Catsup or Ketchup????

Always was a puzzlement to me when asking for that red condiment to put on my fries, hamburgers or hotdogs. Not only that, but I've heard those two words pronounced twenty different ways no matter which spelling. I also found out a couple weeks ago in some of the reading I'm always doing to prepare for my appearence on Jeopardy, that you NEVER ask for catsup, ketchup, or anything like that if you're eating in a restaurant in France. But, then again, the closest I'll ever get to France is the pavillion to that country located in EPCOT at Walt Disney World.

Know where all this is leading? I doubt it seriously. If you do, pat yourself on the back and applaud your ability to understand the ramblings of The Legend. What I'm thinking is that several years ago there was a TV commercial about anticipating the final delivery of the Ketchup from the bottle and the song "Anticipation" (which I happen to like) played as we watched the slow movement of the ketchup working it's way out of that bottle. Well, it's not the ketchup I'm waiting for tonight, nor anticipating. BUT, I am full of anticipation for the Third Annual Love Chevrolet Racers Reunion at the Historic Columbia Speedway starting this Thurday, April 14th, with the chicken bog cookoff and the candlelight track walk. Friday night is a cruise in at Piggly Park and then music at the track. Then Saturday is the day when there will be so many drivers gathered there and the place will be full of memories of historic events at the speedway.

So, catsup or ketchup? I don't really care, I prefer mustard on my fries anyway. But I am anticipating a great event this week. Come join us and find out. Check the Events Calendar here on the main page.

Oh, and if you want to experience a Goat Rodeo first hand, come out to The Sports News Grill at the Holiday Inn, I-26 and 378 (McSwain Drive) Tuesday night. Show is from 7:00 to 9:00. If you are wearing racing apparel of any kind, you get 10% off your dinner bill. Hope to see many of you there.

Pass the salt please.

Hey, guess what??!! In a 1988 national study, Charlotte, NC ranked #1 in per capita ketchup consumption, followed by Omaha, Nebraska and Atlanta. Coincidently, that was about the same time we had done Heinz Ketchup sponsorships of Morgan Shepherd and Hut Stricklin in Cup! It is hilarious to remember the giant Heinz Ketchup bottle remote controlled, talking robot we had brought in to the Talladega garage and the reaction of drivers being talked to by a ketchup bottle!

Dave, I actually have the 1/24 die cast of that car in the Lair. I've collected die cast for a long time and that one is one of my favorites.

Pk, really? A "pink" cloud"? What were you smoking when you brought that up?

Jeff, having visions? I guess I need to ask what YOU were smoking when you had that vision?

Anticipation!!!!! Can't wait to get this Historic Columbia Speedway Love Chevrolet Festival underway.
