Off to pick the poodle up.

Only a Marine could admit something like that publicly, and not be a bit embarrassed :o)

[WVKayaker]

Can't honor me with a ping. I guess that is a lack of class.

I had steak tonight, and Spot enjoyed it, too!

[Wneighbor]

Thanks for creating a great thread.

And thanks for the radio updates and information throughout the race. Much appreciated!

GO JUNIOR!!!!

Looking forward to California!

[Recovering_Democrat]

DITTO....THAT! I think they should not have called the race. But kudos to MK....try to see you all next week at race 2!

[Dust in the Wind]

Thanks for the thread, onward and upwards.

[Pete-R-Bilt]

Sry. I’ve been waiting my whole life to say that!

[Pete-R-Bilt]

[tubebender]

Thanks for hosting the opening races. Are others having trouble navigating the Freeper League. I can't find all the teams page?

[steveegg]

Graci.

[WestCoastGal]

:D There you are right on time

[vox_freedom]

That's ok, even if disappointing. Everyone can see the good and the bad.
It's up to those who choose to be more responsible and show by example. Like my friend here:

Thanks again for a good thread, WCG. Everyone take care ... until next time.

[WestCoastGal]

GET LOST

[glock rocks]

DAD! the kids are fighting again!!!

Pete! Don't make me pull this thing over!

[WestCoastGal]

Thanks Glock

[Pete-R-Bilt]

the print is pretty small at the top of the page

[WestCoastGal]

Thanks, yes he’s been sick all week, FLU.

[Partisan Gunslinger]

You are my hero. :) I have a bad memory and I thank you for that.

I have a selective memory...my Scots-Irish gene runs strong when it comes to retaliation. :o)

[Wneighbor]

Do you know what a speed junkie looks like. For extreme example, see: meth freak!

Yes. I do. Unfortunately.

I also know what someone looks like, in person, when they've just exited their race car after a very hard adreniline producing race. Junior did a well-spoken and coherent interview. He didn't mis-represent himself in any way.

Matter of fact, he showed a lot more respect and self-restraint than you are showing on this thread. There are many people with differing favorites here and most of us have learned to speak our minds about our likes and dislikes between the drivers in a mannerly way. It might behoove you to do the same.
