NASCAR help needed.......

[Superman]

Intelligent conversation? Or do you want to fit in? It's one or the other, dude.

I'd love to attend a big NASCAR event. Primarily for the sound. Twenty 700-hp unmuffled V8 engines coming down the straight nose-to-tail must make an interesting noise.

I'm from Stoneville, but I did most of my growin' up in Asheboro/Randolph County.

I'm out of the closet on that one brother.

I can't believe you missed that. NASCAR fans believe in dynasties. Look at how they vote!

That's why I don't talk at the races ! You nailed it though Supe...most newbies are hooked once they HEAR what it's all about...my girlfriend had goosebumps on her arms from the noise!

ps: Jason, I can relate...I haven't been into it nearly as much the past few years...

Excuse me, but I voted for Clinton in 96, and Gore in 00. I don't know who I'm voting for this year, because both candidates seem so terrible and vile it doesn't seem right to do that to America.

Maybe after the election, we can pull a Cali, and have a recall with a new guy who doesn't suck.

BTW - PLEASE DON'T TURN THIS INTO A POLITICAL THREAD!!!

She probably had goosebumps on her eardruums too! They are impressive podunk technology for certain.

Without Dale, it just doesn't feel like Winston Cup any more. Oh wait it's not...done

Jason- I know exactly where Stoneville is, heck I was in Mayodan last weekend.

"tight" means understeer

"Loose" is when the rear end hits the wall; "tight" is when the front end hits the wall.

I always thought loose and tight is how you rate your booty-calls. Oops

The only V8 piston generated sound louder than the first lap of a NASCAR event is standing on the starting line with John Force and Cruz Pedragon staged and ready to launch! It will rattle you to the core.

Is that hillbilly nailing her?????

[KevinP73]

Rumor was she was the cause of his divorce. Just a rumor

[speeder]

Re: Britney, I could ask her myself. Don't really care about that one. As for the Kerry shirt? That's funny.

Actually, my Volvo wagon has a big Kerry sticker on the back, but it will be parked w/ all of the Hollywood liberal elites, so I think that it will be safe. Interesting mix of people out there this weekend w/ the film crew and NASCAR all in one place.

Wound up not going today after all, (Hassle w/ obtaining passes), but I hope to still be there for the race on Sunday.

Denis,

Have fun at the race and watch out for West Nile and all the mosquitios. One of the guys I work with is moving to North Carolina so they gave him a bottle of Off and a Dvd of the Dukes of Hazzard so he can become familiar with the south. Just cheer for Jeff Gordon and you will either be loved or hated.

I recently attended the IRL race out at MIS and that was LOUD - 20 cars (half the amount in a NASCAR field) running around at 215+MPH for 2hrs. My ears were ringing for 3 days afterwards.

A vintage CanAm or Trans-Am race will also make the earth move ...

[techweenie]

Take your Off.

They sprayed all around the race track last week to suppress the mosquitoes, but Fontana is one of the West Nile hotspots of the state...

You'll have a blast, just all that surrounds the race is awesome. I have attended a few Nascar races and you can't help but have fun. I doubt that you will run into any one that has a stick up thier arse, like maybe at a PCA function.

I have a friend whose marketing company is doing the AOL stuff and she is making a killing ($). Had no interest in Nascar when they got the contract. We're talking intelligent and just sweet lookin' here. Now she is into it and meeting the folks who do it, fund it and love it. She goes everyweek voluntarily now.

I just got a last minute ticket so I am off to the race. I will post some pix when I get back.
