Re: Daytona 500
Hell, I kind of enjoyed the race. It seemed there was a little more racing than in the last few years, but it could of been just wishful thinking. During the pot-hole breaks, I got the new stainless radiator hose, the new throttle cable bracket, and the sending unit for the temp gauge installed on the '55, so it wasn't a total waste of time. ;D

Re: Daytona 500
I watched the last 30 laps waiting for the drags and it was a pretty good finish I thought.
I turned it on during the afternoon for a few minutes and saw the delay BS. DW looks like a slob out there! Pants about to split open and he put on about 40 lbs. Looks like he had no interest in being there.

Re: Daytona 500
what they were saying at the track was that the hole was caused by the rain getting into the pavement, combined with the cold weather and it weakened the pavement.
it was freezing, but we waited it out. was glad we did. i also wished biffle could have won (i really wanted edwards, but...) , but i have to say, i like the new rule to try green/white/checker three times. it would have sucked to see a great race decided on a yellow.

Re: Daytona 500
Showed up on the infield Tuesday about noon... about an hour before the rain started, just enough time to set up the 12 x 20' tent and get everything under it.
Between being cold and wet and overcast, it was the toughest weather I've had there... but still tons of fun.
The days sort of blur together, but Sunday night after the race I had a blast.
First a neighbor comes by on a golf cart and says "wanna ride around?" I say sure... and off we go. We sort of ignored the security people and went everywhere on that thing! Eventually we got yelled at and escorted out of the garage area near winners circle.
On the way back to the camp site he stops to check out a party and suddenly another golf car stops next to us and starts yelling at us for "stealing a golf cart"... oops. Really, it was just sitting there and my neighbor happened to have a key that fit, so he "borrowed" it. We were sent away with a warning.
Later, we're hanging back at the campground listening to music obnoxiously loud, my camping buddy returns from the bathroom and says there's some guy named Captain Jonathan at Club 3 (a campsite made into a bar year after year). I figured it was some impersonator, but no, it was Captain friggin Jonathan Hillstrand from The Deadliest Catch hanging out and shaking hands and being extremely cool about letting anyone who wanted a picture to take one with them...
...and a couple good races broke out once in a while.
Man, what a week.

Oh geez... Somebody call the Whaaaaambulance!
Drive the damned cars!
but, AT least he doesn't know better as he races on the street, not on a track where, safety is #1

Re: Daytona 500
I heard that for a brief time yesterday, some hacked into Wikipedia and changed the winner from Jamie McMurray to "Pot Hole".

Re: Daytona 500
I'm glad they stopped to fix it. Hitting that at 180+ would not only tear up tires, but suspension components as well.
I took a nap during the break. Worked out well.
I was hoping for Biffle to sneak up there and win it, and if it wasn't for the goofy green-white-checkers rule, he would have.
That being said, I am super glad McMurry pulled it out.
Best part of the whole thing for me?
Hands down the ESPN/NASCAR Metallica commercial!!!!!!
;D ;D ;D

Re: Daytona 500
DW has got to be the dumbest bag of flesh to be allowed on TV during a race... he's partly responsible for fans not watching the races as much just because he's so annoying.
