The BD's finished 21 - 24 - 31 - 40

My backup team was 4 - 5 -14 - 15

Of course in real life had I picked them they would have all crashed...

My backup team wouldn't have helped much (3/31/33/39, also with 0 points led). 144 points for the primary, 156 for the secondary, 166 if I had guessed completely right after locking up the lineup. Forget the bottle; give me the still.

So are the libs going to blame Rummy for allowing these guys to race without body armor?

Just got home. Great race. Too bad about Mikey, he was coming on strong. Looked like something broke. Loved the flyby of the bones on burner.

Image #2 is interesting....drinking Coca Cola after winning the Pepsi 400....bwahahahaha Image #3 shows Pepsi but I think thats Jeff Gordon.

Well maybe not Pepsi...the bottle looks like it contains a clear liquid of some sort.

I went to bed at the first 'big one'.

Looking at the scoreboard Martin was running.

They got his car back into the race??

That thing was totalled.

What in the world??

Hey, I didn't mean to pass you, tb. It was a last minute change. I didn't do it. You didn't see me. You can't prove anything.

It was a wardrobe malfunction.

Wow, Tony sure took some names, huh... pole, lead laps, most laps and first place finish. I can see why he scampered up that fence. What'd he say? "I'm too fat for that stuff" LOL.

Bo said to tell you thanks for the ribeyes.
