Anyone going to Daytona 500?

[MazdaRacer]

don't forget about the heat......it gets REALLY hot in those cars....and they're wearing the uniforms and stuff too......yea.....i'm sure he could jump right in and go in a circle......riiiiiiiight......but, i agree, it's not for everybody....

and i wouldn't say it's better than sex......i mean, i haven't driven a race car or nething, but...uh.....i don't think nething's better than sex....some things r as good as..lol....and some things r close, but....NOTHING's better....lol

well, i have been 140-150mph in a stock car and even at that speed, it's the most exillarating thing i've ever done...i guess the best comparison is skydiving...

it's about |----| this close to better than sex

[MazdaRacer]

I've been like 3 times. Always in the infield. It's loud... :shrug:

I'd much rather goto the Rolex 24 where they run the full road course, and you can see the different classes of cars, instead of 43 basically identical cars that all run within tenths of each other. That'd be cool to actually drive, but not to watch.

it's loud in the stands too

i remember your pics from a few years ago at the Rolex 24, good stuff.

i watched this years on TV, but there's still only a few different chassis out there, but it's fun to watch the prototypes blow by a Porsche GT3 like it was standing still

the sig picture is from last year's Rolex. I worked in the pits. That photo was taken with only a 3.2x zoom. And its been reduced substanially.

i'll be there. i'm part of the army flag detail for the national anthem. we are also doing something at the gatorade dual on the 17th. look for me, i'll be the one wearing camo :D

[MazdaRacer]

nOOB!

that's the Gatorade Twins, which used to be the twin 125's, but this year it' the twin 150's.

whatever you say i'm not much of a fan of nascar and other redneck racing i'm there for the army, not the races

i'm with jesse that the rolex is much better. i've gone 5 out of the past 7 years. i didn't go this year cause i was working on my truck.

[MazdaRacer]

Redneck racing or not, i like it.

but i guess i am infact wrong...i just saw the announcement in an email and they are now calling it the Gatorade Duel at Daytona...so you know more than you lead on... ****ing Nextel just has to change everything...bastards

lol, i don't mind it, as long as i'm in the infield with some buddies having a BBQ and drinking

i was just going off the e-mail my unit admin sent me. thursday was supposed to be rehersal for the 500, but i guess they decided to volunteer us to be driver cordons.

[MazdaRacer]

get me an autograph if ya can

[blue LEDz]

get me an autograph if ya can

from the duel? i can probably get something. i'm gonna try to get some stuff from the 500 as well.

[MazdaRacer]

nah, i want your autograph

ya, whatever you can, i'm easy, ****, a keychain would be cool

[blue LEDz]

i was going to try to aquire something really cool/big and put it up for a raffle on here. hopefully they'll be really generous to a man in uniform

[mixmaster_matt]

the problem is is that not many people on here like nascar, they always come up with stupid crap like, "Oh like it is really hard to drive in a circle for a little bit" with no concept as to how hard it really is. So many will try to flame a nascar raffle., but don't worry, i will be all over it... so get something cool Brian, and maybe I will see you in Daytona...

[blue LEDz]

if it makes clubprotege $30 it'll be worthwhile it all depends on what i can get.

[pnlinton33]

I'll be working across the street from the track close enough for me
