uh-oh! i really wished you had'nt told me that..i wonder how tight security is at that track during a test. i've been there for the SCCA races -seems pretty laid back..
Yeah - that's partly why I wore my uprising shirt to Pocono -- to kind of put it in his face. I like the guy and all, but I'm the kind that likes to tell people when they're being a "nudge."
Cool story on the ride along car - guess it was a left over from his older fleet - kind of surprised they left it a Chevy though.... I sprayed black primer on my Verizon Fusion model today - hoping it will turn out nice!
Good Aussie beers... a matter of taste really, but if you were somehaow able to find Fosters here (I can't think of anywhere that actually sells it) and got caught drinking it in public you'd be laughed out of the country. Most people drink Hahn, VB or Toohey's but the boutique beers are getting pretty big. A lot of pubs now make their own beer - the Regatta down the road from me makes Regatta Pale Ale but they only sell it there and refuse to import. The beer market is a lot like the wine market Down Here now. Try these sites...

Yes, "Micro Brews" would be the Aussie-American translation. Some of them actually might be easier to get over threre than here. But please, don't judge Aussie beers by Fosters and XXXX alone. Seriously, they're swill. Redback isn't bad.
All is well, grandson who lives with me is a senior this year so we're almost at the end of that road..., now if only Robby can keep it together for the end of the racing season and get some luck. I know this mess is not from lack of effort and I really feel for all those at RGM working so hard. Wasn't their effort to get the #7 back on the track Sat night amazing, and without a mention from the talking heads that I heard, although i was listening to the scanner in another room and may have missed it, but I doubt it. Have a great weekend , Mike , take care, Chris
Keep the avatar, it has character, like I believe Robby has, for a number of reasons. Got my Monster shirt on ready for the race.Just getting watch the Detroit Grand Prix, held on Belle Isle, in the middle of the Detroit river. it's a beautiful park and great for watching freighters, but I can to the same thing driving 10 miles east to St. Clair .Roger Penske is a hero in this area for the race and a lot of other functions he has helped facilitate for "Detroit". (Super Bowl ) Here's to some luck a great finish for the #7 today...the whole team needs it and there won't be so much bitching from armchair QB's here later, take care, Mike, Chris
It's all good...we both agree sometimes and sometimes we don't agree...yet we can still have a productive conversation about it...the fact we can discuss it without "name calling", everything else aside...let's me know (and I know you don't need my blessing) that you are a good person.........
Would it piss you off if I told you I was a Sox fan?
You people refers to anyone who thinks Walter Giles is God. I know you know more than most here, so I doubt your part of that group. Being immature and being for real are two different things.
It still beat dealing with b.s. here that makes you so mad you want to spit in some one's eye, It isn't the fish that makes the difference anyway, it's just being on the water, eh.Did you remember to say "here fishy fishy" if not , theres your problem! take care, Chris
I know everyone wants to hate me for speaking my mind, but I believe I am showing maturity and standing up for what I believe in. I believe the stats will be on my side when all is said and done. I respect all of you veteran Robby fans, I have been there through the good times and the bad with you guys and I will be there in the future. That doesn't mean we shouldn't have opinions on what to do to make this team better. I know we aren't always going to agree, and its not us to make the decisions, but still, when something needs to be said, it needs to be said.
I would like to know what facts I am neglecting? As a fan I have nothing much more to go by other than performance. I know you have inside information, so if you tell me everything is going to get better I will have to believe you. But like I said, all I have to go by is stats, and the stats are on my side. I know there are other variable like you said. I would like nothing more than for Robby and Walter to start clicking off the top 10's they are working so hard for. Then please, do say I told you so, cause you would be correct, and I would be happy that my favorite driver is succeeding.
god i know! i made it back from Darlington in time to watch that snoozefest.Robs car looked awesome I wish he had a decent finish to boot. He will get it all figured out -people on here need to chill ..lots of fair weather 7 fans..same thing thing that drove me nuts about the Uprising!! hope all is well--kev
Hey Mike! Doing well on this end! Thanks! Path and I are having guests for the Loudon race coming up! I'm sure you've seen the posts! Everyone is soooo excited!!! Path has only met GO and I haven't met any of them, other than here and on the uprising!! It's gonna be a blast!!!!! As far as the greeter thing goes, I have stopped that here and cut my "regular" friends waay down! I had over 550 before, but, in hind site, WTF for!!!! Now it's a manageable 42!!!!! Take care and keep thinking positive vibes for this team!!!! They WILL do it!! Later
I have been here checking in daily, just trolling mostly, most of these dumb asses aren't worth talking to! Besides, I don't think you need any help bashin' the short bus kids!
Hey Mike! Wish you could be here as well! That would be some kind of party!!!!! Anyway, we will have to plan on something next year!!!! Path has been to Atlanta, and I have been nowhere other than Loudon! Have a great weekend!!!!!TTYL
Hi Mike have a good weekend - Hope Rg has a good one - don't know if rain will come into play. We are supposed to get rain from the left-over hurricane, but VA is further inland than PA. 35th in owner points -got to start picking up or Robby will be having to qualify each week. Joan
