Join us this weekend for some racing on hallowed ground.

God bless our troops, families and this nation under God.

This thread is dedicated to the men and women in our country's armed forces defending our freedoms.

Thank you for your service and sacrifice.

Reports have said the surface is very abrasive and they don’t run here very often and don’t test here at all so the tar compound is in essence, grinding off.

Grandsons have collected “marbles”, the normal wear from the tars, from multiple trips to TMS. Wife say we have enough to make a full set now.

Just got back from a Farewell Party for our DiL’s Mother who passed away last Saturday...

[SouthTexas]

Sorry to hear that TB, you have my condolences.

[tubebender]

Did anyone else get 19 points for qualifying?

[SouthTexas]

A couple did, I only got 9, which is far better than normal.

I was just happen to be watching the Indy Car race. Dannica Patrick was running in 9th place. Her team mate Macro Andretti was claiming she was holding him up even though it seemed to me she wasn't. He got close enough to bump her sending her off track where she stalled. He ended up damaging his front wing at lost quite a few places and had to come into the pits. She eventually got started but both ended up as back markers. Michael Andretti is the team owner. Should be some interesting team meetings this week. Don't know if she walked down to his pit. LOL

UFC on Spike! DVR for first half of race!

[NormsRevenge]

I can’t handle all the mangle and gore , nasty stuff.. ouch.

the submission holds are pretty cool tho.. wish I was as flexible as some of them guys.

[NormsRevenge]

Condolences on the loss of your DiL’s Mother.

[umgud]

Hope their race runs smoother than their website right now. NASCAR.COM’s been screwed up for a while now.

[NormsRevenge]

They just had a segment with Smoke and some kids.. he’s a good egg.

[don-o]

Roccus got a big number - maybe 19

I got 5

[WVKayaker]

I can’t handle all the mangle and gore , nasty stuff.. ouch.

Just watched one fighter who would not give up, tho it looked like he lost a pint of blood or more. He had blood all over his chest (and shorts), and "flaps" of cut flesh, but refused to quit. Idiot.

I guess I just like that gory tuff. For the tame stuff, I could watch bingo, or Nascar!

-I call Kyle or Flipper at the end.

[NormsRevenge]

I don’t go there very much except for basic info.. way too much gunk all over their pages..

weather looks OK.

[don-o]

He is that.

[NormsRevenge]

I’ll take ostrich racing anyday..

Go Flipper

[WVKayaker]

I’ll take ostrich racing anyday..

They'll bite you in the butt!
