I’m out of drivers!

I have several very clean previously owned drivers I could sell you with a ridiculous low down payment but you will have to pick them up here in Eureka.We have a deep water port if that helps?

She’ll be driving the other drivers crazy; it will probably lead to the first ever NASCAR driver mens calendar w/the lads showing they’ve got skin in the game too. :)

GM wants to cut 10K jobs (Opel) in Germany and wants 4.5 billion dollars from the German government & other Europeran countries to subsidize their operations:

Government Motors, the gift that keeps on giving, err, taking.

It IS Thursday!

Good luck with the weather, it’s beautiful here! Perfect for racing. :)

Don’t know about bail yet, don’t think I’m wanted in this county, not sure. Not sure about NYT either, but without priors, it shouldn’t be too high.

Currently 50 MPH winds w/winter weather advisory from 10:00PM tonight until 4:00AM Sunday. Snow accumulation on the pass is forecast to be 25”; they are scared to guess what Bend is going to get. I am currently packing to go move in w/Tork but he doesn’t know it yet.

Enjoy yourself and have a hoot. If bail is less then 10K you didn’t try hard enough.

Don’t ask me, ask someone responsible. I’m “day challenged” this week.

It is a beautiful thread w/great photos by WCG though.

Formula 1 is having issues w/Toyoter & Bridgestone pulling out. It could be worse for NASCAR.

On a side note Veterans Day is November 11th. With the tragedy at Ft Hood Texas today it’ll be another sad rememberance & reminder at the track on Sunday to truly honor those who serve in harms way here and abroad.

God Bless them all.

You two really need to hold that front up as much as you can!

We’re staying in tonight so no on track reports.

I only trust the Texas Rangers. The ones with the purty horses and the pure silver saddles...

SPEED Channel all day for practice etc.

Also.........In this week’s Nascar Scene there’s a story about the friendship between Jeff and Jimmie. Jeff says his frustration this year has impacted his friendship with Jimmie. Says ‘its getting harder to go to Victory Lane and congratulate him when you want it so badly for yourself’.

Later in the article its says “In recent weeks Gordon has said he’s felt his cars are ‘second class’ compared to Johnson’s”.

Good morning, WCG

Again, and seriously, it’s a great looking thread.

It’s funny that Jeff would feel that way (in the 4th year of Johnson’s run of excellence!) as Jeff seems to be running consistently better this year then last. I understand the “bride’s maid” feeling/frustration by Jeff but in comparison Dale Jr. would probably give his eye-teeth to be where Jeff is. Its all relative to where your team is overall and lady-luck also plays a part during the season too.

At least he owns the car. :)

LOL... That’s every race car driver’s lament unless he is the winner. Can you imagine how the Roush drivers feel. Watching practice on Speed right now

Was it the crumbs around my post from the glazed old-fashioned that gave me away? I can’t put anything past you.

S.T. might be wearing a ZZ Top beard to appear incognito to us and the county-mounties; was he staggering and did he go in with anyone?

I’m rapidly falling behind today w/other priorities demanding attention. Looks like a foot of snow fell on the passes last night with our turn coming this evening. Gotta go hit the record button for qualifying ‘fore the phone rings again.

Thanks for the ping, great looking thread! Looks like Danica on the path to a cup ride in 2012. Assuming she stays with Hendrick, and the 4 car rule still in effect what do you see as the driver line up? Jeff or MM retiring? I don’t think JJ is going anywhere else and Jr is signed through that year. Maybe anothe satellite team like SHR? For Jr and Danica?
