Prediction: Jeff Gordon won’t win this week.

Hey bro, just got done for the week.

I found some stats that I thought you and Nork would like on mileage averages...

A 2006 study by Texas A & M University found that the average American walks about 900 miles per year.

Another study by the University Of Texas found that Americans drink an
average of 22 gallons of beer a year.

Thus, on average, Americans get approximately 41 miles per gallon - not bad!

[NYTexan]

I think some of us get much worse MPG! Self included!

[Pete-R-Bilt]

sorry, I forgot the disclaimer...

your mileage may vary

some settling may occur in transit

Do not attempt, professional driver on closed course

hmm

One of Roush Fenway Racing's show cars, adorned like Kenseth's Nextel Cup Series No. 17 Ford, was stolen Wednesday in Atlanta.

Has anyone seen Matt Kenseth's car?

One of Roush Fenway Racing's show cars, adorned like Kenseth's Nextel Cup Series No. 17 Ford, was stolen from a Hampton Inn parking lot between 5 and 5:45 a.m. Wednesday in Atlanta, according to the Dekalb County Sheriff's office.

Not only was the mock race car stolen, but the 2006 Ford F-350 dually with crew cab and the Featherlite trailer that were transporting it were taken as well.

LOL, Steve is prolly driving it right now!

[WestCoastGal]

I FReepmailed that article to him two days ago and haven’t heard a word..........so I’m suspicious. :)

BTW, a very nice lead-in for the thread this week NY. It’s hard work, but appreciated by those of us that are race fans.

[NYTexan]

Thanks WCG, that means a lot!

Q up on SPEED now!

[NYTexan]

[GRRRRR]

Also, big mega Dittos to WCG kudos for the thread to NYT

[NYTexan]

In an attempt to further explain elements of the new Car o’ Tomorrow, we offer today’s wacky and wonderful technical bulletin.

The new nose features a much-less aerodynamic version of a cow pusher called “The Splitter.” The grille openings for the engine and brake cooling systems are prone to becoming blocked or clogged by debris and items strewn about the track. The teams have come up with a high-tech solution to help avoid clogging.

And that high-tech device is...

PAM cooking spray.

(rimshot, cymbal splash!)

So, look for PAM in finer kitchens and NASCAR garages near you.

And now you know. Amaze your friends. Win bar bets. Astound the kids with today’s High Tech Update!

[GRRRRR]

COT race and IMPOUND too???

How does Nascar figure this out? They NEED the practice and adjustments on the POSCOT!!

[glock rocks]

PAM?? Yeee... That goo would become sticky and gummy. I’d think a spritz of CRC Silicone spray would do the trick. It keeps the snow off my satellite dish.

[NYTexan]

Necessity IS the mother of invention! ;)

[GRRRRR]

FLAAASH to the POLE!!
Can he hold it?
