NASCAR anyone?

[mjbskwim]

A real good movie?
Let's just say my wife isn't the one to send to the redbox.
I think American sniper and lone survivor are the two goods ones in 20 years.

American Graffiti last night.Hadn't watched that in years
Not much good stuff out there for sure

I have NASCAR on the TV for any number of hours each weekend. Puts me to sleep like a baby.


I prefer the American Le Mans Series, Rolex Sports Car Series, Blancpain, etc.
That is sports car series - cars that are closer to what we can own and drive.

Nice Zeke! That's a Bad boy boogie right there.

Those sprint are all balls. 2 gears right?

It is good to see some of you PDX boys rooting for Biffle. I live about 15 miles from Kasey Kahne's hometown of Enumclaw. Up here the local boy is #1. I used to work with Kasey's Aunt at Boeing. She is a supervisor. She told me one time that for each race, Kasey charters a private jet and flies the entire family or who wants to go, to each and every race. I have been to Pheonix twice for NASCAR. There is nothing lowder on the face of this earth than 40 race cars with open headers take the green flag for a start. You can feel your body shake when they go by all bunched up. I do wish they would race more road courses though. Watkins Glen, Sanoma are the only two road races they do each year. I would like to see them at Road Atlanta, Road America, etc. Here are some pics from Pheonix.

I guess you've never been around top fuel dragsters, or even top alcohol cars. I've been around a herd of open header cars on road race tracks and I love the sound and feel of them, but the blown fuel cars are in a class by them selves.
I am a big fan of cars that turn, and turn both directions, too!

SIR and Puyallup Raceway park as much as I could afford it

He's running sub-15 second laps on a dirt half mile. That's 120mph+ average speed...on dirt.

One gear, no clutch last time we ran one. Direct drive, push started.

I crewed for Don Prudhomme on the Ford SOHC powered Supersnake AA/FD. Nothing like wiping tires on a blown fuel cammer at the starting line, and being up close and personal for "lift off".

That's right. We have some friends up in Sherman county that race. Weedmans

So,,,,, do you even bother with hearing protection any more?

GAWD and I thought there was nothing like sucking in those fumes from 20 yards away
I can still smell that smell. Tires alcohol and Nitro
pot,beer,puke etc,

I actually wear hearing aids and have a significant hearing loss. But I wouldn't trade those experiences with cars, rock concerts, and guns for anything.

But....But...The paint....How do you know it's dry?

I have been around many Top Fuel cars and drag races. I go to Pamona once and awhile with a friend of mine. Also they have a top fuel event up here every year at Pacific Raceways. The old SIR or Seattle International Raceway. I will still stick to my original statement. A top fuel car is still not as loud as 40 cars all at once with open headers. You really need to experience it for yourself.

I'm a kyle Busch fan and not a wagon jumper either, I know I know, the guy everybody loves to hate but man can that kid drive.

HAHA I used to hate that kid, back when cousin drove for FORD they had a nice rivalry. Boy he can drive, him and Carl would put on a clinic on nationwide side.
I'm a ROUSH fan, things have been tough in cup the last few years. Hell,can't get any worse ehh. But boy bad Brad and sliced bread have been wheeling their ford's though. Glad our engines can win something at least.

Here's Prudhomme and the Ford SOHC powered Supersnake AA/FD when I crewed on it in 1966:
