You know it bub.
I've been a Jeff Gordon fan since I was a kid and saw him win a sprint car feature race here at our local 3/8 mile high bank dirt track.He was thirteen at the time.
After him,I root for the Hendrix stable as a whole.
We should run this thread out like the Super Bowl one.
Anyone agree?
Thanks for starting one basher ;D

I went to the race. WOOT WOOT my 1st race. Rain delay?? they said nothing about it. I just thought they were wasting time. It rained earlier in the day and maybe a drop here or there before. The race was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy a lot of people. I never knew how many people are actually there. But for my 1st race experience it was awesome!!!! What a long day. Had to drive 2 1/2 hours there and back.

I heard, because of the economic hardships, the seats were not sold out. They had to lower the price to sell out. I got a $40 refund coming. I have a short video of them driving by. Ill post a link as soon as I can. |

The Richard Petty Experience was the most fun I've ever had in my life. The hardest part is getting out of the car with wood!
