Jeff Gordon is the best stock car racer there is whether you like it or not!
Yeah he is the best but what he is the best at I am not allowed to say. :2funny:

Actually you are right Nikki, he is the best current driver and one of the best drivers of all time and while I do like JG he's not my 'favorite' driver...
In any case, where would the fun be if we all had the same driver for our fav? ;)
Yes I was just poking a little fun with it. That is one of the funnest things about NASCAR in my opinion. The rivalry between the crews, drivers, and fans. He is a good driver I will give him that. But the best? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Does it rhyme with "tick"? :o
:2funny: You said that not me.
Well tick, he is the wealthiest "hick" I know. Oh many millions does he have?
He has many that is for sure. And a nice looking wife too. Must be doing something right.

You can count on it!
I'm told that there will be 'professional' video available as well and if thats the case and it isn't too expensive I'll try to host a few clips on my site. ;)
As mentioned before somewhere else, I'm back home and in one piece so that's good, but the day was a disappointment to say the least.
Actually I'm feeling a little case of the dumb*** after the way I hyped it up on three different forums, here on TP, on my son's forum and on mine. But it sure sounded great at the time. ::)
The folks who were running the show were very disorganized and at least 3 hours behind schedule and I just got tired of waiting so me and my son Mike came on home. My drive was supposed to be at 1:30PM and when we left it was already 4:00PM with the race staff saying that it would be at least 45 minutes more... like I really believed them!
They had several hundred people signed up for this event, but only brought 6 race cars! Two of the cars were being used for the 'ride along' folks leaving four cars for peeps like me who were there to actually drive... but wait, it gets worse!
When you did your drive you had to follow an instructor around the track, that meant that you must match him move for move at all times, maintaining a perfect position behind him and only after you did that would he speed up. About to fastest that anyone got was 75-80MPH, I can do that good on an interstate in my pickup!!!
Oh, in case you missed it this arrangement this meant that there were only two cars available for drivers to use.
This is as close as I came to driving the race car.
FootBall fan myself, I played 6 years in Jr. High & High School....thats my Sport. ;)
Well thanks for the good chuckle Ken. Although that really sucks that you didn't get to ride one. I don't think it would have been much better even if you were able to get in one from the sounds of it. What a waist of your time. I hate it when things like this happen and it all sounds so good, because you don't know the details...
