Duck Boy and Dodger

Tonight I will be at a local short track (Sumter Speedway in Sumter, South Carolina) to help support grass roots racing, show some support for a very good friend (Robbie Solesbee) watch the Bell & Bell Vintage Modifieds race, and to get away from the temptation to watch the media circus that will be the Nationwide race.The continuing adventures of Duck Boy and Dodger as the carefully orchestrated public relations campaign by NASCAR and Rousch to smooth over the debacle from last Saturday night's race. One major problem I see in those efforts is that Duck Boy does not have the ability to function in any situation where more than the most basic intelligence is required. Should be an interesting evening for those who watch. I've decided not to even set up the dvr. I'll let them race, read about it tomorrow in the paper and hope justice will prevail on some level. Obviously NASCAR has its own definition of justice.

I've wanted to be a writer for a long, long time, Perhaps I shall start a short story on the adventures of Duck Boy and Dodger. Nah, can't do that. After all, Dodger wasn't too successful doding old Duck Boy last Saturday. But then what can you do when he comes at you from behind?

One more thought here. If any of you reading this want to see some real racing action and support the true roots of racing, go to YOUR local short track tonight. Eat at the concession stands, do whatever you can to support those tracks. More stories that can ever been documented and filed away online come from those tracks, and continue to come from those tracks. Set your DVR if you want and watch the NASCAR event at some later time. Perhaps while having a root canal without laughing gas or novacaine as the pain of watching NASCAR attempt to function will make you forget the pain in your mouth.

Happy racing/watching

What a change! It's been awhile since I've checked in and I'm quite surprised. It may take me awhile to figure it our but first look it's really great.
