DAYTONA, am I the only one?

[457Brodix]

I tuned into the Daytona 500 at the half way mark today, I was bored and I tried to get interested in it but racing in pairs isn't my idea of racing, I'd rather see the cars race against each other. Apparently I'm the one that's off base because the stands look pretty full, There's about 12 laps left and I'm going to the garage!

I haven't watched Daytona in years but tuned it in today for a bit. Watched the first 50 or so laps, had to go out for a bit, then caught the last 50 odd laps. Decided to cheer for Jr. at the get go. I really enjoyed the race and thought the end was pretty thrilling. Might even start following NASCAR again ;)

I'm not sure I'll go that far. Watched the start and quite a few laps, and it reminded me, they all just go round and round and round and round...

And then the spaghetti got done so we sat down in the other room and ate and then cleaned up the kitchen and I checked up on it and they were stilll going round and round and round. And the race was barely half over, so I shot some pool and they were still going round and round....

Dang, that is a long race. It takes forever. But I sure was glad I was in front of the screen for the finish. Why don't they just do the finish first and have the rest available on DVD or something, if that's what you wanna see?

When I watch........I always enjoy the
start and 20 laps or so

then the last 10-20 laps, especially
if it's a close one

All week on t.v. and today it's been junior,junior, and then commercials featuring junior.Everytime I see him I
want to throw a brick at the t.v.Now the print and electronic media have something to comment on.Now if
the broadcast t.v. would just get rid of that gawdauful hillbilly "music".

Re: DAYTONA, am I the only one?

I haven't watched much Nascar in years, but today I felt like shit so I watched the whole thing and I thought it was better than anything I'd seen since Dale Jarrett won the 500. Doesn't hurt that my favorite old team the Wood Brothers won for the first time in ten years with a 20 year old rookie.

I'll be back in the garage though next weekend.

Hey Bill - You live in SoCal and you aren't going to the Winternationals next weekend?

I put a set of brakes on my brother's Nissan and played a round of disc golf yesterday with him and some friends.

Your heart is in the right place, Jimmy. (even if your head is up your patootie ;D)

Haven't watched NASCAR since King Richard was driving.
Heck, I knew real roundy-round racing was finished when they painted Darrell Waltrip's car in Tide colors.
Earnhardt was good, but only when his car was wearing blue & yellow Wrangler colors.
And Jeff Gordon should have stayed in sprint cars to give Kinser some competition.

Have I pissed off everybody yet?

I thought it was a pretty good race. And the kid that won sure seemed to gain respect from a lot of veterans. Great win for the Wood Brothers too. Betcha the kid gets a full ride this year after yesterday
