Nascar races rainy California today..

[halicat]

This week the Boys of Thunder are racing at Fontana in California, that is if it will ever stop raining....

Qualifying and practice have been both canceled due to rain and the forcast for today is for showers....

the track is a 2 mile long D oval with fairly low banking compared to Daytona.... 14 degrees in the turns..

I still have the Prowltalk calendar up for a prize and will award it to the member that gets the higest number of points....

To determine the winner we will give each finishing place a point value...

first place.... 43 points
second place 42
third............41

and so on down the line so as that 43 place will get 1 point

pick 3 drivers that you believe will finish 1,2,3

you cannot pick the same 3 drivers as someone else has picked, but you can pick 2..



So guys lets have your picks and cross our fingers that the race is a go....

Get your raincoats on and pissbags packed and ready for throwing.... lets go racing !

OK, Back from Daytona, and what a trip. I highly reccomend Daytona Speedweek for anyone who really wants to expierience what Nascar can offer. Something for everybody. This trip was great weather, a little golf, and alot of beer and alot of laps! Now, back to reality.

3. Matt Kenseth - FORD

CLEARING comes late into the day,,,,maybe possible to get in the race. Monday weather looks good,,but fans in stands will be few if that happens.

[POOLKAT]

AC, Where are all your Hendrick picks ,the ones you love so much. Boy, they took it on the chin last week. Watch them there Toyoters.

[halicat]

no Fords or Chevys in the top 8......:-D


I wonder if that ever happen in Nascar history ?

[Mike Downey]

Kyle Busch
Greg Biffle
Jimmy Johnson

Kurt Busch

[halicat]

[halicat]

Jr., Mears, Hornish, Sorrenson all wrecked.....

Hamlin went into the wall just before this... he'll be back...

[halicat]

This is going to be a late night for me...:eek2:

[blackcat]

Another brilliant decision by NASCAR...... There water draining out of the track......

[halicat]

they are cutting the track with grooves to drain the water....

[AC-INXS]

This is going to be a late night for me...:eek2:

Jimbo > I just checked the weather radar maps near Anaheim area,,,,,,another big rain cell heading east towards Fontana. I have my doubts if they get one more big down pour tonight,,,that this race would make even half the laps needed to call it a race. I could be wrong,,,,but I'll bet this race is going to monday if the sky opens up one more time today? and,,,that is what the radar map shows :mad:


Tom S. > I was sitting on the fence for my picks for today. Was going to go with C. Mears #5,,,,,,Jethro Earnhart #88,,,,,,, and S. Hornish #77 as my picks :eek2::evil:

:arrow:[AC,,,,you lying sack of horse sh!t!!!!]

Tom > Probably be a cold day in hell before I pick a Hendricks driver to win a race,,,,,even when I feel it coming. Feel the same way about RCR teams :mad:

[JOYRIDE]

Youd think this water problem would have been fixed before the first race there this season. Unless it hasn't rained there since last season :confused:

[JustAKid]

Nice water on the track , took out my driver(Jr), this is the stupidest thing ever by NSACAR, Agree with most of the drivers , should not be racing on this track

[halicat]

any rain at all will end the night....

getting ready to go......:burnout

[halicat]

all the Toyotas are over heating....can we call them rice steamers ?...8-)

[blackcat]

Crash Montoya hasn't been able to do his damage yet but it's coming.......:rll::rll::rll::rll:

[AC-INXS]

"should not be racing on this track "

:evil:I disagree. Let 'em green flag race with the weepers,,,,,,let the drivers decide the speeds to run until the wetness dissipates[sp]

Those driving too fast, will spin and crash out,,,,,those driving somewhat slower will remain moving forward.

Indy cars and F-1 drive in rain conditions on road courses,,,,,,. I understand oval track races and rain,,,but wetness on a drying track should not be a problem. JMO

[kat hunter]

all the Toyotas are over heating....can we call them rice steamers ?...8-)


probably not politically correct! :rll::rll::rll:

[halicat]

now its raining................. FECK !

[JustAKid]

Rain,Rain

[halicat]

just a sprinkle... one to go green...:tu:

[JustAKid]

They need to do something with this track ,What is up with all the TRASH

[blackcat]

The wind is blowing it all the way from L.A.

[AC-INXS]

They need to do something with this track ,What is up with all the TRASH

:evil:Must be the So-Cal Prowler Trash attending the race,,,,and throwing all their hot dog wrappers out onto the track.:icon_twisted:

:rll::rll::rll:

[blackcat]

Wow, with all the yellows this thing is going to last till tomorrow.......:rll::rll::rll::rll:

[halicat]

Kyle in the #18 has the afterburners on.....man, the kid can really drive..

[halicat]

red flag for rain.. AC called it....this could be it....I'm calling it a night if it doesn't get going in the next 1/2 hour...

[blackcat]

Yep, this thing is over...............

[halicat]

Is there a prowler event near the track to be causing all this rain ?

:confused:

[kul52]

Is this race ever going to end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????????

[halicat]

I'm anticipating a race tomorrow, gotta get to sleep... work comes early...

If it gets done tonight, I will have to total up the points in the morning...

[POOLKAT]

Monday to finish this thing off. HENDRICK and the EVIL EMPIRE will return................ well, minus jr and casey. JJ and Jeff sure looked strong. Do I have to watch the Oscars now, oh no!

AC , I happen to know you are a closet Hendrick fan ,but I won't tell anybody.........

[blackcat]

Actually they call him the Hendrick ho.............:rll::rll::rll::rll:

[AC-INXS]

:bows PoolPlaster and Blackcat > keep that sh!t under your hat about me being a Hendrick fan. :roll:

Actually I am a Hendrick fan of such,,,,,I buy parts from Jeff Hunter at a Hendrick car dealership in the Carolinas,,,lol.

Just NOT a Chevy Racing fan,,,,,,,,,,,never have been. i grew up with FORD and MOPAR racing,,,its in my blood. I owned a Corvette,,,but never considered it a Chevy :eek2: :icon_twisted:

************************************************** *******

Looks like the race will finish on monday. I'll have to find a radio station carrying the race.

To bed Jimbo,,,got to be late in Scotia >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

[POOLKAT]

Those parts you buy help support the EVIL EMPIRE. You are contributing to the downfall of racing as we know it. :rll::rll:

[JustAKid]

Yep I gave up on the 2nd Red Flag due to rain, I do not support the Evil Empire but
the bad thing here is that I am a Jr Fan. Sorry. I still however wear the old Red Bud #8 stuff. Can not bring myself to buy the new 88 stuff.

[halicat]

they are evil from within.... #5 wrecked the #88... Its not easy being green...:-|

[POOLKAT]

I was in DAYTONA for 10 days and it was unbelievable how much 88 stuff had already been bought. They said it would be a huge deal in getting all the #8 stuff turned into 88 and what a windfall for those guys. BIG $.

[JustAKid]

My # 8 Bud flag still flys on my house and I just can not pull the trigger on the new 88 stuff

[blackcat]

They're getting ready to start it again..............:tu::tu:

[blackcat]

# 2 just ran out of gas. Lost a lap. New leader is......................48, 18, 24.........

Thanks for playing


:beer::beer::beer:

[AC-INXS]

1. Carl Edwards - FORD > to WIN!!

PoolPlaster > I can talk some smack now,,,I picked the winner!
Damn Kenseth let me down,,,,he was running up there in 3rd, and then back peddled to the finish > assmunch.

:mad:Its totally sh!tty to pickup 119 points,,and come in second place. I'm a poor loser,,,,screw the PoolPlaster from Conn. :rll::rll:
I should get 6 bonus points for picking the exact winner, lol.

Jimbo > are we totalling the points as we go,,from race to race???

[halicat]

Jimbo > are we totalling the points as we go,,from race to race???

sure.. lets do it.....

I'll come up with a grand prize for the end of the year winner...total over all points leader....

I'll still try to come up with some kinda prize most every week...


:beer::beer::beer:

[AC-INXS]

Even though TUIVC doesn't know Jack Schitt about racing,,,,,he can have the Lucid Eye provide a 'solid' prize to the weekly winners

:biggrin:

[POOLKAT]

I am telling you, it is all the hard work put in at the track down in Daytona that has allowed me to make such quality picks. All the beer, the sun, the girls,the laps,it wasn't easy, but I am commited, ............or should be.:burnout

[AC-INXS]

Tom > we should disqualify you for making four selections,,,instead of the three allowed :mad::biggrin:

Next time,,,I'm filing a protest with NASCAR and P/T administration!!! :nono:


"All the beer, the sun, the girls,the laps, the lap dances,,it wasn't easy, but I am commited, ............or ,,,,,,[/b]"

I'm thinking Mrs. S. needs to be informed about those lap dances down in Florida,,,,,,,,,,:eek: [ole Chuckie was a bad influence on you, lol]


:rll:

[POOLKAT]

No scandal here. Did you learn the smear deal from the Democratic candidates? Look again, only made 3 picks, just high quality ones. Sometimes the truth just hurts. And someday I will share exactly what Chuckie has taught me about Daytona lap dances. I am already working on my Vegas picks as I intend to be back on top next week also, or my name aint Nathan Arizona.:bows

[halicat]

I may have to make a rule up to deduct 10 points for Hendrick drivers because they have been caught cheating so often... :icon_twisted:

that would even up the field for us guys that don't pick #24 or #48... EVER !...:nono:

[POOLKAT]

:nono:Now that's just piling on. Looking closer, I picked 1 Hendrick, 1 Roushe, and 1 Gibbs. Spreading around the love .:mrgreen:

[halicat]

I'm just messin with ya....;-)

but seriously, I'm thinking of making a driver ineligible to pick on races that his crew chief is suspended...

That would be fair...
