One of the advantages to getting older is experiencing first-hand some of the things older folks have told us over the years. One of my favorites..."what goes around, comes around".

Got me to thinking about back when I went to my first Bristol race...had plenty of seat room, As time when on, either the folks got bigger or the seats got smaller. The other day someone posted about a track reducing seating capacity and creating larger seats...just in time for our (at least mine) larger seating requirements...but I probably won't be using them anytime soon, but it's nice to know there would/could be room for my big butt.

Anybody else got any..."goes around, comes around" examples. Or better yet..predictions of things to come.

The only ingress and egressissues I've ever had was getting out of Peanut Turmans's modified. I somehow managed to get in through the normal window entry...but couldn't exit the same. Had to squeeze through the rear window...in front of a crowd of cheering on-lookers.

Not as bad as our Legend, though. At a press conference in Columbia, he entered a Tony Stewart show car and had the mayor requesting the jaws of life for what she thought would be emergency extrication.

As you can tell by the video below, she had no problems.

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.
