Busy Sunday!

Wow, what a day!

First, watched the F1 race, it was okay. bit of a snoozer, I missed the first 15 minutes so the race was basically over by then. Then did some yard work, first blister of the year! :) Then the 'dega race. Good race, too long tho'. The couch played it's sweet song again, lol. Caught the end of the race, that's always good.

Then I switched over to the Indycar race. It was a bit boring as well. Some good racing and passes but the announcers suck so it makes it really hard to watch.
:(

All in all. a good weekend.

The standings have been updated, Kate vaults into the Top 5 with her low score this weekend. Congrats! Mr. Anderson sneaks into fifth spot to round out the Top 5. The points are still pretty tight between the players, as can be expected. We're a quarter of the way thru the season with 9 races being run. We've had some over-achievers and under-achievers thru the first quarter. The best driver points total goes to Jeff Burton with 68 points. The highest point total goes to Kyle Petty with 337. Ouch!

Some surprises in performance from Gordon and Kenseth. Also Kurt Busch, but his little brother is doing great at his new team. Even beatin' up on ol' Smoke! ;) Gilliland is another nice surprise this year, as well as Earnhardt. He hasn't won yet but except for one bad finish at Phoenix, he'd be right at the top!

So let's see, Carl Edwards has won three times, Kyle Busch twice and Jeff Burton has won once but he's leading the standings. Gotta love points racing!

Now we're off to Richmond Int'l Raceway. A 3/4 mile sort track. We should see some great sliding around with these new cars, I can't wait!

'til next week...

Phoenix

Hi all,

Didn't quite make it thru this race! :) Oh well, guess that's what happens with west coast races.

There's been a few changes in the Top 5, nothing too crazy. Congrats to Marky Mark for two low scores in a row!

Looks like it's an off weekend this week and then we're off to Talladega. I think I heard where they're adding about an extra 25hp to the cars by opening the restrictor plate opening. That should make for an interesting race! I'll have to make a point of staying awake for this one, lol. :)

'til next time...

Texas race

Hi all,

Standings have been updated. Steve Thorpe still holds top spot but Lew is climbing the ladder to take top spot from him! Mitty's been kicked off the island while Marky mark rolls in with the Race Day low score. D.A. sneaks in to the Top 5 for the first time. Lucky for me I took a shit kicking so now I'm not even in the Top 10. Fame is so fleeting...

Maybe it's just me but i've been enjoying both the cup races and the crapwagon races. Some good side by side racing with cars sliding all over the place. Hell, even formoola 1 is almost entertaining this year, what with their no traction control or drivers aides, the driver almost makes a difference now! Nice to see for a change, well except for Gordo not being able to drive a freakin' car!

The next race is at Phoenix and should be another good show. I've always liked this track. Should get the IndyCars back there! It's a nice flat oval and always tests the drivers, so good luck to them!

'til next week...
