I think their banquet looks better than the Cup show. I see Alan Bestwick was the host. I sure hope he gets a good job when the new TV contracts begin in 07.

I got it bad. the diesel smoke coming up from the sjop just isn't as good as tire smoke.

I should be putting up my DAKAR RALLY thread in a few days. The race starts Dec 31 in Lisbon, portugal, this year. OLN has same day coverage, but it's an hour before I get home from work. I hope I get TIVO for christmas or I'll have to quit my job.
