Thanks for your updates
So are these threads dead? I could not find one on the Richmond race.
We have gone to lumping the last part of the season into a mass thread.
We got 2 Tickets given to Us for the 500 Saturday that will probably turn into the “Air Titan 250” But for free I’ll chance it;)
It’s too bad about the threads. I did not participate much, because I watch the races from a DVR as much as a day later. But I always read the threads after that and enjoyed them greatly.
I’ll try to get and post some Pics via the iPnone6s and some live info.
I’ve lived in Mooresville for going on 6 years and this will be the 1st time to go to a race here.
Been to the NHRA 4 Wides at the Strip 2 years ago, after that 2 wide will NEVER be the same;)
Getting Old Sucks!
However I do find turning left is less work than it used to be with only 4 toes on the Left Rear ;)
And the A-Fib is kinda like a Restricter plate.
w00t!!!
Wonderful post!
My Afib was cured by Dr. Niv Ad at INOVA hospital in Fairfax VA. He is the best in the world. But they went in to correct a valve problem and the Afib cure was secondary. He did the Cox Maze IV procedure, but they rarely operate just to do that. Usually there is a primary surgery like with me. My best to you. I have always enjoyed your posts!
Click on Toyota section "K" 2 times to get the interactive page.
If the Attendance is like we have been seeing on the TV we will probably be able to get close to Start/Finish Line if we want to. I like the Turn 4 seating to catch the "Last turn/Pit Entrance" action;)
Thank You.
So far we have it under control with Digoxin, “no surgery yet” Thank God!!!
I thought y’all had gone to that Great Race Track in the sky. I don’t watch and post as much as I used to and my FReeper league position shows it. I visited a old friend of 84 today who is still drag racing at 170 low 7 ETs. 3 years ago he set a class record of 240 mph at Bonneville in a Firebird. I grow great vegetables...
Way cool! I hope and Pray I even make it to the Octogenarion era.
Heck I only drive on the street for emergency reasons due to the neropathy in my feet- gotta look at the pedals to see what is what due to loss of feeling in feet. Mostly because it's safer for the others on the road.
My MD reference has gone to bed. what caused the foot problem?
yup... it’s not like baseball where you have to bribe the usher in the 7th inning to move to the unoccupied good seats behind home plate
It never cleared up with Antibiotics and foot baths daily, bandage w/ Meds so as Sir Chode says "This Little Piggie went Whee! Whee!!! all the way home to the Med scrapyard " so off came the Little toe and the Fifth Metacarpal. I asked if I could keep the "Parts to put in a jar of formaladahide for the Fireplace Mantle" and they all looked at Me like I was crazy😁 I didn't get it☹️
Well it’s 05:40’ish here in Mooresville and the rain has hit good and steady I’m thinking that Today will turn out to be an Air Titan kinda day 250 laps of them a dozen or so yellow flag “Race laps” and Call it till Sunday after the Busch Race.

AND Saturday night’s scheduled Bank of America 500 at Charlotte Motor Speedway has been postponed to Sunday due to inclement weather. It’s the second consecutive year the opening race in the Round of 12 was pushed back a day because of rain.

Weather forecasts varied initially, with some calling for rain to end around 5 p.m. and others projecting precipitation into the night. Sunday will now serve as a doubleheader, putting on two races the same day on the same track for the second consecutive week. The Sprint Cup Series race goes green at 12:00pm/et, with TV coverage simulcast on NBC and NBCSN, and radio coverage on PRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio. The XFINITY Series race would follow, with a projected start time of 4:30pm/et. It will be broadcast on NBCSN with radio coverage on PRN SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.(NASCAR)
