Ping for Pocono. Hope the Indy tires didn’t get mixed in with the Pocono tires.
Go 99!

[SouthTexas]

I just saw the time on your post, I better go, it’s late here!

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Biffle,its time.

I have been having a ball with google earth. I saw you getting a speeding ticket in the company truck the other day...

My sister and I will be at the race Sunday to work as volunteer ushers. The track owners give $50 to charity for every volunteer. It's good for the charity and volunteers get to see the race for free.

We use to go to races regularly but they got too expensive and the fans got more and more annoying. Last year's Pocono 500 was the last straw.

I got talked into this volunteer thing and I'm actually looking forward to going back to the track.

Saturday we're going to Sprint practice in the morning and staying for the afternoon ARCA race. Our volunteer credentials get us in for free.

I bought a new Carl Edwards t shirt (Aflac) for the race and then found out volunteers can't wear driver attire. I can see where it could cause a problem. I'll wear it Saturday instead.

“The track won't change next year, so if they want to come back, they better figure it out because I don't think the fans want to come back and see that.” - Tony George (Indianapolis Track chairman)

Gee. That's the kind of teamwork we need to resolve problems.

Changing topics. Didn't Pocono have an issue with turn 3 being partially repaved the previous race?

note: I'll be out of town this weekend. Maybe I'll get to watch some of the racin from our hotel room.

[LasVegasMac]

Thanks, Norm!

Turn left......turn left.....turn left....turn left

So you’re the nosey neighbor that everyone talks about.

[B4Ranch]

What charity is involved?

[NEPA]

I can’t remember the name of the charity. It’s local and named for a 16 yr old who died of heart failure. Her mother organizes the volunteers for the Matioli’s (both Dr’s) who own the track.

[B4Ranch]

Would you mind locating the name for us?
