Daytona 500

[SixFive]

To clarify a little... I really enjoy going to the races. Local stuff, big tracks, anything live I pretty much like. I was railing on the tv coverage sucking so bad and seeming to b constant commercials. NASCAR on television used to b a lot better!

You are more than 100% CORRECT ! SixFive !

It is impossible to enjoy a race with all the fargin' commercials.

The clip on arron ott at speed is actually pretty cool, what the uninformed are'nt aware of is we pretty much flat foot these things around and ride the brake at the same time when you want the car to do something.

Pasprint let me know when you think the motor went sour? 0 car in the first heat race, lol.

Link didnt work Luv :shrug:

Ok after seeing your second post...I watched the clip. You got trucked pretty good on the backstretch on the first lap. WTF was the 2 car tryiing to do on your outside going into 3? Win it on the first lap guy I suppose?
It looked like she laid down after you lost the lead. It looked pretty good out in clean air though. It also looks like its hard to get off the top at that place. I couldnt really see how much cushion was there on the clip. Usually takes a big motor to run the top anywhere though. Are you racing this year? Like I told you last year... if you wanna spend a week in PA this year, you have a place to stay. 5 races in 6 nights during PA Speedweek. And I know plenty of good people that would help with set-ups, gear, stagger, ect.
You need a strong bullet with lots of ponies. If you have that you'd have a good chance of making shows.
