I put 14.35 gallons of Octane 97 in my Silverado today and thought I hit the Jackpot. It was over $50 ...

I put 230 gallons of LSD in the Tan truck and reefer last night and wrote a check for $805.00 to pay for it...

bacon and rggs will be $25.00 by summer...

don’t be afraid to approach the drivers if you see them.

if they're not working, most are very willing to give tours of the haulers and carry lots of handouts...

I don’t know and I wouldn’t tell ya if I did. ;-) (but Shrub has been impressive) proving that you don’t have to win races to win the championship.. can he keep it up? that is the question.

Kurt needs a couple kids to tame him down a bit.. and some better luck..

Kyle’s wild ‘oats’ can still funneled and focussed on winning,, It’s still early in the season so to the Busch boyz I say ‘ Get crackin’!’

After Daytona Kurt has the karma thing going for him, but I think (as much as I hate to say it)Kyle has the better ride.48,24 and 17 will round out the top 5.

From Jayski...

>>Calif and Atlanta to switch dates? UPDATE: Rowdy.com reports: “According to our good buddy David Poole, we might find ourselves watching the Labor Day race in Atlanta. There is talk of California and Atlanta switching dates with Cali getting the October Chase race and Atlanta getting Labor Day.”(Rowdy.com)(2-22-2008)

UPDATE: Atlanta Motor Speedway president and general manager Ed Clark said Friday that the track has had no discussions with Auto Club Speedway of Southern California about swapping each track’s respective fall race date. “I don’t know where that’s coming from,” Clark said. “We’d certainly have to take a look at it and have to talk with our fans and employees and get their views on it. We’d have to at least look at it. If it would be a win-win deal for both sides, it would make sense.”(Macon Telegraph)(2-23-2008) Comment here.<<

Picture ping.......

I missed Jr! The trucks were supposed to go in the tunnel, last second change had them parking outside of the track. Jr's truck was 2nd and by the time we got into position it was too late. Hopefully the buddy had better luck, will ask tomorrow. Sorry, WCG!


Where they were supposed to go....


Haul butt to a new spot..







Flash was last.


Or so we thought...this was the last one, about 20 minutes late.


Don't know why they parked 'em outside the track.

Great pics! Wish I was there!!

The haulers all appear to be from the same structural design.
Someone has a nice business going.

Also, I don’t have time to confirm this.........................

The poison ricin was found in an Extended Stay America hotel in Vegas. Seven people were hospitalized for decontamination and observation.
