    Even with all the problems, I have to say I kinda enjoyed the race. Very interesting. So many things going on (well...except for racing...lol!)

    The Indy race worked out well for me....I was in Florida, laying by the pool, listening to it a portable Sirius. The frequesnt cautions were the perfrect time to take quick dips in the pool

    Good race today. Tony will get one soon...

    Glad to see Kyle survived his "slump"!!! Another 2nd place finish. Hopefully that first win will come at MIS next weekend so I can be there in person!!

    Friday I have a garage tour scheduled at 11am. Practice starts at noon, so I am guessing things will be pretty busy as we are touring!!! Can't wait!!!

    Ever feel like you are talking to youself? oh well....


    Can I tell you what a awesome time I had this weekend? Okay, so Carl won again, and if that keeps happening I may have to stop taking Ralph ( Dale Jr. won when I went without him in June)....but still.

    The garage tour was very cool. We went through the tunnel into victory lane, and just as we were walking across pit Road, here comes Tony and Ryan out of their press conference fora photo op for the media. I was 5 feet away!

    I got several autographs ( Michael Waltrip, Brian Vickers, David Regan, Regan Smith, Brad Coleman, Scott Riggs, Michael McDowell, Dale Jr, Tony Eury Jr.) and lots pictures of the drivers. I saw Robby Gordon so much by Sunday he may have thought I was stalking him....I really wasn't he just appeared every where I went!

    Our computer at home is still down, but hopefully we will get a new one soon and I can upload all the pictures.

    Aw, Amy doesn't anyone like you anymore? Or is it just Nascar that everyone is tired of? I am glad you had a good time on Friday - and glad I could help you find your way home. I know yesterday was a lot of fun for everyone - well, everyone that went to the race that is. It was very nice of you and Christy to pay the extra so your dad (and you) could get the pit pass. (I have to tell you I had no idea what that was until Christy told me). Your dad seemed pretty excited except in the fact that Tony didn't win. It was hard to tell him apart from the Tony Stewart thing whatever it was.

    I downloaded the pictures to my computer last night but I was just too tired to do anything with them after that. Of course the ones Christy took was mostly of the people and things in the pit area (I guess). or that is what it looked like to me.

    I am sure if you went to Julia's you could download ( and upload them to shutterfly and probably burn a disc so you could take them home ready for your new computer). And if you know what you are wanting in a computer she can probably get that done for you too. That way you could meet her new kitty Harley.

    Christy was very excited about the race also. I now know without a doubt where Jasmine gets her talkativeness from. She even followed me to the bedroom to keep telling me of the things she saw etc.

    If Mark hadn't mentioned the Member's Club when we were at your house this winter......it is his fault!!

    I did almost call you when we headed over for the garage tour, and came out of the tunnel right at Victory Lane. As we are walking toward the pits here comes Tony Stewart and Ryan Newman from their press conference for a media photo op. I was like 5 feet from them, and although I had to stand to the side to get pictures, I think they came out good.

    Sad thing is, I wasn't 100% sure it was Tony at first...clean shaven, collared-shirt, no hat or sunglasses....I knew it was Ryan Newman, but I hesitated to if Tony was with him or not until I got closer.

    Sounds like you had a great time! I haven't been getting my regular NASCAR experiences lately because I have had to clean lake houses on Sunday afternoons. That means I can have the races on while I clean, but I don't get the radio chatter.

    So, I'll open the can of worms...
    What's the deal with the magnets on the throttle pedals on the JGR Nationwide cars?
