WELCOME EVERYONE

This week we are going to Watkins Glen International Raceway in New York. Please join us for a full weekend of racing.

Watkins Glen International continues a road-racing tradition that dates back to 1948 -- when sports cars competed on the streets of the village at the southern tip of scenic Lake Seneca. The circuit, which at one time hosted the F1 United States Grand Prix, has grown to become one of the most respected facilities in the northeast.

This is an impound race, all practice is on Friday, qualifying on Saturday (unless they change their mind) FRFL picks must be made by Saturday morning 2am pacific time. I will update the practice times as we get closer to Friday as well as adding the qualifying lineup etc.

[WestCoastGal]

Mayfield on track. Had a terrible practice yesterday so I took him off my team. He''s run well here before,

Now he's 3rd, good job!

[steveegg]

93 Octane turns reckless abandon into a 121.275, good for 3rd of 10. I've now lost half my "B" and "C" drivers from qualifying points.

[steveegg]

Make that 3/4ths of my "B" team. I forgot about Rusty stinking up the track.

Brian Vickers with a 120.377, good for 6th of 11.

[WestCoastGal]

There's a store closing here that has Nascar stuff at 50% off. Hardly any Jr stuff left, but a few on the Robot. I was tempted. Just bought a Jr sign and car decal.

[WestCoastGal]

BP says he was shocked when he heard about Kurt leaving Roush.

I think everyone was.

[steveegg]

I smell road trip :-)

Talk about your disrespect; MRN went to commercial while Rubberhead was out on the track. He's 5th of 12 witha 121.091.

[steveegg]

I was happy until he took the Blue Deuce ride.

[steveegg]

Candyman continues to melt on the track; 120.075 puts him 11th of 13. Somebody tell MRN that the 38 is surging backwards.

[steveegg]

There goes the other half of my "C" team - Mark Martin's 2nd of 14 with a 121.561.

[WestCoastGal]

Candyman's had as much bad luck as Jr lately.

Crashed in practice yesterday, didn't get the Busch car in the show. Fell out of the Chase last week with a flat tire in the last 10 laps.

Go MM......2nd by 3/100th's of a second.

I swear that dumb show Texas Hardtails always has such loud volume, They do themselves no good because we all mute them out!!

[steveegg]

Speaking of bad teams, the Jack Daniel's puts down a 119.969 (13th of 15).

[WestCoastGal]

WHOA, Robot loose saved it!!

[steveegg]

Robot does his usual piss-poor qualifying; 119.097 puts him 14th of 16.

[steveegg]

WHOA, Robot loose saved it!!

Do I sense a trend with the Roush machines? Maybe they're thinking the weather will be quite a bit different tomorrow.

[WestCoastGal]

That's possible, similar setups.

McMary in the dirt on the last turn.

2nd

[steveegg]

Tom Hubert puts Ron Fellows into the show with a 119.080 (15th of 17, 4th of 5 field-fillers).

[steveegg]

McMary in the dirt on the last turn.

2nd

They're getting closer to Shrub - that was a 121.581 from McMary.

[steveegg]

Martin didn't take any chances on his now-3rd-best lap. Ricky Rudd 15th of 19 with a 119.946.

[WestCoastGal]

Rudd lost 8/10th's from the inner loop to the finish line. Had a good run going up to then.

FrontRow Joe up, doubt he can do it here....sliding 2nd.
