You"re pretty short at 6 and was probably looking for some shade and accidentally caught a glimpse?...Perry Mason has nothing to worry about...............

 

[TymeSlayer]

Perhaps....

Perhaps not....

I remember finding one of my Dad's Playboy Mags in the family library when I was 6 or 7. What an adventure that was!!!!!!

I'm sure you only read the articles Bob.

I on the other hand thought all the pictures were scratch and sniff....

 

[302BOB]

There were articles??? Just to think I thought T & A was trees and apples..........

Kyle Busch wins number 3 (in a row) at Richmond's Saturday nite race in the 2 lap overtime sprint.

Talledega this weekend.It's amazing how this track and Daytona were built for speed with over 2 and a half miles of racing room with high banked turns (3 stories high)...only to be slowed down in later years with restrictor plate racing. Some drivers are thankful for that..others not so much. The anticipation of the "big one" always attracts a crowd.

I've always thought that Daytona and 'Dega should have the banks knocked way down to maybe 8 - 10 degrees banking, enough so they have to slow down for the corners and even have to use the brakes somewhat. Then get rid of the plates. I wonder if that would produce something more resembling racing vs demo derby!

That was some ride McMurray had yesterday, tried counting the rolls, I think 8 to 10 or so?

Speaks volumes of the safety equipment NASCAR has in these cars. I'm always amazed to see such a horrific looking accident like this and the driver walks away.

Aside from any road course, 'Dega and Daytona are my favorite tracks. Fast as fast can be.

Taladega and Daytona were made for speed. Restrictor plate racing made everything not as fast for everybody and made the demo derby a reality for everyone.Very effective drafting is your only chance with plate racing (survival).............Dale & Dale Jr could see the air..............

Agree , but something had to be done. 3700 lbs racecars airborne is not the way to go.
Lowering the banking is a possible solution. I don’t see it happening..... until another driver dies.
Newman was right. NASCAR can fix the problem. They have not.

Harvick on the pole today at Talladega. Safest place to be in a restrictor plate race. How long he can stay in the top spot remains to be seen.

Joey Logano wins at Talladega in a lackluster race that put many fans to sleep, including me. Dover next week.

Spring has sprung!!!! Near 70 today, maybe near 80 tomorrow...warm weather LONG overdue.Grass starting to grow...winter vacation is over.

 

[TMSBOSS]

70’s today and I am taking the Boss out, the good news. Track night at Blackhawk. 95% chance of thunderstorms during event, the bad news.
I guess I’ll have to save the money from Track night and spend it on the mustang round up. No weddings planned for this year.

 

[302BOB]

86 yesterday..same expected for today. Normal highs mid 60's. Winter leaves late and summer arrives early this year. I gotta get Mother nature a calendar!!!!! Chance of late day thunderstorms for today and tomorrow here as well.

 

[TMSBOSS]

Later. Boss is calling.

 

[302BOB]

Later. Boss is calling.

That's one call you can't deny...

 

[TMSBOSS]

Yep. Still have the Pirelli slicks on her first from VIR. OMG they are sticky.......when warm. NT-01’s going on now.

 

[302BOB]

Got to 92 today..this is insane for the the first week of May! Those Pirrelli's love this kind of weather...
