BTDT...Charlotte a few years ago...Noisy as hell, too. Even through my AF hearing protection.

Charlotte was my first track too. I gather it did less for your adrenaline than it did mine.

I just never got around to going back due to personal financial difficulty. (divorce) Perhaps next year...

 

[abooja]

Sorry about the divorce, but glad to hear you'd consider going back.

BTW, need some real visceral excitement? Go to a live stock car race.

Go to any AMA roadrace and watch the supersport guys go at it. Oh, and be prepared to not find stock car racing so exciting anymore.

Bah. Go to a rally. Watch small, overpowered, cars go at lethal speeds on gravel and dirt roads. Now that's exciting...

 

[abooja]

I'd be glad to see a damn tortoise race at this point. Still going through post-season withdrawal.

Pirates? They still around? I thought they threw in the towel after Willie retired.

What's a livestock car race?


Drive fast & turn left is not racing. Making your machine fly thru the air while surrounded by others flying thru the air, landing & doing a 180 turn....now that is racing.

Where's SN'P when I need him...

 

[Gonz]

at a moto-X race?

Doubtful, though I understand he's abandoning NASCAR after this past season...

I believe that Rally drivers (and navigators) have completely left the realm of sanity. There is however the added spice that as a spectator one of these cars may leave the racing surface and end up in your lap. It is fun to watch though.

What I like about supersport racing is watching four to eight riders exchanging positions at the front from start to finish.

At the local dirt track. I gave up the high profile series, remember? Something to do with a certain track getting shafted while a certain overcelebrated someone was being coronated needlessly....





How 'bout that Busch boy, btw?

 

[PostCode]

With a guy picthing 90+ mph fast balls and putting on a face like that when he does, I think I'd be a little leary about even going up to the plate.

I do. I was hoping you didn't.


BTW, Bud Selig approved the RJ trade. Just a matter of time before the dude in my avatar is tall, ugly and white.

Oscar's goin' Michael Jackson?

 

[abooja]

Michael Jackson ain't that tall.

 

[abooja]

Almost there!

 

[abooja]

Kickin ass and takin names.

Damn, he's walking right there in my old stomping grounds. I used to work 3 blocks from there.
