Opened in 2000, the 1.5-mile tri-oval Kentucky Speedway hosts four race weekends a year, including the Nationwide Series and Camping World Trucks.

Carl Edwards became the first driver to win races at Kentucky in both series when he won the 2005 Nationwide Series Meijer 300. He had previously been to Victory Lane in the Truck Series in 2003.

Kentucky Speedway filed a lawsuit in July 2005 against NASCAR and International Speedway Corp., alleging the companies violated federal antitrust laws by illegally restricting the awarding of Cup races.

The lawsuit seeks to force NASCAR to award the track a Cup race.

Top 10?

While most people are sensible and nice, there are those few who will tell you your face is ugly or sling verbal assaults at your character because there is a typo in your blog.

So what’s going on here?

First, people who would not normally confront anyone out of fear of getting their face rearranged, find that the freedom of anonymity and cyberspace releases their inner jackass. Behind the safety of their keyboards they become ten feet tall and bullet-proof.

Second, unfortunately, anger releases an adrenaline and dopamine rush. And, according to research, that combination can be addictive to some people. Here are findings from recent research I found on the Neurological Correlates web site:

Korean researchers combined a psychological test for trait anger with a genetic analysis of their dopamine receptor genes.

If a dopamine receptor gene has extra pieces of DNA in it, then the dopamine receptor protein (encoded by the gene) may be misshapen or may not be produced in sufficient quantity - and it may take more dopamine to actually bind to the receptor to get the synapse to fire in the neuron. For instance, the “7-repeat allele” - a dopamine receptor with seven extra pieces of DNA - is associated with ADHD (see the iHOP (Information Hyperlinked Over Proteins) database entry for DrD4 or the Wikipedia dopamine receptor genes entry, and scroll down for some references).

So, the researchers found, in their population, people who weren’t anger-holics and who were the live-and-let-live types had the dopamine receptor gene with few extra pieces of DNA (the “2-repeat allele”). The people who scored high on a trait-anger test had a higher number of DNA repeats (the “4-repeat allele”).

So, I guess my question is are there more of these deformed-gene people running around or has the web just increased the ability to get a “fix”?   - Toni Bowers, Techrepublic.com

I'm convinced there are more mutants on the web.

Wow, a real squeaker .. but Yup, Top 10!

I almost forgot to post the thread,, (heat induced, we been 90s and close to 100 for a few days now.)

[SouthTexas]

Hey, Top 10 is Top 10!

We’ve been in the 100s for a month or so. LOL
Heat’s not so much an issue, need rain. Most of the July 4th fireworks displays were canceled.

[SouthTexas]

In simpler terms, it’s better to be pissed off than pissed on.

[NYTexan]

Thanks Norm!

[glock rocks]

I think it's saying that the grammar police are mutants.

I thought it was interesting though. In retrospect, I don't think I've ever been angry with another poster. I've spent a lot of time feeling stupid about my posts. The ratio is on the order of probably 10000:1 stupid to angry.

Maybe I should write a browser Greasemonkey script that pauses for ten seconds before asking me "Are you really, really sure you want to post THAT??" and plays the Jeopardy theme song. Naturally, Tork will demand I write one for his mac, and then we won't hear from him for weeks. On second thought...

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10... Y.

[glock rocks]

The only difference in the version I write for Tork:

- It will play Wagner’s Flight of the Valkyries.

- It will ask if he “really, really wants to post THAT” three times.

- If he answers NO, it will post anyway, and add Admin Moderator to the TO: list.
