Wonder if MGI left the "Hornball" code in Heat. Now THAT would really spice Talladega up... ;-)

Now I remember why I enjoy your posts so much Dave....you always have a
unique perspective on things. :) It could be worse worse though, they
could start showing hot air balloon races. :( I really did love
watching those karting races. They used to show great ones from
Wisconsin (I think), years ago on ESPN. That was before ESPN decided to
leave the CART races with 2 laps to go to show the WNBA. ....<sigh>.

Actually, nobody outside of the RAD program (RCR, Andy Petree Racing, DEI) have
won at Daytona or Talladega since the new aero rules package.

Are you kidding me? Lawn Mower racing is competition in it's purest form. OK, that's a little over the top, but I enjoy watching it. The vehicles aren't high-tech but the video production is good, with on-mower views, driver profiles, etc. Plus, you can't beat a show that gets to cover such illustrious marques as "Lawnborghini" and "Mowserati".

Hey, it's a nice diversion occasionally...
