think??

Think he's gonna need a Goody's powder for this one?

I saw that one Glenn, spectacular, glad he walked away okay. I still haven't figured out nascar racing yet...
On the other hand ... Formula one season is only 3 weeks away .. already got tickets bought for Montreal Grand-Prix in June Posted by Glenn Taylor (Member # 162) on :
Actually, Nascar is pretty easy. You just sit in your easychair with a bag of Doritos and a Pepsi and go...Left turn....left turn....left turn.... Posted by Scott Pagan (Member # 2507) on :
Glenn, is that your gaming machine? Here I thought I had it good with a 19" monitor, force feedback Logitec wheel, and (one time) monster CPU (1.8mHz, 512mb, GeForce 4 128mb). I feel so cheated. How about some specs on that setup; looks like a motion generator under the seat, as well as a large monitor. Up in Concord, NC near the Lowe's track (Charlotte Motor Speedway) they had a NASCAR Silicon Speedway. My famiy's racecar fabrication shop (Hutcherson-Pagan) built the simulators that remind me of the photo you've posted. Those were awsome; it had 3 panel projection screens on the each wall for total immersion, a full 3/4 scale car body for 2 persons, a 5 speed with clutch, and the whole car had the motion action. There were about 20 cars lined up in a horseshoe and were all connected to race in events. The tracks were chosen according to skill level and races were held weekly. It was too expensive for everyday play, but it was worth doing when you could make time.
by the way... I watched the lousy race at home, if they are going to hype it as the "Super Bowl" of NASCAR then they should make provisions to run all 500 laps. The endurance test on those tracks is what makes the race special.
"doritos and Pepsi" sounds like a Gordon fan to me (Fritos / Pepsi). I pull for most all drivers but extremely dislike a few.

Nah, a friend of mine in Georgia has it. I think it was in the process of being repaired at the time.
Still, it would have been a pretty cool idea.
BTW, when I run out of Doritos, Tom's peanuts in my Pepsi makes for a good substitute.
