Breaking news (at least for me anyway) Dale Earnhardt Inc, is now known as Earnhardt/Ganassi Racing! Yep, the bigboys are teaming up, my guess is they have lived waaaaaay toooooo large and will soon be paying the piper!

NASCAR has suspended all testing at its sanctioned tracks next season in a cost-cutting measure that should help teams save several million dollars in their 2009 budgets. :shock: :shock:
Imagine that!! :roll:

I remember the day when I would sit on the edge of my concrete grandstand and watch real men in real cars RACE for a victory. Those days are indeed gone.
NASCAR can revitalize their sport. It just takes a little imagination; Start half the field in one direction, the other half in the opposite direction. Or, how about The Timken 250? Ball bearings blown onto the track in the middle of turn 4 at a given lap, chosen by a lottery winning viewer at home. Or, Boiler plate wall at the start finish line just hydraulically popping up on say, lap 112?
This would curb the cry baby factor down, and most of the fans would be back in the empty seats. :idea:

Another one bites the dust......
MKM Racing Promotions have been putting on 3 Open Road Racing events in Nevada for many years. They recently announced a suspension of events for the near future, due to economic issues that are affecting them and racers. They were known for The Pony Express 130, Bonneville 100, Gamblers Run Twin 50, all very fun, well organized and safe events.
I'm sitting on a virgin race car that I was going to run in all 3 of these events cuz they are close by. So, I'll take her to the Salt in August instead and get as many runs in as I can to get my speed fix. I've also my dedicated pavement hill climb car for the interim. Getting our speed fixes are gonna be few and far between :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
