TR Dizzles

After a quarter of a year and atleast 500 games of Mario Kart (Wii of course) I finally got off my ass and got a job. I am working for TRD as a seven post guru now. TRD just opened a new facility north of Charlotte to support Truck, Nationwide, and Cup teams (and Grand Am), and it's pretty nice. Basically, any Toyota team will be able to schedule time on the seven post or other test rigs in the facility, and it's my job to support them. So, now I have worked with or for every manufacturer in cup. Wooo hooo.

Hotlanta this week. It was not very hot in the spring, as I think it snowed the Saturday of the race weekend. The one thing that IS always hot at Atlanta is the restaurant "Ted's". It's owned by Ted Turner and he apparently slaughters buffalo on his ranch and serves the meat in the restaurants. There are very few ideas that have made my mouth water more. I prefer the blue cheese buffalo burger, but I think all of the menu is to die for. They also give you 'half sours' as appatizers, which are half dilled pickles...MMMMMMM

Obviously a miserable result for the 7 again last week, but I think Atlanta will a diamond in the rough. The banking there is similar to Charlotte, and rewards drivers who can hustle the car deep into the corners, which is obviously a trait of Robby's. Most of the teams will bring back the same car to the one they ran at Charlotte if it survived, and the setups won't be much different. It will be difficult for the 7 to crack the top 15 since all the chasers are brilliant at 1.5 mile tracks. For a podium I will go with the 83, 18 and 20 and a 21st for the 7...
