OT: RL Daytona 500

I laughed, I cried, a watched some fantastic racing. I watched a pile up very similar to when I lost the rear end from third position coming out of turn 4 in N4 Daytona 500 and I took out most of the field. I watched DW cry when his little brother won his first race. Now I'm waiting to hear on the conditions of TS and Big E. It's going to be one hell of a year - both good and bad. -- Philip D'Amato [email hidden] 00 ZX-6R 00 S4

Apologies, I forgot about those that are taping the show. -- Philip D'Amato [email hidden] 00 ZX-6R 00 S4 "Philip D'Amato" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:kVXj6.7944$[email hidden]... > I laughed, I cried, a watched some fantastic racing.

No big deal. The winner of the race seems so unimportant now. I'm happy for Mikey, but this will always be a bittersweet win for him. I know it would have meant so much to him to celebrate the win with Dale Sr. Todd "Philip D'Amato" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:fTYj6.8084$[email hidden]...

I didn't know when I posted this. Waltip and Dale Jr., should've been able to have a celebration today for a 1-2-3 finish of epic proportions. Now, I can't imagine Waltrip even thinking of his first win after so many years with any real level of satisfaction. -- Philip D'Amato [email hidden] 00 ZX-6R 00 S4 "Todd Sorensen" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:2yZj6.104504$[email hidden]... > No big deal.

Probably the saddest, and happiest, day of racing i've ever seen. I was so happy for the Waltrips - you could see and hear how happy Darrel was in the booth. But the words he uttered - "I just hope Dale's alright...". I was never an DE fan, or for that matter a huge NASCAR fan, but I know this is similar to Senna's death back in 94. And with his son finishing second, as well.... too much. But racing is racing, and Waltrip won and won well. It's a shame that this Daytona 500 will be remembered for different reasons. Farewell, Old Ironhead DG

I can't believe it. I didn't even like DE much - but he was a legend. And the circumstances are so wrong... I don't know how to feel. Farewell, #3, you will be missed by all racing fans. DG
