Nascar 2009

[kokopup]

I have been a volunteer at the Barber Motorsport park for both the AMA Superbike championship series and the Gran-Am Series. This gives me free admission to the the WERA Regionals. aTailOf2Kitties the races you had in Memphis were WERA Regionals. I have worked my way into the VIP hospitality lounge for my volunteer work. I get to see all the racers and a birds eye view of the races. They just completed testing here for Indi cars and it looks like we will be getting an Indi race soon.I hope we can get a American Lemans series race here in the future. Barber is world class so eventually they will have a full calender. Between Barber and Talladega I get to see some great racing. I have been thinking of Volunteering at Talladega also.

yeah the bike races I went to were WERA. My bf's highschool buddy was racing for a while in that series and my bf and I were his onofficial crew, LOL. I've been to Talladega and Nashville bike races. We were busy when he went to Barber. He had a kid a couple years ago so he's kinda sittin' it out awhile. I'm not into motorcycles too much, but I do like taking picures and getting out of town for a weekend.

I've only seen NASCAR races at Memphis and the rare trip to the drag strip.

I used to be real big into motorcycles. I owned a Yamaha/Suzuki Dealership. My son Raced Motocross and we were on the road all the time with him racing. He was really quite good until he got a girl friend and discovered SEX. I couldn't convince him he had his whole life to be a lover but only a short time to be a top Motocrosser. He is 46 now and often tells me how stupid he was back then.

You need to come to Barber if you get the chance, It is world class and the Barber Motorcycle museum is unreal. I will go to 2 motorcycle and 2 car events there this year, plus we have our Audi Club meet there every year. I even get on the track a little. I don't race but we get some laps as club members.

I'm not a great Johnson fan, But that was one classic Martinsville finish. The 48 team has their act together. It seems that no matter how bad they are early in the race they work out the problems before the end. The only lap that really matters is the last one. I'm a Kahne fan and they
couldn't get his car right all day. Martinsville has never been one of his better tracks anyway.

Sex?

What kind of M/C is that? The closest thing I can remember with an "X' in is was a ROTAX!


Good to see Jeffy win one. I wonder how many parking lots he practiced doughnuts in while he waited for a checkered flag?

[Cincy'sMom]

I was glad to see Jeff win, just so we won't have to listen to how long it has been since his last one!

Got my tickets ordered for Nashville! I'm really excited to see how the All-Access passes work!

I recall very well competing against a 125 cc Mx bike in my days. This was The British built RTX. When I was a teenager I owned a BSA Bantam and My best friend owned a SIMPLEX. Mine was a great machine
and his was a piece of crXX.

ROTAX does make some good engines.

I think a lot of people were rooting for Gorden to win. I can remember when he was hated as badly as Kyle is today. He was dominating then like kyle is now. I guess he had to become an underdog for people to warm up to him.

I bet you dream about your BSA.....and still laugh about the Simplex!

I missed the indy race yesterday.


THis may be the year that Danica Patrick gets punched out. WTF is her problem? Everytime something happens and she is involved in it she HAS to go and complain and try to get people to drive her way.

I hope she DNFs the entire season. Her prima donna mindset really irritates.

Egg Rolls?
two for a dollar!
Jelly Rolls?
69 cents each!
Dinner Rolls?

Nemecek Rolls?
Priceless and he can drive away!

Oh I'm so sad that I won't be there this time. The fan walk is very nice there. I've gotten lots of autographs and photos from there. Being in the garage and the drivers' meeting will be awesome. I so wish I were getting to go. I'll be here on my couch 45 minutes away thinking of you. Have you been there before? Where will you be staying? Maybe I can give you some tips that will help you get around.

We are staying in Nashville, close to the airport. We'll be there Friday night until Monday morning. We've been to Nashville (Just once, overnight), but not to the track. Any tips on traffic for the race, or things to see and do in the area would be great! We have been to Opryland, and downtown, but haven't spent a lot of time.

I did buy the season passes and I'm not sure if we will make it back for the other races (I'm hoping at least the truck). If you interested in the tickets, let me know. I'd rather see them used then laying on my kitchen counter!
