I dont know Johnny. Even if they stayed at the track suite's or at a hotel, the good friends would still come over. But the motorhome is essential. I may be just saying that because We've had one since I was born and it has really come in handy. That way, after practice and the Nationwide quals come on for example, you're not gonna drive15-30 to get to your hotel, watch tv or something, then come back in a hour or so, and your not gonna stay around the hot track with nothing to do if it's an impound race. Yes I do agree Nascar needs more rivalry and bumping, etc. But I'm just saying that they need a motorhome.

Anyway thats my point of view.

Johnny, I can only assume that you have already fired up that still at MGR and are sampling the product. Or, are you saying Duck Boy doesn't have a motorhome? Or is it Dodger that doesn't have the motorhome. What about the good old days with Joe Weatherly and Curtis Turner? Were they buddies? What about The Master and The Legend? They can't be friends and race? I can't afford a motorhome anyways, so I guess I need to visit the third turn tunnel at MGR.

Jimmie claimed he was trying to bumpdraft Kurt...............this from a "4-Time Champion". In my unqualified opinion, a driver bumpdrafts on a straightaway from a position directly behind & in alignment with the car in front. The "4-Time Champion" didn't appear to be directly behind & in alignment with Kurt............so I suppose the logical conclusion is that the "4-Time Champion" has not had enough experience when it comes to bumpdrafting and could probably use some more schooling in that area.

Go to the link Dave posted in the discussion. It was an undercover cop. But even at that why would anybody in their right mind sell a business and show records that pretty much say all this can be yours if want to cheat the IRS and risk going off to Club Fed for a while?

I had heard that he tried to sell his car wash business to an undercover cop and showed him a second set of accounting books. Don't know 100% if that is the story or not. Can you shed some light on this Dave?

I read that "news" a couple of days back, but when I got to the part that said they "skipped over the hot-button issues", I just dialed out. Same old, same old. Don't make waves or Big Daddy NASCAR won't like it. Shame on the team owners! If they won't speak up, who is left?

Despite "Have at it boys", it became abundantly clear this past week that it's OK to create mayhem on the race track, no matter how much it costs the car owners for all the wrecked sheet metal following someone's temper tantrum, but speaking the truth will cost you dearly. It's not nice to fool with NASCAR.

The car owners talk a good game there, but refuse to touch anything that might be unpopular on Daytona Beach. Given that, I can't believe they are accomplishing anything more than expelling some hot air...but they did get an excuse to go fishing.

The foregoing statement about the boring tracks was spot on. The fans...remember us NASCAR?...have spoken long and loudly of their preference for short tracks. So NASCAR, in a total lack of understanding, compassion or wisdom, models half a dozen tracks after Charlotte. Hey, Charlotte is a good ol' girl, but she's not the best mare in the stable. North Wilkesboro, with the kookie uphill in the backstretch and downhill in the front stretch configuration, just might have been. Where is she now?

Iowa Speedway opened recently, with a configuration similar, but not identical to Richmond. Brave Rusty! The gradient banking on that little beauty promotes fantastic racing...but Iowa doesn't have a Cup date and I've heard nothing about one in the future. Kansas, however...probably the most boring of them all...is up for a second date next year. Who makes these decisions? Actually, from what I've read, that one was made by Lesa France Kennedy, who quietly works behind the scenes. Kansas City is opening a new gambling casino and NASCAR wants a part of it, so they've arranged a trade-off. Nice. (At lease now I realize why that city somewhere east of nowhere was in the voting for housing the Hall of Fame. Funny how it all comes out in the wash)

High on my wish list would be to see several of the cookie-cutters replaced with tracks similar to Richmond, Bristol, Dover and Martinsville. Then, bring back North Wilkesboro and Rockingham while flushing that waste of space in Fontana...and maybe the one in New Hampshire while you're at it. Ah...if only wishing made it so!

OK one thing let fans into all the big time nascar races for 2 dallars tow all racecars to the track on open trailers with pickup trucks do away with motorhomes use pup tints all drivers drive there on cars to racetracks plus crue members do away with TV go back to radio downsize everything if a person wants to go raceing bad enough they will go i no i would
