I can't wait!! I'm leaving this thursday out of toronto and heading down to richmond, VA for a weekend of racing and beer drinking!! I'm driving down out of Toronto, my company had no problem setting me up with the time off out here instead of my home town, (we do have a terminal out this way). Passing through Erie, PA to pick up a friend of mine and then down south. The only down side to it all is i've been runnuing really short miles with lots of border crossings for the last week. PA, NY, OH and MI is where i've been running for the last 5 days now. I'll take some pics from the race, but then i'll have to figure out how to upload them onto this site. I don't have internet access at home anymore, since it was a total waste of money for me to keep it connected and be on the road all the time.

If anyone else is going to the race, or will be in Richmond next weekend, send me a PM and we can try and hook up for a cold one at the track

Friend asked if I wanted to go, sitting in Turn 4. Haven't decided yet, looks like it will be another snoozer race. The Busch race will prolly be the best of the weekend, the best for Cup was when Mayfield won to put himself into the Chase, the others have been boring. Not sure I want to pony up $90 when I can sit in my easy chair at home and watch plus not deal with the 110K vehicles trying to get out after the race. Hope you plan on camping Yanke, that way you have no traffic to deal with. Take your own beer and lots of it, don't want to suffer the price gouging of buying it inside the track. Last time I was there, 2 years ago, a single can of Coors was going for $8.

Coors? They ought to charge $.01 cents for that

Dang, just read that Rudd won't be racing this weekend and that his career may have come to an end 11 races too soon. The "Ironman" made his 900th career start Sunday night, 2nd only to Richard Petty's 1100+ and has never missed a start while active. Suffered a separated shoulder and was knocked out in a wreck with about 50 to go. The "Red Rooster" was quoted as, "I'm out at Richmond but will still be at the track to help out when I can." Kenny Wallace will race the car until further notice and may be racing this car next year until Yates finds a hot young talent that is ready for the seat, see Stephen Leicht.

Yes I plan on bringing all my beer with me. Gonna hit the duty free store before i cross the border so i can at least have one case of real beer! LOL!! After that is gone i guess i will have to drink Miller Lite for the rest of the weekend. I went to the september race in Dover, DE 2 years ago...and the price of beer is still stuck in my head! 6 bucks for a 12oz can of bud. No thanks, there is no way I will pay that much for a brew. I think our tickets are in turn 3 if I remember correctly. Weather looks great for the weekend sunny and in the upper 80's. it's shaping up to be a great holiday!

Ever hear of the word Facitious? :P
You quit coming through here or what? I've got something for you plus I'm waiting on my Malt Vinegar :P

I don't know, thats the way this biz is i guess Yoop. I haven't seen another load that will take me across the U.P. since that time we went for breakfast. With my luck I wont get another load through there until winter, when i get to deal with bambi and lake effect snow!

Don't worry... i still got your vinegar in my truck.

Hope you got use for a gallon of it!!! :P

yoopr · #9 09-06-2007, 04:03 PM

"Gallon"? :P
Entire U.P couldn't use all that in a Year
Wish I could go to Richmond.
Don't give any of that Strong Canadian beer to any of the Locals there(Cept the girls of course) cuz they couldn't handle it :P

Gosh naggit, they are calling for 90's on Saturday and a big cool off during the night. Going to drive the teams crazy during the race when the sun goes down. Calling for it to be in the 50's Saturday night. Think I may wear a long sleeve shirt since it looks like I've been wrangled into going. Sitting somewhere in 3 and 4, 25 rows up. Hope they get it in before that Tropical system sitting off the VA, NC coast decides to head our way. Saying it might be here Sunday but the weather people ain't too sure what it's going to do.
