I hate you.
I've been to 3 of the Texas races (2 we stayed in the infield all weekend and 1 we sat up high along the end of the front stretch). I have 2 other races I'd love to go to, Daytona/Talladega (I just want to see a plate race) and the Bristol night race (which tix are just about impossible to come by).

Post the pics as soon as you can and enjoy!

Sorry AustinGTP: I have been anywhere at nascar track. I went to Daytona (night), Bristol (day/night), Indianapolis, Lowes, Richmond, Talladega and Atlanta. wink This year, I already gone to Daytona night last July. I'm not sure about next year. I always go Nextel cup once in year. I think I will pass it so I can save more money for 2009 car project plan. laugh

Enjoy the race tomorrow. Go Dale Jr!

So are you one of redneck fan like as....

At Talladega, I don't remember when. I think it was 2003-04 either. When I was there. That's where Jeff Gordon won the race after stupid 4 laps caution for one car spin and end the race under caution. All people throw the beer/stuffs on track. You probably remember that. Lucky, I sit all way high row to wait all people calm down then head down. I didn't throw it because I'm not that person. When, I'm ready to go bathroom. I was waiting line. This guy who is Jr fan. He tried talk to me but I told him I'm deaf. He use middle finger (f**k) # 2 4 around 7 times. I just like shut f**k up. I understand 1st time. geez lol

This year, at Daytona... This Jr fan really hate Kyle Busch. When Kyle Busch start leading. This guy stand up and give middle finger at him EVERY SINGLE LAP only if he is leading. lol If Dale Jr is leading then he sit down and do nothing. If Kyle pass Jr for lead then he will stand up and give other middle finger.

So did you do that all that? lol

Re: Amp500 56k beware - 10/05/08 10:32 PM

lol that's good. I couldn't stand them. I feel embarrassing to become Jr fan. They are drunk, yelling, middle finger/bad words, throw the beer at track, and more dumb stunt.

I hope you have a blast time. Man, it was awesome race until 14 laps to go when Dale Jr got into accident. Damn you Carl Edward. DO NOT BUMP DRAFT on turn! geez... Thank to him. He cost nearly half of chase guys out of race.

The finish was very interesting. My dad and I was thinking Tony Stewart should win because Smith pass on yellow line. Smith's crew was cheering. Few seconds later... Tony Stewart's crew was cheering. I just confused who won race lol... After watch many replay of Smith pass Tony. I think Smith should won the race. His car nose already pass Tony's left quarter panel but it is still not on yellow line. Tony move down fast and Smith has nowhere to go and drive below on yellow line then pass him. I read nascar message board. They are very upset with NASCAR's call. It was crazy race.

So did you got scared by Vicker's tire blown? It feels like a bomb. I do feel it. It feel like grandstand start shake after tire blown.

The top 5 were all fighting for their first win at Talladega, 2 of them fighting for their first win period.
It was an exciting race.

Yeah, I want to see some new face winner. Too bad it is not going happen today. I kind wish both DEI cars pass Tony in 2 laps to go. Why wait until turn 4 in final lap? It was close but that's nascar call that he broken rule.

Re: Amp500 56k beware - 10/06/08 06:06 AM

I wasn't close enough to even here the tire blow. As for the finish the rules say you can't advance your position if you go below the line. It doesn't matter if your blocked down or not. You cannot pass below the line. He broke the rules he has to live with it. Only part about the race that bummed me out was no burnout at the end and fatso tony didn't climb the fence.

I'll have pictures up this afternoon after work.

Re: Amp500 56k beware - 10/06/08 10:27 AM

Both of drivers are not my favorite. I don't care if Tony or Smith won but it is make lot of nascar fans angry lol

lol I noticed that. When Tony got out of the car. Oh my god, he is huge. I'm sure subway is embarrassing to have fat guy who couldn't lose some weight.

Re: Amp500 56k beware - 10/06/08 02:12 PM

Tony lost a race a couple of years ago for the same reason. Tony passed for the lead below the line and he was handed the same penalty. Like it or not he won "within" the rules.

To use a line from Top Gun "below the hard-deck doesn't count" wink

Wait till you see the pic I have of him at the drivers intro. I was right across the track from him and have a good shot.

Ok here's some photos. I didn't get as many good ones as I thought I did. Between the cheap camera I have and not having the timing to catch the cars it's the best I could do.

Re: Amp500 56k beware - 10/08/08 12:29 AM

That's awesome pictures. I don't remember. It looks like Martin Truex throw helmet at wall? Did he walk all way to pit road? He is very pissed off. He has great car in 2nd place until accident. Your son might be upset to see Dale Jr wrecked. I was pissed too. Carl Edward always back to pack in whole laps. Now he is ready get up and don't know how to bump draft. He did that in turn :rolleyes: He really cost lot of chase drivers accident. I think it is Jimmie Johnson's year again. mad

Re: Amp500 56k beware - 10/08/08 06:39 AM

Truex didn't throw his helmet but almendinger kicked his car lol

I don't know what's gotten into Edwards these past couple races. He usually takes good care of the car. That's why he doesn't do burnouts and does a backflip because the burnout is hard on the motor.

Two weeks ago he bonzai's into a corner trying to force a win and this week he bump drafts in a turn.

Re: Amp500 56k beware - 10/08/08 11:31 AM

Umm I believe you mean Vicker. I remember I saw tv that Vicker kick blown tire.

lol I understand. Carl was pretty dumb. It cost his chance.

Re: Amp500 56k beware - 10/08/08 01:04 PM

Maybe you mean Mike Skinner?

Almendinger is fired. He doesn't drive red bull last weekend.

Re: Amp500 56k beware - 10/08/08 01:26 PM

Maybe so it was a Redbull car. The one in the pic at the end of the pit road.

Re: Amp500 56k beware - 10/08/08 01:46 PM

If you are talking about #83 who blew right front tire then that's Brian Vicker. I thought you knew all drivers? lol
