Please pray on this day, and every day, for our Patriot Armed Forces standing in harm's way around the world in defense of our liberty, and for the families awaiting their safe return.
Just the ones coated in Melamine...
Yum.
Do you remember how our our relationship blossomed on those dog food threads of old?
I know guys that can destroy a hammer and then hid the dam thing in record time.
Glock Rocks, awesome thread, thank you.
A bit late (learning mode) but here are photos of the Las Vegas race:

We might be on page 6 –
WCG – The only “bearded one” I saw was J.J. Also saw JPM. I did get some great photos of the ‘88’ though.
The LVMS is a GREAT venue to see a NASCAR race and is about 15 miles from the strip out in the desert. Thank God for sunshine on Sunday! The Neon Garage is a must visit and gives the fans a close-up look at all of their favorite cars; the entire facility is extremely neat & clean…9th consecutive sell-out and they deserve a 2nd race in the fall. The pre-race ceremonies included 4 sky-divers and an aerobatic smoke plane & helicopter. Didn’t see Kim K and didn’t want to but we did rub shoulders with the Sprint girl and the Vegas show girls in the Neon garage. Everyone behaved – no fights and we only saw one intoxicated person at the track. The fly-over was awesome and not shown on TV was when the planes, still trailing smoke, going in for a landing at Nellis still in formation between turns 2 & 3. Jeff Gordon’s ‘24’ looked wicked fast just sitting in the garage – you just knew he was going to have a good run. If only Tubebender woulda changed my drivers like I asked…..the race was fun….clean & fast race….JPM said some very bad things on PRN (think soap & mouth) when describing McMurray’s driving.
‘Vegas has something for everyone. We hit about 12 casinos spending $5.00 in each on dollar slots. We ended up w/net winnings to pay for one day there…we are not big gamblers. Ate at Praggos in the Forum at Caesars Palace & Canelettos near the inside canal (with singing gondolier’s steering gondola’s without tourists) at The Venetian. We shopped the “Miracle Mile” and other outlets and enjoyed the water shows near the Bellagio Hotel. Bud Lite was the drink of choice on the strip and at the track. Saw a lot of Dewalt “colors’ but the driver of choice was J.J. followed by Dale Jr. Met several nice couples including an elderly gentlemen from Michigan – it was his first NASCAR race & first time flying.
Las Vegas Mac – The only negative is those @#$%*(@ dudes accosting you everywhere with those credit-card size cards advertising ladies services. The mess created by the thousands of cards immediately thrown to the ground and the dudes handed them out needs to be dealt with. I’d call Sheriff Joe from Arizona…….
Hammer Golf! Never heard of it. Looks like fun with someone else’s car.
Adam Alexander to join TNT crew of Dallenback & Petty for Sprint Cup races:
LOL. I remember checking the contamination list quite often to make sure that Costco dog food wasn’t on it.
Wow - cool recap of your visit. Sounds like a great time was had by all.
I should have passed along, but didn’t learn until you had left there was a tweetup including Amanda and Scott Speed and Jeff Gluck on Sunday before the race. The week before at Fontana TJ Majors also joined for a short Q&A before the race. There is one every week and is getting bigger.
Going to look at your pics now. :)
I wish I could go to that track.
Doubt I can even make TMS this year with my bad ankle/tendon problem :(
Thanks for putting up the Atlanta thread this week :)
I’m hoping Jr can pull it off in Atlanta - his stats are good there,
Dale Earnhardt Jr. (No. 88 AMP Energy Drink/National Guard Chevrolet)
• One win, eight top fives, 10 top 10s; one pole
• Average finish of 11.9
• Average Running Position of 10.6, third-best
• Driver Rating of 99.8, fourth-best
• 219 Fastest Laps Run, second-most
• 631 Green Flag Passes, third-most
• Average Green Flag Speed of 172.044 mph, third-fastest
• 2,545 Laps in the Top 15 (78.1%), fourth-most
• Series-high 352 Quality Passes
All top 5’s 10’s for Dale Jr were from 2001-2006 except 1 in 2008 started 2nd finished 3rd which was 3rd race for HMS - none since.
And of course the win in a fabulous year 2004!

Good job!

I looked, but couldn’t find ya.
You can say that again!
Thanks. It was fun - I just need to be a bit faster on getting the pictures to the thread.
You did just fine. I think, since you already have them uploaded, posting individuals will be fairly simple.
At work at the moment and I have to hit the road.
