You have to understand that most of us died-in-the-wool NASCAR guys are
rednecks at heart. If you were to meet me in my line of work, you'd likely
see a well dressed (no Armani, but I do fancy Brooks Brothers) clean cut
looking 30 something guy earning 6 figures and own a home that did not roll
to its location.

Come Sunday I will be promptly plopped in front of the 65" wide screen
cranking NASCAR through the Dolby 5.1 in my DEJ tee shirt and shorts... :)
(prolly knocking back a few of DEJ's sponsor's products too). My NASCAR
following does spill into my real life as I am a Chevy guy, both as a fan
and a 3 Chevy owner ( the wife's ride, my commuter and work vehicle are all
Bowties)

Why can this be? Because I was born in the 'home' state of the sport (NC,
live there still), have followed NASCAR since the mid 70's and actually made
a little something of myself in the mean time. I just didn't get all
snobbery when the money started coming in, stayed true to what I liked even
if it is a 'redneck' thing. Redneck is somewhat of a compliment where I come
from anyway...LOL

Good luck with the little lady, she can't be that bad if she likes NASCAR.
My wife has it worse than I do since I introduced her to it in 1990 (when we
married).

ROTFL, Uncle Fester, my thoughts exactly...amazing that one woman can do
what 500 guys CAN'T do... ;]

No, you're quite a few things, Goy, but TP didn't describe you accurately at
all... ;]

Cheers!

sorry, didn't mean to email ya! i'm an ijit!

's cool,

i hope i didn't sound offended badly.... forgot the old smiley thingies.

i just assumed it was one of those southern dialect = ignorance from a
group of people who think youse guys is somehow more intelligent than ya'll.

austin, eh? you must live secluded if you don't like folk talking country
and you haven't lost your mind yet. if it bothers you, i can see why you
definitely don't want it channeled into your home.

back to racing..... there's a road called Speedway Road or street or
something in Austin (talked to a woman who lived there) is it some major
not nationally known track or just the name of the road?

hope yr not allergic to the cedars down there ;)..

"Jan Kohl"

Which reminds me of an old old question:
What can a Man do standing up, a woman do sitting down or a dog on 3 legs???

There's an obvious one, which I'm sure will be the wrong answer so I give
up.

Well, come to think of it, I'm not that much of an F1 fan any more
either, Aussie V8's anyone ?
