Ok Troy. I am not a huge Nascar fan, but I do watch pretty often. I think they need to get rid of all the restrictor plates and every thing else that makes all the cars similar. I grew up with it when a good mechanic or visionary could make there car really fast. Yeah, a good driver is good, but there are a lot of past drivers who had great mechanics giving thme cars that were better than their competition.

Yeah Lee I agree with you loosening the strings on the cars. It has gotten so nobody can do anything to the cars to attempt to make it faster than the other cars. I mean years ago we had alot of different winners it seemed like. Sure we had years when there alot of mulitple winners but it didnt go on for years like this has been. It sure does get old and I think if it doesnt change soon nascar is going to be hurting. Afterall we are 5 races into the season and JJ has won 3 of them. At this rate the championship is over before it even begins. IMHO

Hey guys I dont know if anybody has ever heard of the Wheel Jam show in Huron, SD in June. We are taking the 5ver out to it this year. I have never been there but heard it is a good show. I will post a link to the website and there is a video on youtube that describes it pretty well from '08. If nothing else the video is pretty cool.

Hey guys. Hope everyone had a good Sunday.
I also am so sick of JJ winning. You listen to the Nascar announcers saying people should not complain about him winning and how good it is because it makes everyone else better. It is driving away fans is all I see. You see how empty the seats were? I know the economy is a factor but so is the predictability

Hey Jay hope your Sunday was good!
Yeah I noticed too how there were alot of empty seats. You never would have found that many empty ones last year. JJ winning is hurting nsacar more than they know I think.

Morning guys. Back at the grind of classes. Nearly finished the turbo project for dad's tractor, all that's left is a minor sheet metal mod. Here's a snippet. I'll post a thread later today with pictures for you to check out if you want.
