    I got a flyer in the mail from Mario Andretti and Jeff GOrdon.

    They need 350 dollars from me.

    The only thing I have to do is to drive down the AutoClub race track and drive one of their cars around the track.

    I'm not a fan of either so I'll have to use the money for something else.

    I got one of those flyers too. It's in the trash right now.

    This year the Nashville Speedway was allowing all season ticket holders the chance to drive their own personal vehicle around the track. I'd been a season ticket holder for the past few years but didn't renew this year. That might have been fun though.

    At the Saugus Speedway, since closed and made into a swap meet, they used to host a segment -and I cannot remember the name for it - where fans could come out and race their vehicles to try and set the lap record. The prizes were something like a dinner at Luigi's, a subscription for the local news paper and six cans of motor oil....

    It was a small 1/3 mile track where the barriers are pieces of steel plate backed with dirt.

    One night a guy shows up with a BRAND FRICKING NEW Mustang. I don't think it was two weeks old, if that. I bet the ciggie lighter was still new, the ashtrays clean and the the rear seat still not broken in.

    Into the wall it went....and the crowd went wild....I just wanted to know how he explained that to the insurance company!

    Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all -
    Together we stand
    Divided we fall.

    I laugh, therefore? I am.

    You ever make it to Ohio, I'll see what we can do to get you in a truck at MIS. I know my friend's school has trucks...I'm just not sure if he has any fit with a second seat to ride, so you may have to drive yourself!

    That's my boy!!!

    He owes me a few hundred thousand dollars for helping to vote him in! At least we don't have to do that again for at least 10 more years! "We don't have to run that hooligan race again!" Best quote from Kasey's radio all night!

    Congrats to Kasey! It was neat to see him come from the vote to win.

    What a boring race though....not a single caution! There was some good side by side racing, but it just got too strung out. THe most exciting thing was betting on which JGR engine would blow up next Don't know what the new engine package was, but let's trash it now!!!

    They were probably trying something different because of the shorter distance of this race. I'm sure it won't make it into a points paying race ever.

    99 cents and any additional charges.

    When I heard that I laughed. CE had a great line about him winning the ASR from the vote...

    At least Kenny Chesney was honest about it.
