That place actually has a LOT of ties with NASCAR. Used to be on the NASCAR circuit way back when in the day too. Darrel Waltrip, Junior Johnson, Richard Petty, and Bobby Allison have all raced on this track. I just think its crazy how they all used to race here and the place is still runnin! The Hendricks have ties there somehow as well. I think one of their extended family still races there today.
Its BYOB and a good time on a Friday night with some of your closest friends!

Dang!! That's just up the road from my office... I didn't hear about this, but I heard about a fool that had several DUIs in multiple states hit a small import (couldn't make out what it was) and nearly killed a 3 year old. He's only being kept alive by machines, and his family won't take him off. But since the kid didn't die, the drunk is out on $7500 bond. The worst part is that the guy was driving a F250, and I'm pretty sure it was a 7.3. Here's the video story. VERY sad...

I saw a pretty nasty accident on my way to work Wednesday morning. 19 year old kid driving a ricer slammed into the rear of a parked semi truck. Completely destroyed the car. I couldn't even tell what it was. It was just a ball of metal hanging off the back of the truck. He had to have been cranking it on pretty good.

Jay, I was going to say the same exact thing Jim just said to you. We are not only friends on here but we are family in every sense of the word. We all share so much in common it's a little scary at times to me. Finding FTE at times was like finding long lost family members to me. We play, argue, take cheap shots at times and most importanly laugh with eachother and at eachother. I don't know what I would do without all of you....
Please take the time to call you dad tonight, I will call mine when he gets off work this evening just to tell the cranky old fool that I love him.

Hey Nolan, those are old baggage tuggers from the airport. I used to be a Ramp Manager for USAir back in the early 90's and we had 10 of those. Great little tractors. Ours had no low range gears and would do 30mph across the tarmac. You folks always wondered how you baggage could get so torn up when you fly, well, if you remember the old samsonite commercial with the gorilla tearing up the suitcase...... Yeah that was us.

IDK, we used to hook up to 737s with a towbar and move the plane forqard a few inches when the jetways wouldnt reach, BUT, that was on solid concrete, so we had plenty of traction.

Yea, I went last year and the year before that when it was just Denny. Tickets will hopefully still just be 20 bucks though. Last year was the first time in 4 years I waited in line to get a ticket! I did get to meet Bobby Allison there last year. His son was my favorite driver before he passed away.

Morning yall.
Man, I hate to come on here and complain, but I am having a really tough time finding a good company to work for. There is no shortage of work, but the companies that I decide to try working for, just suck.
Last two days Ive put in about 32 hours, and I dont even think my pay is at 250 bucks a day. That is just totally not worth it to me.

Mornin' folks. I'm up out of habbit, I guess. Don't have to be at the unit until 11. Woke up around 6.
About those tugs -- aren't they geared really low? Every pull I've seen they run up the RPMs after getting the sled going. That's one thing I've been wanting to see more of, and I'm going to try to get to a few this year. Wish I could give it a try, but 2WDs don't really pull, do they??
