MINI_Zoso Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Thanks for the reminder of Kimi's debut. Have heard some good things about this already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 I hope so too! However, I don't think he will. But if they get some close racin' at those speeds and the air happens to get a car loose - anything can happen! If payback is to be given, it could definitely come at Sonoma or Loudon, after the "probation" for the two is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_Zoso Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Busch and Harvick? Couldn't have picked it better. Have at 'er boy's! I'll be watching. Trucks start in a half hour. Time to go get snacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MINI_Zoso Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Watching Monaco now. Gotta go there some time. Drive the F1 route then some of the old WRC routes. Rent an original Mini and call myself Paddy for a day. Ah the good old bucket list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 What a terrific F1 race!! Watching the 500 now, they are racing like it's last 100 miles instead of the first. Well, gonna slip out for a swim and a toke. I'm with you ^ gotta get over to Monaco before kickin' the bucket! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 WOW!!! Holy sh!t, what a great Indy 500 that was! Just when u thought the F1 race couldn't be topped. Congrats to Whelden, way to get through the carnage at the end. JR, keep your head up! Onto the 600 and a few ice cold Captain's shots!! Go Harvick - even though I know your car is sh!t right now!!

MINI_Zoso Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 The 500...like it is said "it ain't over till it's over". But hey, he still got 2nd! gotta work at 5 in the morning...won't see the end of the 600. Staying awake at work is encouraged. Our long weekend was last weekend.

Walter Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Watching Harvick's in car camera and boy is it brutal coming up through the traffic! Up to 16 th at least. Mini Zoso, I'll try to let u know what happens tonight, but I don't have to work tomorrow so I may not make much sense. About to have another shot - it may get messy if Harvick makes a charge!!!

redrum Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Now Kasey Kahne's driving a Chevy. WTF?? I had the Saturday race on and he was in 4th in the last laps and when I flipped back to the race he'd dropped to 22nd or so. WTF?? But I'm glad he's in a Chevy at least. He's gone from Dodge, to Ford, to Toyota, to Chevy. What next....LaSalle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 What happened between 1948, when NASCAR was founded, and 1952, when your stereotypical poster did? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Holy f*ckin sh!t - Harvick won the 600!!!!!!! This marks the end of quite possibly the greatest day of racing! Time for one last victory shot!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_Zoso Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Cool! Thanks for the update Walter. Haven't been near a radio or TV all day. Just glad it wasn't Busch. They must have raced clean. Will Juniors day ever come? Ah, at least he's popular . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Man, I couldn't believe it when I saw Jr. run out of gas and Harvick pass him for the win! Couldn't come down for an hour or so afterward. He has pretty much run like sh!t there forever and to add another of the crown jewels of racing to his resume (along with the 500, Brickyard, all-star race, road course, etc.) just makes one glaring missing piece - a cup title!!

Walter Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 6 points penalty for ole Shrub? Today was the NASCAR hall of fame induction announcement. The 2012 inductees are: Cale Yarborough, Darrell Waltrip, Dale Inman, Glen Wood and Richie Evans!!! I emphasize Richie because he was my local boyhood driver in upstate NY. We used to watch him race at Utica-Rome speedway and when they would have fan/kid ride along night we would pile into and onto the drivers cars as the would slowly drive around the track. I would always get Richie and even sat straddling his gear shifter one night! I never knew he was a national champ until going to Daytona one year and read about him in the program. I just thought he was our local guy. In 13 years he won 475 races and 9 titles, 8 years in a row. The only guy in NASCAR history to have his number retired - #61. RIP and congrats Richie, you did it!!! Godspeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Anyone check out the Tony Stewart and Lewis Hamilton ride swap this past week at Watkins Glen? Great to see F1 cars back on "Thunder Road" again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Crap, I missed it. Chances are it will be on again. It'll be re-aired this Friday on Speed @ noon, eastern time. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Getting ready for the mid-summer classic, the Firecracker 400, this weekend. Taking the kids and in-laws up to the track this Friday (they get us into the garage so it's mandatory!). Hope the rain holds off and the 29 (4 Friday night) runs strong!

Walter Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 They do have full schedules, especially on a short week such as next week - plus the "playoffs" (The Chase) begins the week after that. Poor timing on everyone's part. NASCAR gets more publicity out of it, so I doubt they are complaining about it! Nice triple header beginning tonight in "Hotlanta"! Harvick needs to get mojo back working for him the Bud #29 Chevy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Looks like a mid-week race at the ATL! Cars sitting for 3 days after Sat. qualifying, waiting through all the rain. Green track. 1 race until the cutoff for the chase. Potentially 3 million dollars waiting for a driver/fan/charity combo. I can't wait! Oh sh!t, I've gotta go to work tomorrow!! $#!+@&! Guess I'll have to watch it on tape tomorrow night! Peace. Go #29!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
