Not that one, that’s Jenny’s, already have it memorized. :)

[happydogx2]

Oh, you called the number. Jenny, huh. If you got that number where I saw that number ya best report to the infield First Aid Station. -

[SouthTexas]

I have already had all my shots. Been to too many races in the past. ;)

[happydogx2]

In all seriousness my wife and I have only been to two races - fall PIR in ‘07 and fall Louden last year. While we’ve had some obnoxious (and very drunk) folks sitting around us I’ve also met some of the nicest, intelligent, well to-do couples at the track.

We will get to Vegas but I’m also interested in Texas Motor Speedway. Have you been there and how would you rate it - say, thats not where you got Jenny’s number, is it?

[SouthTexas]

I like TMS, but am a bit partial, have been going for years. Wife got sick last year so I think my trips will be limited now. She went to Daytona with me and said no mas.

I do think the older cars were better at Texas than the COTs and traffic is an issue, but you just need to know that going in.

I’ve had Jenny’s number for years. :)

[tubebender]

Was that before her/his sex change?

[SouthTexas]

It’s from back before sex changes were done, so she was definitely a she. :)

Junior and Jeff Gordon headlined a star-studded National Guard benefit in Washington, DC. Here's a link to a pic; won't actually post it due to copyright and image size issues.

Here's a link to an article about the event.

Is the paint fading for the RAINBOW WARRIORS

[SouthTexas]

Now we’ve got to find other mechanisms to use Jeff so that he can impact our revenue without a lot of cost.”

Road trip!!!!

Think the paint is fading on all of the cars/teams. Hope Flash has just a little more than the rest before it all turns to rust.

Thanks Pat!

The Big Show has come to town!

[tubebender]

Beautiful! What do those paint jobs cost and how long does it take for a driver to clean one after a cross country run...

NASCAR in the WILD WILD WEST

[NYTexan]

Great find!

Now for some real action at Nellis AFB. Strap in, grab a drink, this is very real training!

At Red Flag, the international training exercise for air forces of allied countries, many of the world’s best pilots meet for the most challenging flying of their careers.

Vegas knows how to get the town excited for racing.

Although some of the guys have mentioned the hotels are not full as usual.

[WestCoastGal]

I think Flash had one of the best.

It would take me weeks to get that clean, but I imagine they do it quickly. [I have trouble keeping my car clean]

[WestCoastGal]

Looks good, can’t get it to play. Probably the firewall again - I will work on it when I get home tonight. Thanks :)

[GBA]

Great find! I LOVED it! Thanks for the ping. I sent it to all the aviation crazies I know.
