IANAL is the worst acronym to ever hit the internet.

I like Hydrashoks.

I know. It's terrible.

You could find 43 of the best people in the world at shoveling **** and they'd be the best in the world at what they do. Who said race car drivers aren't athletes Of course they are athletes. As far as viewership, people don't watch it because they don't know about it. Not to mention most NASCAR fans wouldn't watch it because "it's them small cars they race in them weird countries." To say no one watches it is a pretty ignorant statement considering almost half a billion people watched WRC last year. There are no WRC rallies in the US; the closest is Mexico. But it's not just WRC; many forms of racing require more skill and are more exciting to watch than NASCAR. And no, I'm not afraid of gays. Excitement: [ame] [/ame]

You might get a fiesta though.

My dislike of NASCAR comes from the fact that it has overrun any other form of motorsports on TV in this country. No more WRC on Speed, no more Isle of Man TT, no more fun stuff That, and it's boring and more of a repetitive endurance contest than anything. I'm not going to be one of the guys who sits here and says there's no skill involved in circle track racing. It does take some skill. I'm a car guy. I understand racing, engines, suspension geometry and how it affects a car's handling. I understand the millions of dollars of R&D a Cup team spends in a year. I just think that compared to other motorsports in the world, in terms of excitement, diversity of courses, and driver skill, NASCAR circle track racing ranks near the bottom of the list. I used to watch NASCAR all the time from when I was a little kid up until about 8 years ago when it just got boring to me. All the old school tracks dried up and here we are left with a couple superspeedways, a road course, and about 50 1.5 mile cookie cutter ovals where the chance of some spectacular racing has never even thought of existing. I'm not the only one who feels this way. There's a non-NASCAR motorsports channel developing. I can't wait till it's live - http://www.theracingnetwork.com/

I'll preface this with: NASCAR is gay. http://www.charlotte.com/109/story/314034.html WASHINGTON -- NASCAR fans might seem rabid, but are they actually contagious? Getting a hepatitis shot is standard procedure for travelers to parts of Africa and Asia, but some congressional aides were instructed to get immunized before going to Lowe's Motor Speedway in Concord and the racetrack in Talladega, Ala. The House Homeland Security Committee planned a fact-finding trip about public health preparedness at mass gatherings and decided to conduct the research at two of the nation's most heavily attended sporting events, NASCAR's Bank of America 500 event this weekend and the UAW-Ford 500 last weekend. Staff who organized the trips advised the NASCAR-bound aides to get a range of vaccines before attending -- hepatitis A, hepatitis B, tetanus, diphtheria and influenza. Rep. Robin Hayes, a Republican from Concord, took umbrage when he heard about it. "I have never heard of immunizations for domestic travel, and as the representative for Concord, N.C., I feel compelled to ask why the heck the committee feels that immunizations are needed to travel to my hometown," Hayes said in an Oct. 5 letter to Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., who chairs the Homeland Security panel. "I have been to numerous NASCAR races, and the folks who attend these events certainly do not pose any health hazard to congressional staffers or anyone else," Hayes added. Lauri Wilks, vice president of communications for Speedway Motorsports, which owns Lowe's Motor Speedway and other tracks, said Wednesday that immunizations aren't needed for the race. "There's no health risk that we know of," she said, laughing. "We have never had any disease outbreak during one of our weekends." The four aides were asked to explore public health issues at events involving large gatherings, such as how law enforcement and medical personnel would respond to an act of terrorism or other emergency. Lawmakers weren't part of the trip. The staffers traveled to Talladega last weekend, and are scheduled to be at Lowe's Motor Speedway this weekend. Thompson said the immunizations are commonly recommended for people working in hospitals, holding centers and similar locations. "Since committee staff members are visiting hospital and other health-care facilities available at or near these venues, including areas where groups of people are detained before being transferred to other off-site facilities, I believe that the recommendation (not requirement) that our congressional staff receive these same immunizations was sound," Thompson said in a letter responding to Hayes issued Wednesday. "I am sure you would agree that providing immunizations to personnel involved in public safety is good public health policy, and there is no need to exclude staff from taking the preventative measures that the public health community recommends -- regardless of why and where mass gatherings are taking place," Thompson said in the letter. Jim Walker, Alabama's director of homeland security, said the congressional committee aides who visited Talladega worked hard. He said they were trying to determine whether the state and federal emergency response system was adequate to handle a situation at such a large event. "I might have been a little skeptical about this visit coming in, but these folks worked," Walker said. He said the aides went on patrols with law enforcement, toured facilities and interviewed first responders, hazardous materials teams and other officials. Walker said he hadn't recommended the immunizations, nor were they necessary. He suggested a possible health risk to them was the voluminous notes they took. "I'm sure they needed to soak their wrists, they wrote so much," he said.

Yea, and the state is well hung.

Is this still going to happen?

I'm in for a khaki Flex-fit hat whenever they become available. And thank you for getting FF hats. They are the only fitted hats I can find that aren't 8" tall.

I'm a fan of a J-frame in .38 or .357 Mag.

What's it worth?

ROFL, nice PS.

I recorded it. I bet that's $2500+ worth of reload equipment they are using though Us po' folks need a $300 used setup.

http://www.wkrn.com/nashville/news/mtsu-looks-to-change-legislation-allow-guns-on-campus/121623.htm I doubt it will go anywhere, but it would be great if this happened.

I expected to see you humping it. I probably would. ;[

Well I couldn't have gone anyways. I'm going camping/fishing Fri/Sat and to the NMRA race in Bowling Green on Sunday. Thanks for the heads up though!

I don't know how to answer that. I guess just keep it concealed so if something like that comes up again, you don't have to worry about your gun being seen.

Hi. I go to GGC every week or two. Nice to have you.

I carry a 340PD .357 mag (scandium/aluminum frame + titanium) with a CT laser grip - .38+p Speer Gold Dots. I love the gun. It's the best carry gun I've owned... it's comfortable no matter how or where you carry it.

I wonder if Facebook is going to delete those pictures That gun looks fun..

Yea, Flexfit hats rock.

Well, I'm jealous
