I’m sad they closed our little track here in El Cajon a couple years back. The closest track for us is Irwindale, which is about a 2 1/2 hr drive for here.
Dude!
I’m trying to detune the threads, not escalate hostilities.
This whole thing is over.
Enough already.
Thanks!

FR Nascar race Thread road disclaimer..
------------
This thread is for fans of Nascar and was started to Support Our Troops and have a regular place to watch and catch-up on Nascar activity year-round.
It was started 6 years ago and intended to be a fun place for those that enjoy Nascar racing and allow them to have a place at FR where fans can gather on race day to follow along and discuss the race.
This is an all volunteer FR operation and takes no funds from anyone and has no Nascar or sponsor affiliation.
It was also started so our military members and families could also drop in and get info and recaps on race results and other goings on in Nascar.
It is NOT a political thread, at least not in off election years and posting of personal political views and rumors re: Nascar and/or drivers is highly discouraged and blatant attempts to stir up controversy will NOT be tolerated.
If you feel the urge building to let it rip or really have to taunt or get peed-off at someone over their driver's actions or such, Please Take it elsewhere or OFFLINE! I know folks say things in the heat of the moment, a simple apology usually does the trick or we can delete the post.
If you wish to bash, bang on or just say nasty things for the sake of stirring things up about teams and drivers, I recommend you NOT do it without realizing it throws the threads off kilter and I may have to Red Flag the thread and eject the stirrers.;-).
This is a race thread and we all usually have a good time doing the usual banter over the teams and such, just KEEP IT CIVIL!!!
If ya have to repeat your same 'arguments' 100 times over, Please Give us ALL a break!
Stuff happens on the track , what looks like one driver's fault ain't always the case, so be prudent before ya lambaste or make a comment that isn't well-thoughtout and respectful to all the thread occupants or is a clear jab or insult.
Posting of inappropriate pictures used in a taunting manner will also result in your post(s) being pulled. This is a family friendly thread, please keep that in mind. There are plenty of other threads to practice your witticisms or haf-witticisms as the case may be. If folks want to start there own race thread, be our guest, we have quite a few regulars that won't mind, I'm sure.
Please keep the thread on topic as much as possible during the race. We post the current race positions and discussion of what is happening in the race for those that may not have the TV in the same room as the computer. Or, in some instances some may not even have the viewing channel available on their cable.
Also, it seems a few feel like certain drivers get short-shrift while others get preferential treament on the threads. Big frickin' deal!!! Get over it already. Stuff happens. If you don't feel the thread is your cup of tea, do us all a favor and move on. No one is forcing you to view or post here.
Beating each other silly doesn't change a thing that happened and only sullies the thread.
Those who feel this disclaimer limits race analysis and such just need to hone their skills. We do a lot of analysis.
Obviously folks will see events differently for different reasons, rather than treating it like life or death, take what good you can from it and try not bashing others with the bad to be the expert.
Thanks.. NR
Why are you posting that to me?
Just to share a little history and reinforce the ground rules, haven’t had to post it in awhile. Maybe some were getting complacent and we do get a lot of new folks who pass thru here, a few stick, some wreck in the marbles.
Also, I get the feeling a lot of folks don’t like to address me directly when they have gripes and that others don’t have to go thru what you and some others have.
No offense was intended. It was not directed at you personally but to let you know it was there as a guideline, fwiw, a bit late, but.. :-)
The above pictures and comments reflect the opinion's of the poster. Don't complain to Norm or FR. If you have a complaint about the opinion's expressed, please take the following actions: 1) Talk to the Hand; or 2) see the complaint department...below.
