Nascar Anyone?

I have certainly never traveled "in excess of 180 mph" in a car, although once upon a time in Montana I got a minivan rental up to 107. The little devil who always sits on my left shoulder was cheering & whipping the horses, while the little angel on my right wept and wet her pants. Over all, quite a thrilling 23 seconds or so.

I used to live about 3 miles (as the crow flies) from the RIR track in VA. On a hot, still summer night, you could sit on my back porch and hear the engines rumble & roar, very like the ominous growling that precedes a major thunderstorm, also quite thrilling. I know absolutely nothing about NASCAR or other car racing, but anything that involves high speed, explosives, very loud music and a dangerously accelerated pulse rate... count me in.

Which, now that I think about it, might go far in explaining the level of "success" (or lack thereof) I have attained during these oh-so-long decades of adulthood... Hmmm.

I think too many people underestimate the minivan's capabilities...thus missing out on the thrill you speak of here.

Many moons ago, I might have been a big fan of taking the Vanagon over residential/school zone speed bumps at mock 40 mph... and while it could have been the "herbal remedies" I found so helpful at that time or just the weezing laughter of my girlfriend as she rolled around in the back like a ball in a pinball machine, I'd choose a vanagon bumper boat at 1 a.m. any day over these fancy shmancy Nascar numbers.

Do I sound like Gramps again?

Oh yeah, if it wasn't painfully obvious already; I've got no Nascar driving experience whatsoever, but would be willing to apply all Vanagon driving hours to any openings offered by the Nascar folks.

And one more thing...

Blue, 

Your writing cracks my $hit up!

Have a good one,

Hey Beranda,

I was out of town a couple days over the Thanksgiving holidays and did not want to hop on my brother-in-law's computer whilst all the family gathered (hovered) 'round, so I feel like I've really been out of touch!

So, better late than never: first, thanks for the compliment!

Second, NO, you do not sound like Gramps, LOL, not to me, anyway! Alas, my opinion probably is not worth much as I could easily fill Granny's shoes -- especially if they're those high-top button-ups, love that style!  /default_laugh.png

And third: oh lord, the things we used to do in cars way back when, in days of yore, when there were no seat belts on those big ol' bench seats, every engine was at least a V-8, and gas was about 37 cents a gallon... I know your mental image of me is getting greyer & greyer, isn't it?! I like to believe it's just a strand or two, and that it blends in with the blonde to the point of complete camouflage. But then I'll catch sight of myself in the rearview mirror, with that merciless sunlight revealing all -- yikes! Definitely silver, not gold... We needn't go into what's happening below the hairline -- 'cause that would put us way off topic! 

Which, of course, is Nascar (see how I did that? Obviously, I'm not senile...right? Right?)

 
When is the Daytona 500????? This weekend????? I need my Nascar back!!!!!! Other sports pale in comparison.

 
The boys, and Danica, were on the track doing practice runs. Awesome to see the speeds.  Kurt in the 41 is going to be so fun to watch and listen to on the scanner. He always loses his mind and starts cussing up a storm. sarcasm x 500.  Go  Outlaw!!!

 
Wow, it's already starting? I'm going to brag @kroozer88. I rode in a Nascar car with a former Nascar driver at Talladega. My husband opted to drive and since I opted to ride, I went a LOT faster. Very exciting and highly recommended.

PS I like to watch too. Vroom vroom

 
Okay now I'm jealous. I started up a NASCAR one time but that was in the early nineties. And it was so f****** fun.

 
Put it on your bucket list. We did Dale Jarrett and those walls at Talladega are monsters. My husband looked like driving Miss Daisy the first lap he thought the car would fall off.

  4. moai @ moai: @MrFuszy test and anavar are AAS (androgenic anabolic steroids) and reta aka r3tatrut1de is a peptide for weight loss. I have a ton but not using it rn for personal reasons (long story). So he is using the testosterone and anavar for muscle, with the reta for simultaneous weight loss.
  5. moai @ moai: @runbee why you nervous brotha? GH will only help you but you gotta run it long term to get max benefits. However, there are essentially no downsides and returning your natural GH production can be restored with 2 days of fasting. Don’t be so nervous it’s literally a peptide lol, just don’t abuse/misuse it.
