Afternoon. Ha - found y'all. (I can adapt to my environment .....)
Actually, blame FeetFrown, he gave this F1 gal the link to this thread.
I have a boatload of work to do this afternoon, so decided I'd give Nascar a chance from start to finish. It will be on in the study as I while away this afternoon.
OK - just heard "Gentleman, start your engines" ... what do they say if a female is has a start in the race?
What does "boggity, boggity, boggity" mean anyway?
-- If my questions get too much, ignore them. I know how I feel when we have Superbowl/Grey Cup parties - all the women gather round ME and ask me questions. I invite them to come back ANYTIME during the season and I'd be pleased to explain the intricacies of the game (both north of and south of the 49th parallel) but NOT during the big game please!!
It's the act of boogie'ing
I have absolutely no idea!!!:shrug: And don't know if I want to!!!:lol:Quote:

Is that the first Ford engine to go today? I suspect we will be seeing a lot of Ford's new engines expiring today.
As far as I know, The Sprint car is slightly faster but looks near identical to the Nationwide. Typically, you come thru the ranks of Trucks, to Nationwide to Sprint.. Some of the Sprint drivers race in the Nationwide cars as well for the experience, money, fame and to bring in fans to the lesser race
Looks like anyone can win this with the right partner.. Ford is running that new engine and we shall see how well it lasts.. Kahne does not give one a warm feeling if driving a Ford..
Martin moving to the back just to ride for a long while..
Is that like a drafting possum?Quote:

So you guys DO watch this for the wrecks!! :lolsign:
no way..it's the passin, the strategy.. the racin.. and yes accidents do happen.. You must admit, there is more passing on one lap at this track then the whole season of F1
