I just sent you sir my thoughts about your posts in general for today. You've done nothing but try to stir shit. I don't have the time to do so but anyone is welcome to take a look at what MAK2's posted today. If it was positive, say so and let me know and I'll adjust his points accordingly. If his posts were less then admirable, do what you want.
I don't give negative rep's lightly. In 4+ years, this may be the 5th time. I'll take whatever beatings are coming my way.

I dont give a damn about your negative points. It is the attitude and atmosphere of this forum. Remember it started out about a couple of liberals that were ran off. Then you followed me here and started some shit about me making a comment about NASCAR. Screw the points. Man up, say what is really wrong with you. Is it my tolerance? Is it my critisims of NASCAR, screw it, we all know what the problem is. I dont agree with everything you say.
WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! I followed you here?!?!?! Get over yourself. I haven't replied to you outside of this post in days.
Start by reading every post of Mak2 and myself, starting at 00:01 this morning.
He came in with a chip on his shoulder.
You two need to go to your corners. Both of you shut up and go to your rooms.
Fuck me people - is everyone around here an asshole? I thought I had the corner on that market.

The 500 sucked!
I caught bits of it on televisions at work.
When I saw that the track had to actually be repaired, then the delay, then all the crashes.. I said screw it lol

I haven't gotten to see the whole race yet, but man what a finish. Thought Junior was out of it so I was pulling for Harvick. Harvick made some good moves and I told Monica, he drives more like Dale Earnhardt did than Jr. does. Then all of sudden within 2 laps Jr. goes from 17 to 10 and then from 10th to 2nd in the last 2 laps. That is something his Daddy would've done. Lots of good driving there on those last few laps. Including Harvick, Biffle, McMurray, and Jr.

You can't blame Nascar for the condition of the track, they had nothing to do with it, blame Mother Nature.
Until they get rid of the restrictor plates,its not going to change much, as far as the pack racing goes. A 2 1/2 mi race track is past it's time as far as stockcar racing goes. Speeds have outgrown what the track and cars can handle. In the 50's it was cool to see those big old boats, convertibles too, hitting 140mph. With today's technology I'm sure they could do 130mph without batting an eyelash.
No easy solution, except the Golf Channel, for now.

What?
With all the $$$$$$$$$$$ that is involved with Nascar, the fact that one of the biggest racing tracks stopped one of the biggest races of the year is totally unacceptable.
Don't blame Mother Nature.
It's Florida, it's Nascar, it's Science.

I know it's a PI$$ off they had to stop the race. I , for one, understand completely. And yes, it was good ole mother nature. Let me explain as I've seen this before....
First, it takes allot of heavy rain(which daytona experienced for days before the 500) The rain seeps into cracks in the pavement and washes out the dirt underneath. The pavement still appears to be normal on the surface. There is literally no way of telling that the dirt underneath has washed away and left a big hole under the pavement. Now, put 43 cars out there running for 400 miles at 190miles an hour with the cars already built low to the ground and scraping the pavement in the corners. It doesn't take long for the pavement to give way and form a big pot hole in the track.
The same thing happens every spring on the mainstreet where I live. The same thing happened in my dads paved driveway last year. That was a weird one. His pavement is in excellent shape with no cracking. He reseals it every summer. It a low traffic area right infront of his garage right in the middle of the driveway, we noticed a soft spot in the pavement. We were wondering WTH??? This doesn't make sense. Dad pushed on it a little bit and the pavement gave way and revealed a 2 ft deep hole under the pavement. We had to fill the hole with fresh gravel and put a paving patch over it.
Did anyone else hear how they fixed the hole on the track the second time? Heard this on Dave Moody's show yesterday afternoon coming home from work. After they were done patching the first time, Nascar asked all the teams to gather up all the Bondo they had in their trailers. I guess they used Bondo to fix the crack the second time around.

I think the nascar guys use a fast setting bondo. They usually keep a supply on the trailers to repair damage from practice and such. Also to make the cars legal if they don't pass tech the first time.
