CUP: 7 Reasons To Love Phoenix

Here are some random facts to impress your friends with this Sunday, thanks to the track’s web site.  

• Jimmie Johnson has the best average finish at Phoenix and has won here four times, including the fall race.

• Mark Martin is the defending race champion. He has the second-best average finish, followed by Denny Hamlin, Marcos Ambrose and Jeff Burton

• Martin, Burton, Kevin Harvick and Dale Earnhardt Jr. have won twice here.

• The banking in turns one and two is eleven degrees. The banking in turns three and four is nine degrees.

•  The banking in the frontstretch is three degrees. On the backstretch, it's  nine degrees.

• The frontstretch is 1,179 feet, and the backstretch is 1,551 feet

• Tickets are still available, some for $25.  Kids 12 and under can get in free to the Hillside, where you are allowed to bring hard-sided coolers.

• Why is there bias against hard-sided coolers?  

• Arizona law prohibits fans from bringing alcohol to the track. No wonder there are $25 seats available.

• The track also won’t let you bring umbrellas to the track. It’s Phoenix. Who owns an umbrella?

• They have a weather policy in case rain delays things in the desert.

• You also aren’t allowed to bring skateboards to the track. How many skateboards were confiscated to the point it had to be written into track policy?

• Tony Hawk will not be announcing “Start your engines dude.”

• The track opened in 1964. It hosted its first race in 1988. Be patient, Kentucky and Nashville. Your times will come.

• SPEED has a cantina at the track. They are having Camper Appreciation Night on Wednesday and Harry  Luge Jr. Thursday-Saturday.

• Can they not get Foghat? What about Creed? Even Clay Aiken??

CRAP!

I’m in the Black Pete this week.

hope its rain...

[glock rocks]

Okra! You win okra!

[tubebender]

I suspect it will be gone by noon said the guy in 19th place in the league due to similar projections...

[Pete-R-Bilt]

We went 4 wheeler riding out on the west desert and the wind was howling HARD

lots of clouds but nice and warm and dry...

it’ll be what it is but the Tan truck’s in the shop with a bad TPS so I’m stuck with manual chains...

fingers crossed...

[SouthTexas]

Good for you!

Our drips have turned into a drizzle. Totally gray and damp, just lovely.

[tubebender]

Will you ask Pete was a TPS is and why it is bad...

[tubebender]

Was = What!!!

[happydogx2]

While you'll had gnats in your pants Saturday I was freezing my butt off in 37 degree weather catching this Columbia River Springer Salmon. That is my Salmon; one of those two yahoos might be HDX2..

[tubebender]

Good job there Dog.

[SouthTexas]

Throttle position sensor?

[SouthTexas]

Good catch!

[tubebender]

Yep! I figured it out after I stopped counting my winnings and hid it under several mattresses it occurred that big rigs must have moved on to TPS by now. We’re still getting light rain and the madding thing is it only totaled 3/10 for the past 24 hours.

[SouthTexas]

I watch “Ice Road Truckers”, otherwise I wouldn’t know jack about ice. LOL

Still overcast here. Crew just called in from 60 miles south, pouring rain and lightning just knocked out the transformer.

[tubebender]

What the hell is 60 miles south of Corpus Christi??????

[SouthTexas]

60 miles south of me, Kingsville.

NAS, college, front door to the King Ranch...

[tubebender]

Is it true that there is a movement to change the state name from Texas USA to Kings Ranch USA but the Hunt Brothers interfered...

[SouthTexas]

Never heard that one. LOL

[happydogx2]

Sky King? Penny? Song Bird?

On a side note I was able to finish an exceptional book while in Portland this last weekend. The book is “Lone Survivor” and is about a (born & raised Texas) Navy Seal named Marcus Luttrell. The book centers on operation Redwing but gives great insight into the incredibly difficult training of a Navy Seal, the values of a Texas boy (and family) and the incredible survival story of Luttrell after the rest of his team, heros all, were killed one by one in a multi-hour battle with the Taliban. It’s not a war story, it’s an American values story and I’d highly recommend it.

[Pete-R-Bilt]

yup.

dang thing didn’t know I was stomping on the pedal and wouldn’t get out of it’s own way!

[SouthTexas]

I know the fix!

Years ago I did some side work for an oil company. The boss wanted me to put twist lock throttle cables on the trucks.

Looked at him like he was crazy but he was serious. No, I did not put them on, told him it was illegal. Don’t know if it was at the time, but I really didn’t want to be responsible for a runaway truck loaded with oil, diesel, or gasoline.
