Looks like somebody goofed and gave Danica the wrong engine. ;)

Honda guy 1: "Give the special engine to the girl."
Honda guy 1 walks away.

Honda guy 2: "Which girl? Um.....I'll pick the one with the nice shoes."

[Wheel-Nut]

Danni gets the good engine this week because he won the 500.

:rofl: Those pics load like back in my 1400baud dial up days. :)

[Methanolandbrats]

:rofl: Those pics load like back in my 1400baud dial up days. :) That's because of all the traffic :gomer:
Man, I checked out the event photos.......even the IRL photographer sucks.

[pchall]

Slow by injection or what? :shakehead

[cart7]

dang blame enjuns. :gomer:

[FCYTravis]

You think the TRD engineers might have taken offense to ol' AJ's comments and "accidentally" left a couple bolts loose somewhere?

[Ziggy]

Who's he gonna chop off this race? :gomer: :gomer: :gomer:

[TurboTodd]

My 6 year old daughter commented tonight that she needed to go to the restroom.. And then..

To which she said, "perfect timing.. he must have heard me.."

:rofl:

[Jervis Tetch 1]

Doesn't matter if his engine blew or not. Quattro sucks and swallows. :gomer:

[ChampCar#3]

Nice going PC, still glad you're witha top team?

[Methanolandbrats]

Nice going PC, still glad you're witha top team?Slower than Special Ed :rofl:

[rabbit]

Robin Miller, on the video roundtable on champcar.ws, said that he called PC and told him he'd taken a few too many shots to the head if he was willing to turn down the NHR ride to drive for Undera in the .1RL. :laugh: :cry:

[Methanolandbrats]

I'll bet Mr. Judd is a tad nervous about that grid. Whoremonger on pole, Danicle and Sam just in front........that's a lot of parts to dodge.

[lone_groover]

:saywhat: Yeah, and Engey's bound to smoke some rubber, and burn some fatties!

[racer2c]

What's a Vitor Meira?

[lone_groover]

What's a Vitor Meira?

Maybe he's just learning zee ovals?

:gomer:

[chop456]

What's a Vitor Meira?

The stuff of legend. So's the girl.

I. at the tobes of hades
The tobes of hades
Lit by flickering torchlight
The netherworld is gathered in the glare
Prince Vitor takes the cavern
To the north light
The sign of eth is rising in the air
Vitor, knight of darkness,
Centurion of evil
Devil’s prince

Ii. across the styx
Across the river styx
Out of the lamplight
His nemesis is waiting at the gate
The Ho dog, Honda glowing
In the damp night
Coal-black eyes shimmering with hate
Vitor and the Ho dog
Square for battle
Let the fray begin


Iv. epilogue
The battle’s over
And the dust is clearing
Disciples of the Ho dog sound the knell
Rejoicing echoes
As the dawn is nearing
Vitor in defeat
Retreats to hell
Ho dog is victorious
The land of the overworld
Is saved again.

[tllips]

^^^^^^^ LOVE IT!!! :rofl:

[Spicoli]

[RichK]

Nice going PC, still glad you're witha top team?

Hey, he got a free tractor from Tony!

[oddlycalm]

Nice going PC, still glad you're witha top team? He and Dixon will be hotly contesting 15th... :eek:

Question: Are the Texas IRL tickets sold in a NASCAR ticket package or is this a solo for them?

It will be interesting to see what the attendance and ratings will be.

IIRC, they were packaged, but were unbundled when TMS got the second CAB race.

Probably very good, Texans like russian roulette

Census data confirms that outside of Indyana, the highest concentration of :gomer:s is in Texas. :gomer: I'll wager there are plenty of red hats in the crowd.

Red cowboy hats make the crowd larger in Texas. Remember, everything is bigger there.

Not IQs, partner. :gomer: :D

[trish]

Looks like a huge crowd.

Of course I'm only seeing one angle.

[Methanolandbrats]

Of course I'm only seeing one angle. Ya, but it's Texas, they have almost as many gomers as Indiana.

[trish]

I don't know what a gomer is. I'm sure Texans are good people.

[trish]

Jimmy cracked corn

[Methanolandbrats]

I'm sure Texans are good people. Did you watch a lot of Mr. Rogers when you were a kid? ;)

[trish]

Not too much. I preferred Sesame Street and The Electric Company. I just love my fellow Americans...except for when I don't. :)


Did you hear that guy say that Kite (sp) was out and there were 21 to go? I wonder what he meant by that...

[RusH]

I was a Zoom fan :gomer:

[dando]

I'm sure Texans are good people.

Ever heard of a fella named Foyt? :gomer:

[cart7]

Danicle made an impressive DNF charge to mid-pack. That girls got it going on! :gomer:

[cart7]

Danica to P16. ESPN is finding it hard to focus on a sixteenth place car. 100k viewers change channel due to boredom.

[Tim]

Special Ed into the wall

I don't quite remember Zoom, although the name is familiar.

[Paintergeek]

I don't quite remember Zoom, although the name is familiar.


Zoom is still on, and may be the worst of the slew. They do this thing called 'zoom speak' or something like that, And I swear to god, When I hear it...anger overcomes me with the white hot intensity of 1,000 suns. NOTHING on TV makes me more angry more quickly than that *&$@&(&(@)*'s zoomaspeak crap.

As far as attendance.....the front straight looks very well filled. Gotta call em as I see em. The rest of the place isnt even open. But the main grandstands look quite nice, but as the danicle novelty wears off, so do butts from seats. I have to record it for my father in law, otherwise Id have not seen a second of this.

EDIT Danicle was a complete non-factor............finished 13th I beleive.

[Sean O'Gorman]

Special Ed into the wall

Yeah, I got a funny phone call about that from a certain hater on this forum :D

[FCYTravis]

I especially enjoyed Tony's interview. Enlightening. :thumbup: :laugh:
