Sweet Pingerooski and Nice Job!
Heck, you guys ALL do a fine job on putting these up!
Thanks, it makes my weekend...still early in the season, I still have a CHANCE in making the Chase!!!

More banking, faster track...what about the TIRES??
Will GoodYear bring a good one?

Will this track become another Charlotte?

Pick Carefully!

Good job!

One of my friends will be driving one of the shuttle buses from the Strip to the track.

I'll sit here and watch all the helicopters take the rich folks back and forth!

He works for the city bus, so he's not allowed to accept tips. But he does get OT!

If you ever have the time, take one of the guided tours of the Speedway complex. It's an awesome experience!
