Thats nice phone...
Watching this mutilated mess that they call racing at Daytona. It sucks. The 2x2 crap has to go. If they are able to do this at Talladega, I ain't going in the fall.
Now we're just going to have to wait and see but your right if it all comes down to who will push you to the front and the guy in front actually thinks he can hold you back from the slingshot well it's not much of side by side racing.
At least they got rid of that front spoiler that couldn't handle even being bumped with out breaking off.
I will agree it wasn't to exciting but my Boy Tony Stewart won by .007 seconds came all the way back from 14th in nine laps to do it.
As far as Talladega it's still a little different it hasn't been repaved and all the bumps taken out of it so hopefully it will be a little bit different.
And as far as losing the phone I bought the 6.999 free replacement if it gets lost/stolen or broken knowing me and not having one for such a long time it will take sometime to get used to keeping track of it but I also bought a belt pouch for it.
Thanks for all your comments.

I really hope the roughness of 'dega makes it harder to do this.
Btw...I like ur sig. I just ordered a few things from her site, since it's so hard to find anything of Danica's up here. She go-kart raced as a kid in the town I used to live in, about 10 miles from where I am now.
Thanks PooManUK did it i liked my other one i just can't stand Robbie Gordon if he doesn't crash out on his own he ruins the race by taking out other great drivers.
Don't know the last time he even finished a race with a spotless car much less finished.

See Robbie Gordon 36 laps left and turns a car and wrecks him

All in all, I thought it was interesting race. No one driver dominated and I like to see that. I was pulling for Martin, Stewart and Junior in that order. Since none of them won, I am glad the winner was rookie kid. That is cool. The track is certainly different since the repaving. I am eager to see how the bikes do on it in a couple of weeks.
The bikes are what on the speed channel? That's one thing I don't have I'm definitely going to have in Texas.
I missed all but the last 40 laps which were pretty good I must say and congrats to the kid and the Wood Brothers.

Yes, the bikes are on the Speed Channel; but I will see them in the flesh. That is the only part of Bike Week I participate in. You will definitely enjoy riding. The Hill Country of Texas offers great riding and little traffic. I am yearning to get back out there.
I know the racers are professional riders, but I'd be scared going around a track that fast on a bike!
I have several friends who race vintage bikes in the historic motorcycle racing association classes. The motorcycle races use the infield course and then part of the track. My friends tell me that the first time around, you come to that high banked turn and it looks like a wall. It is intimidating until you get used to it. In an automobile, if you are below 74 mph, you start sliding down.
