  1. Hopefully a third ring for the championship is only 4 races away. We are 1-2 in the standings. A championship would make all the hard work and late nights worth it.

  2. I wish I could show you some of the failures I've had. Small end rod failures at 9500 rpm are pretty exciting. Similar to the video, but with more fire since the oil sprays on glowing red headers. I have dents in the cells sound proof wall as a reminder. Sucks to clean up though.
  3. Kinda out of place, but their shop is down the street.

  4. Grand opening of our new parts store location in the old Roush Nationwide shop. They have two chassis dynos open to the public. Forgot to take pics of the new showroom. Oops. Most of these are of course Fords. There was about ~120 cars.

     

    Started out in front of where I work. Nicknamed the "Big House" (We have four different facilities around town).

    Co-worker's Boss 302. He's thinking about a new Boss 302 to park next to it in his garage. It's mint.

  5. I thought the 2 car drafting thing kinda sucked. You watch restrictor plate races on the super speedways for huge tight packs, not for a loosely bunched pack. NASCAR shouldn't have put the restrictions on cooling. If they could have stayed hooked up lap after lap pushing the whole way we would have see a much bigger pack and alot more action. As it was you still got wrecks but it was becasue the only way to go fast was to push someone the whole way around the circuit and the slightest little mistake and the guy out front was done for. The racing just didn't do it for me. I think at one point the first 6-8 cars were running together and you had to go back nearly 20 seconds to get to the next car. On a road course fine, on a super speedway no thanks.

     

    I was a huge Dale Earnhardt fan. I pull for Jr. by default but actually find myself pulling for Montoya more than anyone these days. I think Montoya best represents what Dale Sr. did in his day other than the fact that he has no pull in the garage area with the other drivers. Kyle Bush is probably the best raw talent in the garage these days which I can appreciate but he's such a whiny bitch otherwise that I can't stand him.

     

    The Dale Earnhardt tributes were cool but completely over the top at the same time. The whole place being silent and putting 3 fingers in the air on the 3rd lap was ok, the 3 on the grass in the infield was nice, but every time Michael Waltrip or Dale Jr were referenced we don't need to heaer about Sr. as well. Let the man rest.

     

    Fords did not have to swap because of the coolimg system change. We were prepared for it. Bayne pushed the entire race.
