Thanks for the reminder Colchar! I did that last night! Hopefully, I'll get lucky and my winner will come through this weekend! I am longing for that turn of events, especially after missing the first two races! ;) :wizard: :YMPRAY: :wizard: :YMPRAY: :wizard: :YMPRAY: :wizard: :YMPRAY: :wizard: :YMPRAY: :wizard: :YMPRAY: :wizard: :YMPRAY: :wizard: :YMPRAY: :wizard: :YMPRAY: :wizard: :YMPRAY: :wizard: :YMPRAY: :wizard: :YMPRAY: :wizard: :YMPRAY: :wizard: :YMPRAY: :wizard: :YMPRAY: :wizard: :YMPRAY: :wizard: :YMPRAY: :wizard: :YMPRAY: :wizard: :YMPRAY: :wizard: :YMPRAY: :wizard: :YMPRAY: :wizard: :YMPRAY: :wizard: :YMPRAY: :wizard: :YMPRAY:

I am hoping to do just well enough in the last two spring races to win that portion of our contest. I had done well in the spring last year but Lavabe passed me the final week to win the spring. I am hoping to avoid that this year. My good fortune thus far can't possibly last but winning at least one part of the contest would be cool.

Last spring, I had a bunch of wins; this year, I have ZERO! :-w

Take no prisoners... must catch Ymo and colchar. Tilly has been great to draft with during this year's competition. Are you with me, Tilly? Are we pulling a Jr and zooming along the outside line past these guys? ;)

Hmmm, I think I'll have to do some blocking.

Being up front isn't always the best place to be when people are drafting behind you. But then being behind isn't a great place to be either.

I was just thinking, as I am prone to do from time to time.
And I asked myself," 'K68, wouldn't it be cool if we had a little movie marathon sometime before the end of the NASCAR season? And wouldn't it be cool to pick out three classic movies to watch with those interested?"

So then I thought, other than "Talladega Nights", what two or three other movies would be THE movies to watch?
And the follow-up question is, would anyone be interested in a get-together for a movie marathon near the end of the racing season??

My early favorites for consideration:
1) Fast & The Furious (1)
2) American Graffiti
3) Cannonball Run (1)

Replacements:
A) Grand Prix (1966)
B) Thunderbolt

Honorable Mentions:
"3"
Gone in 60 seconds
Days of Thunder (despite Tom Cruise)
Herbie (the classic one)
Do ya think "Smokey & The Bandit" (1) qualify?

Ask Kevin Harvick how it feels to be behind the lead car. I doubt he'll complain much since he's won two big races because he was behind the lead car.

It ain't over, till it's over.

But has he found a sponsor for next year?
