After the Indy 500 race, catch all the action in a 400 lapper from Lowe's Motor Speedway.

God Bless our Armed Forces members and families.

Never Forget those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms and this nation and its allies.

The IRL website has just gone into a meltdown.

[Final Authority]

If one reviewed Mario's race career one would discover he learned to race on local short tracks in PA like most drivers. Drivers now often start with go-carts, go to a drivers school and start racing on a local short track. I think that is how Jeff Gordon got into racing. If you ever get to see a supermodified race in Oswego NY or Star Speedway in NH you got to go. Alcohol injected big blocks, offset open wheeled chassis with a multi-element wing and tons of stagger. The go like stink, spinning tires down the straight and believe me, they do touch and sometimes bang.

[glock rocks]

cool pace cars !

[NormsRevenge]

Dirt & clay tracks .. open wheelers or supermodifieds.. I grew up in Minnesota and there were quite a few tracks back then .. I agree that is some very intense and exciting racing. I never raced myself but have a nephew who races superstock at a half mile dirt track. They run supermods there as well.

Re: the rain thing and Nascar rain tires + 190 mph ,,nyahhh,, too risky ,, with grand prix or road course , fine .. but some of these drivers are nutsy enough to go for it too aggressively on a wet track.

And the Indy Is on!!!

There are a couple of folks from your neck of the woods that come in here, PetesWife, for one.

I almost bought spare ribs too! kielbasa and mango chicken sausages and burgies here later..

Have you seen an Indy 500 thread today?

i'll check back in a bit, got 5 oclock shadow popping through in the front yard that i've gotta keep moist, installing a new faucet in the galley in the boat an a new Pioneer cd deck and Delphi XM in the boat!

And I still gotta make a beer run!

Sounds like your q'ing pig I'll look for the PBV.

what was the fire dept doing above the park and jet yesterday? they had the road blocked off...

[Rebelbase]

I'd show an interest in watching NASCAR if it took on a more competative, gladitorial compontent such as sacntioned bumping, ramming, and allowing the drivers to duke it out during race stops......Give it a Road Warrior flavor and I'll be a fan!

[Pete-R-Bilt]

cool, thank you!!!

[Pete-R-Bilt]

Q. Why can't you start an "official Indy thread?

A. The first time you bump the thread EVERYBODY crashes!!!

[budman_2001]

Nice truck, a little too stylistic for me though. I like this one: Ford SVT Lighting.

5.4 litre, 380HP.

[Pete-R-Bilt]

you're in need of a world of outlaw race, they crsh and burn like no other racers!!

[budman_2001]

Yes, it helps when the wifey and I get frustrated at ABC and that mouthy Jack Arute.

It does lag about 60-90 seconds though....

[NormsRevenge]

LMAO .. Could you see Junior driving at indy ? LOL

Here's a link to the newly named or soon to be Live Indy 500 thread by Miss Marple. Some comments by Dennis Miller and Andy Granatelli re: BJ Clinton

[budman_2001]

That's cool.....I almost started a thread myself. Feeling guilty about hijacking your thread. :-))
