Thanks to you guys and the ones that FReepmailed me.

It’s not like a final Opus as you guys call it on FR. I will be around, but not very much. I don’t follow politics anymore that’s more stressful than Nascar so I hang out on other racing boards. I have an opportunity with another website to do some work for them.

There was a time when the race threads had some decorum. Being the thread host means you should be there to welcome folks and run the race. I have to work usually and cannot be here, reason number one. Reason number 2 is that vox_freedom is the only one who stood up to WVKayaker on the Richmond thread who posted disgusting pics to me along with bully tactics telling me I should go play with dolls. I am very thick skinned as Norm has pointed out, but for no one to say anything to this creep hurt my feelings. Why you ask? Because I’ve worked very hard spending hours upon hours putting up these threads trying to make them interesting for a long time. I have been told not to make them so Jr friendly - um not gonna happen. My pics and graphics are all Jr. :D We were all friends on the thread and off and you guys know who you are. I thought that warranted at least a “shut yer trap” message to weirdos.

The tactics of these late race hit and run posters are just not in line with what the Nascar thread has been all about. I have always thought it was to be about Nascar, what’s going on, the drivers etc. In other words NEWS and finally the race. I miss steveegg who always ran the thread commentary including everyone in his posts and put the interlopers in their place. As you may not know, the only reason I watch Nascar at all is because of a very honorable young man whom I adore as a person. Why you ask? Read my profile page.

I hope you will reconsider and continue to host (occasionally when you can) and post on the threads. I enjoy the intros all you guys do to make these threads welcoming to us race fans.

I wasn't on the Richmond thread last week so I'm not familiar with what happened and haven't had time to read the thread since coming home. We were visiting my husband's parents and got to watch part of the race and I was rooting for Jr. to win (JG is my driver of choice but right now I just want him to make the top 12 in the chase).

Continue to be passionate about your driver. That is what makes the sport so great. And while JG is my favorite, I can honestly say I like all the drivers in some form for their talents and/or personalities - even Kyle Busch (ducking).

I look forward to reading the various posts and information on the racing threads. While I can't always participate I can go back after a race and read and I always learn something I didn't know before. The regular posters here are great. This is the first place I came for information when my husband and I were given tickets to Daytona and I wasn't disappointed.

So please reconsider. You are one poster who gives great information and has a good heart. And remember, I have your back.

P.S. Thanks for another great thread.

I did make a subdued reply - -I shoulda / coulda done more. But, it was the end of the thread and I just picked up on it Sunday when grok pinged me to notify that I had high score.

Anyhow, there are more important things that car racin' anyhow. Many of my FRiends over here have already chimed in to

prayer thread for Mrs don-o

For that, we are truly grateful

(Tooting my own horn here) Hey, I was first, I told him the crawl back under his rock. :^) I gave it to that winodog jerk too.

Where will you be posting?...I like your reporting on Jr's in-car radio conversations and the driver's radio shows.
