Okay......... lol
Each to Their own.
I see WAY too much bikes topped with spandex on our road. It seems the local lowes corporate headquarters crowd has picked our road because it is close to it. All they do is make Me want to puke and screw up traffic.
The Speed limit is 45 but most are doing 60+, I keep waiting for one to get hit because it’s just a matter of time/odds.
Yep spandex isn’t much of a cushion between flesh and auto bodies.
or Road Rash
so much for tomorrows plans
LOL,,,

Brian France gives "State of the Sport":
NASCAR Chairman and CEO Brian France met with media as the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season reached its halfway point at Daytona International Speedway. France began the news conference with a review of the new Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup format that features a virtual "win and you're in" formula for making NASCAR's postseason. Beginning his second decade at the helm of the sport, France also addressed the evolving rules package, noting he attended an hour-long session earlier in the day with NASCAR Vice President of Innovation Gene Stefanyshyn. He discussed how the competition group at NASCAR is basing decisions on science and technology. France referred to a new engine package that has been discussed this year and noted that those efforts are part of NASCAR's plan to lower the barrier of entry into the sport for owners and manufacturers. Other hot topics addressed included a recent report about new ways to deliver souvenirs to fans at tracks. France said, "We do think there's probably some newer, better ways to merchandise for fans." When asked whether Iowa Speedway would get a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race, he said, "We don't have plans for a Cup date there." With Nationwide moving from series sponsorship to sponsoring Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s Sprint Cup car next season, France addressed finding a new partner. "...on the Nationwide sponsorship, very good interest," France said. "I think in the coming weeks we'll be getting to the end of that process, and we will be in very good shape when the dust settles there." On whether the final race of the season might move Ford Championship Weekend from Homestead-Miami Speedway, France said: "When you talk to the Ford people and you talk to people at ISC, at Homestead, they want to do whatever makes sense for that sponsorship." But he continued, Homestead is "... by any definition, the best mile-and-a-half track that the drivers believe that they have -- that they can really race hard and compete hard, and that matters, too, right. It's a very important thing. When you factor all those things in, we're going to be in Homestead for the foreseeable future."
On changes to the overall 2015 schedule, France talked about weather issues at Bristol Motor Speedway over the last few years and said, "We'll be releasing that in September, but it's fair to say that there's a robust discussion within the stakeholders to come up with the best schedule that we can for 2015 and beyond."

Daytona will be Barney Hall’s final play-by-play race:
The voice, as melodious as a choir, as familiar as family. It has been a part of the soundtrack of our lives from childhood and adulthood to weddings and funerals. That sweet Southern dialect carried many listeners through lazy summer afternoons and those cold February Sundays. Even now, the man behind the voice can slip into some places unnoticed ... until he speaks. Then, they know. That’s Barney Hall. That’s the man who has brought NASCAR to them for decades. With more than 50 years of calling races, the 82-year-old Hall will remain a vibrant part of Motor Racing Network broadcasts, but tonight’s Coke Zero 400 will be his final as MRN’s lead play-by-play announcer in the booth. “The years have gone by so quick, it’s just so hard to believe,’’ Hall said with a smile during a break at Daytona International Speedway.(Motor Racing Network)(7-5-2014)
