Tim does not have this pic on his fridge. He goes to it when lookin for a bite to eatand seeing that shot may make him lose is appetite. Tim has this photo on his dart board.
I've Always Liked Pocono

NASCAR needs POCONO for if anything to break up the cookie cutter syndrome. It is unrealistic to expect real close racing here with the track's configuration but it definetly challenges the drivers and crews.
I am curious if the new shifting rules lessened to competition even more.

Pocono is indeed my favorite track. Thank you Dave and Patty for the in and outs of this great area.
The track is a visual for me. When watching this race on TV the camera shots on the back side are tremendous with the trees in view and these cars running 180 mph. This is truly a drivers track and they have to be on their toes always.
This facility was designed with three USAC tracks in mind. The first turn was patterned after Trenton's speedway. The Tunnel turn copies Indy's hard left handers and the flat thrd turn mimicks the Milwauke Mile. Besides needing to keep your nose clean through the tunnel it is the third turn that wins this race. If your car can get off of it good then a nice finish or a win is in sight.

Sometimes it is really hard to express feelings especially when there are feelings of loss involved. I think many old school fans who complain (including myself) have to go through that...somewhat like one grieving the loss of a loved one. After the grief, things are never the same, but tolerable...and even enjoyable if one allows others and other things to enter their life.
I know, you may think that is corny. So what! Call me corny, I don't care. I have watched folks air out their grief and deal with their losses (I'm talking about the loss of racing the way it was when we liked it the most) here on this site now for over three years. RacersReunion is for some...simply put....therapeutic.
Many have asked me what I wanted to accomplish with RR. One of my favorite answers it to build a bridge between the past and the present. We, as a group, are figuring out how to preserve our beloved history and still enjoy racing. This is proof to me the bridge construction is progressing. Racing needs us old pharts whether or not they are willing to admit it. And we all need "big-time auto racing" to succeed....whether or not we are willing to admit it.
And now that Charlotte Motor Speedway has taken some of The Legends otherwise tightly held coins and given him and his grandsons memories they will carry for the rest of their lives.....I know there is hope.

A Great American
General
This weekend we celebrate Memorial Day. A long holiday thatwe love as it opens the summer. Lest we forget those who made this holiday possible.
Born in Spartanburg South Carolina on May 25th, 1925 Walter M "Bud" Moore is a Great American.
Bud Moore, a veteran of the D-Day invasionof France in 1944 andwas with George Patton's 3rd Army who releived the embattled 101st Airborne during the Battle of Bastogne.
Moore has seen many things that we cannot imagine, he has seen what we do not want to see.
We are so lucky to have those who have put their lives on the line and so luckyFOR those whohave given their lives.
Thank you Bud
