It may be too late, but it’s the thought that counts. :-)

So, now you accuse me of thinking? /sarc

Sorry, if I offended, but racing brings out the competitive spirit in all of us! I have thick skinned friends, and we toss it constantly.

I don't put weight toward any driver. I watch, because it is entertainment. I go to races nearby, but missed this RIR May weekend. I ended up out at my cabin behind the mountain, planting a garden. Food prices aren't gonna scare me, as much as the inability to get things. The cost of bringing them to us is what will hurt.

Have a nice week. I'll be watching... and try to keep my mind engaged, if I am allowed back. I'll attribute it (partially) to the Glenfiddich clan! I'll stick with the Kentucky crew!

Straight up, I got a few things to share for you and all who will read the thread. It goes back over 6 years here at FR.

We supported our troops then, we support them now.

WCG , Glock , NYTexan , steveegg, pete-r-bilt and a couple others have taken it upon themselves to post these puppies every week during the season and WCG ran a Withdrawal thread during the time-off racing season.

You can go back in time to the day Earnhardt died, and the squabbles about him before and after his time, we kicked a folk or two off becuz they could’t rein it in or felt so strongly over events and such, it wrecked the threads flow and intent, actually we exercised our option to ask them to move on as personal attacks and all the taunting and insults were not conducive to the threads or the spirit they were started in.

You may be an adult and you may not be a bully but you need to know when to let it go here. We are a community as is FR and being taken out behind the wood shed is not a cliquish thing here, albeit most do survive, but a few don’t or choose not to.

I could care less if you come back, frankly. The loss of WCG hurts folks who have kinown her here the last few years but we’re adults (not “little girls”) and Buddies die side by side in battle during times of war, and so do racers once in a while. So your loss would not stop me from doing what I been doing for going on 7 years, the length of time following 9/11. But you are who you are and if you keep it civil, I’ll let you take another run at the wall if you so choose. ;-)

also, WE all have passions, some are not as easily shared by all when they burst forth but we live with it, when it gets in yur face or such... Nor ought they cast aspersions on others without knowing the person a wee bit. Some of us have been here a long time and hate it when newbs go for the jugular.

Nope, wouldn’t miss ya at all, there will be others tho, I’m sure, some more tempered, some not so that will get in the flow.

I started this particular race thread for no other reason than supporting our troopsm and providing coverage of the races and the racers, and have always tried to keep it clean, have some fun and toss the day-bree in the back of the pick-up when the race was done.

Nope, we’re just Moms and Pops , vets and 4Frs, .. clique? hardly.

Sorry if you feel that strongly to post definitions, but I guess in a way that defines you too, huh?

I guess I’m just old school.

Above all, decorum.

Now, back to racing.. a kinder gentler sport.. (GHWBush-)
