The offseason has been brutal. I cannot wait until the season starts. COME ON!!!...


SIDE NOTE: The only thing that the EC(b) has is a couple great short tracks that I would like to visit....if I only had any friends :?

Sorry. I'll go back to watching soccer and counting with my fingers.

I am excited for the Gen 6 chassis car. NASCAR has gone back (a little) toward its roots. Manufacturer aerodynamics will matter again, now that there's not a template across brands. The racing should be more similar to the way it was 10-15 years ago. Cars should grip more with tires rather than relying on downforce. Should open up more passing on the cookie-cutter 1.5 mile tracks. If Daytona practice is any indication, should be tons of gratification for the "I only watch NASCAR for the crashes" crowd at the Superspeedways. Instead of The Big One at Tallega, you'll probably have the Big Two or Three.

I'm a little concerned that NASCAR may be overreaching with some of its bring-back-the-fan initiatives though. I haven't read all the rules about the Busch Clash (I refuse to call it whatever it's changed to most recently) tonight. Apparently there is some fan vote to kick out a driver, like Survivor. WTF? :dunce:

Now if they'd just get rid of the chase format...

PS. My family has a block of tickets, top row, sect 101 at Dover Downs. Had 'em since race #1 when the track opened in 1969. If anyone has a burning desire to see a Dover race, I can fit you in. Just need a month or two notice so my uncle who controls the tickets can reserve the spot. Fair warning: NASCAR races are not ideal social events, mostly because you can't hear a fucking thing for four hours, except during cautions when the cars rev down.

Actually, I'll probably be ushering on Turn 2 for my Lions Club. :nod:
