This Sunday at noon playas!! Tough race, and one that you will see the drivers pairing up. I couldn't imagine driving at 200 MPH with my front bumper touching the back bumper of the car in front of me and not being able to see anything but the rear spoiler of that car for 500 miles. I know they turn left, but that takes some serious driving skill to pull off without wrecking. Can't wait, should be a great race.

This is the only Daytona 500 I can sit through.

Looks like it isn't going to happen due to rain. Awesome way to start the season.

Oh man, and I know you were looking forward to all the left turns.
Okay, last left turn joke. Promise.

This was one of the most strategic races of the season. Now they race it tomorrow at noon when I'm at work.

Meh. I'll catch the replay. Just not the same.

Speaking of left turns, one time a friend and I was heading to a billiard hall to meet up with another group after that second Star Wars prequel ended (and none too soon), and we took only left turns to get there. Not a right turn in sight. And somehow we beat them to the hall.
Then I lost every game of pool. While listening to some sort of metal the jukebox had.
Tangent, I know, but I thought you'd like a happy story about left turns.

It is appreciated. Thank you. BTW the weather was crappy again today, so they pushed it back to 7PM tonight. Yay, I get to see it live.

Wow man, what a f'ed up race that was. A wreck in the first lap, then a rain delay. Then as the jet driers are drying the track, Aldo Montoya's steering or something broke and he plowed one of the jet drying trucks, full of jet fuel to power the dryer. Talk about a fireball. Amazing no one was killed, let alone seriously injured. Crazy race, loved it. Lol, not Aldo Montoya, but Juan Pablo Montoya. So, not this guy... But this guy...

Where did I get Aldo Montoya from? Deep seeded wrestling love, I guess.
