Thread: Time for Daytona!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tweet

The fun starts today at Daytona, the ARCA race is on this afternoon (two Venturini cars on the front row), and the Shootout is tonight!!!

Finally, no more withdrawal pains and cancel the methadone treatments, racing is back!!~!!!!

Yep.. I gotta wait 'til 8 pm... almost there.

Townley won the ARCA race in a Venturini car, the other 3 team cars were all in the garage!!! Hard to believe it, but with all the years Bill Venturini has had cars in ARCA this was his first Daytona win!!!!!

The Biff leads first lap!

And the first big one. Smoke and Ambrose get together (just touched) and when the cars on the high side reacted to it - those cars just seemed to be on ice, just slippin' and slidin'.. a lot of big names in that wreck!

Just like practice yesterday, cars are looking good, drivers are screwing up!!!!!!!

they are all back in school, gotta re-learn what they know!

Yeah, really!!! Smoke got sideways, through sparks all over then drove to the front and won the first segment!!!! How'd you like to be the crew chief tonight----brand new car, gets loose as the fuel load goes down-----brand new cars first night out, how do you adjust???? The crew chiefs will earn their money tonight, too!!!

Pole qualifying tomorrow and Danica was fastest in the last qualifying session today, wonder if she can win it????

I was just reading about Danica, it's good to see her doing well.

Kenseth is STOUT! ( I hope he wrecks! LOL)

It doesn't look like Kevin Harvick is planning on just rolling over and playing dead in his final year with Richard Childress!!!! That car's a rocket!!!! The last segment should be good, Kenseth, Harvick, or Stewart????

Actually, I am disappointed. So far this is the usual, ride in line for 7/8ths of the race ( or should that say "drive"? 'cause we've only seen what 4 or 5 passes for the lead) BORING!

Give me the 2 car pairings and let's do some real racing!

when they just showed the kevin harvick in camera during his wreck he was not holding the steering wheel ... is that normal during a wreck ?

When all is lost and you're just waiting for the big impact it's a good idea to let go of the steering wheel!!!! When one of the front wheels impact the wall or another car it will generate more force then you can hold with your hands and arms so something has to give.....from personal experience it's usually one or both wrists, or a number of fingers, or the hands that wind up being broken!!!!!!

just about every time.. Hanging on won't help.

Hoss thats normal procedure in circle racing ( If'n your still awake) All it takes to learn it, is having steering wheel spokes trying to cut your thumbs off !
