Thanks. Got it on my Toolbar Favorites. I've been to Fortuna Ca. but never Fontana. Maybe next year. Been to Sears Point and Lost Wages so So Cal should be next...

Nice eagle graphic, WCG. Thanks for the ping. So when does NASCAR kick in the new qualifying procedures? California or later?

A friend at work has Cup tickets for Sunday's race. I still like my seat in front of the TV. I-10 at Etiwanda is a real traffic mess without adding a couple hundred thousand race fans and all the weekend shoppers going to the huge Ontario Mills Mall adjacent to the race track.

It's a great track nestled right up to the mountains.

Remember last years race when the hot dog wrappers were flying everywhere because of the wind coming through the pass?

Yes the TV has the best picture of everything. Although I wouldn't mind being in California again for the shopping. Loved Ontario Mills!!

The email to pick drivers that Yahoo sends me usually says pick your drivers by Thursday and 0200 Mountain time.

The email I got from them this week says Saturday morning. Odd, Glock thought. It would appear they are aware of the situation.

That's because qualifying is on Saturday with impound. No Happy Hour. :(

That shoe went out the window on I-25 with the beer cooler. I'm sure you remember.

It was in the back seat at first, and, well, somebody mentioned something about too much Ripple, and then Bob said NOT IN MY CAR! and, well, the cooler.

No beer, just ice, out the window it went. Cherry Hills Exit or something... I don't remember, myself.

It WAS a great football game though, wasn't it!

It was a football game, wasn't it?

I got swallowed up by a giant sinkhole when my keg cracked a leak.. But I managed to crawl back from the abyss unharmed.

Thanks for asking, btw. :-)

I agree, the AB commercial is great!!! and the cat killer is hilarious, and this is from a big time cat lover. LOL

Thanks WCG.

This is always a great thread and I appreciate all the hard work that goes into it. I watch the races every week and then get to relive them through these threads.

I love racing and there are plenty of other places on this forum to get into political debates. It is nice to just get away from politics for a while. The added insight I get from the posts on this weekly thread I can't get anywhere else.

Keep up the good work all and go Jr.
