Lots o' racin' this weekend. Sports cars, open wheel and stock car racing. Still a little chilly for the local tracks, oh to be in Florida! :)
Good to see all my boys finish so well! That brings me in to the Top 10. Steve Thorpe still has a lock on the top spot. It's crazy the difference one driver can make, Steve has picks in 1st spot and 31st spot! Go figure! Just goes to show you, you never can tell how this thing works out.
So off we go to Texas Motor Speedway. That's a fast place! Should be wild to see these new cars get cranked up and slidin' around that track. :) Sure hope all my drivers keep up the good job and I sneak a couple more spots up the ladder!
'til next week...

Decisions, decisions...
I've been lusting after the new Dodge Challenger since it was introduced. Now that they're in production, I'm seriously jonesin' for one. But I have a problem, which colour to pick?!?
The original Hugger Orange is awesome!
heheh, found a cool video!
The original Hugger Orange is awesome!
but then I saw this new dark blue car and I like it a lot!
or ummm...we could go with this package!!!
What to do???
Which colour looks best for this car? Vote on which you like best and help me decide!
Here's an awesome place to see some info on this car, glad to see that they plan on having it around for a few years! Link

Bristol
I liked this race. Always have. Not quite enough crashes to make it real excitin' but still enough action to stay awake!
Steve Thorpe takes the top spot away from Mitty by having the race day low score! Way to go! Sorry 'bout your luck Mitty, but remember it's a looooong season! ;) That's twice now that Steve has had the low score, time for some other people to have their turn.
Easter weekend's coming up so there's a break and then there's racing at Martinsville. Another short track race to watch. Can't think of anything particular to look for in this race. We've had all the manufacturers win a race now, no one's really fuedin' and Tony wasn't cursin' 'bout no tires so I guess all is right in the Nascar world, for at least a couple more weeks!

Atlanta race
Hi all,
Thought I'd throw something up here quickly about Atlanta. Seems to be more of the same here. The new car is still twitchy as hell and is producing some interesting opportunities out there. You know when the cars are sliding sideways off the turns that something is wrong. Blame goodyear, blame nascar but it sure makes it a little more interesting to watch! You never know if someone is going to wreck or not!
I'll say it for cowboy, "That damn Elliott Sadler!" :) That driver sure is costing us some points! Oh well, hopefully what goes around, comes around and his team starts to figure out that car.
I guess we're racing at Dover next. This should be interesting! Always lots of beatin' and bangin' going on there. I might be able to even stay awake thru the whole race, lol! ;)

Viva Las Vegas!
I know, that's cheesy as hell!
So Mitty still has the lead, by a comfortable margin too. Almost sixty points. Damn! Sure makes it hard for the rest of us to keep up. But, it's a loooooong season. :)
Race was okay. Lots of action, that's for sure. Seems that the teams haven't quite got this new car figured out. Looks like it's skittish as hell. Just ask Gordon and Kenseth! Or one of the dozen or so other drivers that was scraping the wall or sliding off the corners.
We still haven't seen a Chevy or a 'yoda in victory lane yet. Junior was close but no cigar. The 18 car looked like the class of the field but just faded away. I guess eleventh isn't too bad but to be out in front the way he was and then not be in the top 10 shows just how tough these cars are to handle. Isn't Kyle the guy who said that he hated driving these new cars?
Alrighty then, off to Atlanta. One of the fastest tracks in the series. Will we see Edwards get 3 in a row? Is it time for Hendrick Motorsports to start winning? How long before Gibbs Racing bags the first Toyota win? WTH, I sound like a freakin' Nascar commercial! LMAO, man I'm gonna miss Champ Cars. :)
Oh well, let's hope we get some good racing at Atlanta. I'm enjoying seeing the side by side stuff with the drivers really having a handful with these new cars. Makes it seem that much more unpredictable even though the same teams are running at the front.
