They couldn't race on Monday, because it would eliminate a day of going back to Charlotte and then trucking to California.
What I want to know is why do we need 1 hour and 20 minutes of pre-race fluff. I don't need to see a rock concert by some obscure band.
Are you seeing Mickelson CHOKING at Riveria? No birds-four bogies. Nice to watch Freddie too...Stricker leading at -5
It is now 2:23 PM.....when does this race get goin'?
West coast start times suck.......
:)
Somewhere past 3 your time.
Just start the race already. Digger sucks.
FOX trying to do a backdoor pilot of sorts for a “Digger” show next season? I just get a feeling....
Prolly helps sell more beer 'n' stuff.

can ya get that to bifocal size?
I got to rescan it on my other laptop at work. Prolly next weekend.
No argument from me...RUN the Race, get rid of this CRAP on TV for an hour+...
It SHOULD be...at the start:
10mins of pre-race, the starting grid, the anthem and START your Engines! total time...20mins MAX!!
Dittos to that! Keep Hollyweird out of Nascar
Works for me if it gets him out of race broadcasts...
“It SHOULD be...at the start:

So, in other words, just like almost every other pro racing series? :)
Yep. He knows Tiger’s back and now the hand is at the throat.
Another lipout now +5 since that opening eagle.
If Stricks can hang on, that’s great. If Freddy pulls this one out that’s even better!!.
For those not watching the golf, the rain has held off so far, so hopefully that’s a little good news.
Send Nascar your thoughts on how much fun and worth the Pre-Pre-Race JUNK is...
I just might do that. I have LOTS of suggestions for them. :)
Most of which won’t do much for NASCAR as entertainment product, but will make it more about actual racing.

hoagy62- 6 with a GWC due to a BigOne 10 laps from the end
The only other track I have been to is Fontana, way to used to LVMS. Where you can see the whole track, for starters!
Think it was about 4 years ago, the boy and I went to Fontana. They set a record for "earliest in the season" to ever hit 100 degrees. Man, that sucked. So bad in fact that after baking on Sat, we packed up and went home early Sunday morning - and watched the race in comfort.
That was not the tracks fault, obviously, but just did not care for the track at all. Too big, too much crap in your viewing way, etc.
And yesterday, for the CW race, the wife asked me, "where are all the fans?" - tons of empty seats. I told her that they were all underneath the stands, shopping. Remember that?
Still advertising seats available seats for here, next week. Will be interesting to see what the turnout is.
Thanks for the ping! TV’s on and I’m here!
