vision386 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 If I am home,i usually try to take Vision jr. to the track to watch the trucks come in (no Macks un-fortunately) but this year i.m guessing there are going to be a lot of pissed off race fans here! As of about 8:00 it's been snowing like a bandit here! and it's cold ,windy.The truck race got moved/postponed up to today,so it's supposed to be a rare "double-header" race today,both trucks and the cup cars.........................................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.

j hancock Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Don't say that. It is raining here and I plan on watching the race this afternoon.Ever had one of their famous hot dogs?

vision386 Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 Jim,you know it's funny,we've been down here almost 8 years,and have never been to a race! When we still lived in Jersey we would usually go to Dover,Pocono,sometimes Richmond,but never been to one here,and the track is literally 5 miles from my front door!.........................Mark 1 Quote Mack Truck literate.

other dog Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 You should take a ride over there. 43 degrees here now, supposed to be 52 this afternoon with 70% chance of showers- that's for Lynchburg. Probability drops to 20% this evening, 0 tonight, so it might clear off.There'll probably be plenty of no-shows because of the weather, like there was at Bristol. I used to go to Martinsville all the time in the 80's-90's. We'd just leave Appomattox early in the morning and get unreserved seats. At the time the bottom 7 rows on the backstretch were all unreserved, don't know if it's like that now or not. And yeah, i've had a few little red Jesse Jones hotdogs. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

vision386 Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 To tell the truth,i haven't followed NASCAR in a good many years,i got tired of hearing about the "young guns" all the rule changes,the drama with the newer drivers etc. I was a big fan of Davey Allison,then Mark Martin. I still enjoy real dirt-track racing,i spent many a summer at Bridgeport,NJ Pleasantville,Nj Wall Stadium,NJ East Windsor,NJ Middletown,NY with my cousin who is now 76 years old,and STILL racing a 358 modified! Got a good friend in Jersey Matt Harrell who I used to drive for his Dad's trucking company,that is doing pretty well at Bridgeport too! Alltime favorite dirt-track guy had to be Stan Ploski from Ringoes,NJ drove my favorite car the #74 "Bulldog Expess" sponsored by Trenton Mack (note the half dogs on the quarter panel) ........................................Mark 1 Quote Mack Truck literate.

j hancock Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Got my racing fix for the weekend! Short track racing is the best.I have been to Pocono, Watkins Glen, Loudon, Charlotte and Daytona five times.I want to get to Richmond and should plan ahead and make a mini vacation so I can check out the Keystone Tractor Museum. 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.
