That was perfect- I laughed out loud.
Maybe I should ask for my money back for my Hooked on Phonics.

I must be a really slow reader, it took me 30+ minutes to get to this point.

I guess I read like I drive my Cup, slowly and, for the most part carefully because I simply can not afford to ball it up......breaking a fundamental rule about gentlemen racing....

From my POV (well behind the crashes fortunately) the drag about the Sebring mayhem (besides seeing gorgeous cars damaged nearly every session) was the loss of track time due to the multiple incidents. The race weekend became more of a "survival" exercise effectively but man did I have a good time surviving (lucky me).

My heart goes out to the RAtl and Sebring damaged car's owners, what a shame.

No 69 car has won SPB races and is on the record at many tracks. He has been competitive in this car for the last four races and DID put it in the position to start outside front row in tricky conditions (turned a faster lap in race 1 than the 222 car). He made a mistake at Mid-Ohio last year and now he's paying for both incidents through not being able to participate, as the rules state in incidents like this... Live by the sword...

Oops, looks like some moderator sent that post that I responded to into cyberspace trash, where it belongs.

Steve! My mother told me NEVER to click on any dirty pictures on the internet!

As much as I am loathe to resurrect a 7.5 year old thread, it was recently brought to my attention that the driver of the #69 car that caused the wreck may have been none other that Michael Avenatti. He of recent Stormy Daniels and domestic violence arrest fame. Does anyone know if this is true? Avenatti did some racing in Cups for several years...

Are you serious....?

CPL....?

Crazy, I look up one post from yours to the old adage "live by the sword................"

The tweets that were reposted last night from Avenatis own twitter re. - "all women should be believed" are the kind of karma and irony that all of Trump's enemies eventually seem to suffer.
