  Kalin, drop the lunacy. Please. Well, all I can say is Race, Interrupted. I will deal with Daytona, however, later on. I had one of those maddeningly bizarre debates with myself, wondering what makes a good blog entry. Is it the humor? The subject matter? The person behind the letters? The language used in the entries, no matter how colorful?
Well, I wish I knew, as it seems I can do nothing else but talk about myself as of late. In the early months of the blog, I was pretty wild, commenting about North Korea, complaining about Sathya, railing on Hagan, and other stuff. And it worked for a while for me, it ruffled feathersthen I took it too far in November, and so the throttle on the stuff lifted.
What resulted is the boring, verbose lunatic typing right now. Hell, there are five registered members on this thing, but only two of them have posted recently. The other three have a combined handful of posts, the last of which was during the hit tracker blowup. And here we go again, complaining about people. Thats me for me. Funny, how quickly Columbia disappeared from the front page, most likely replaced by something about some war in some country very few of us really care about. Oh, so we get a ton of our oil from them? Hmmdidnt know that. You mean to tell me that this country actually dared to defy the world? Wow. How come the US hasnt done anything about it? You tell me. Maybe its the fact that the rest of the world, save the American pet bitch, Great Britain, and that other country supporting America, Spain, wants little to do with a war.
A war the Americans cannot justify, unless its with hackneyed evidence of past offenses. I dont know why I just said all that, but I did. I find it almost funny, TCS. The brain trust of the newspaper goes down with a grounding and the whole newspaper grinds to a halt. Everywhere I hear people griping about having cartoons and articles being put on (indefinite? ) hold. I myself am bored with not having anything to do with the website. Its really no surprise to me, seeing it that all TCS e-mail goes to one email address, controlled by one person, with a layout coordinated by one person. (Yes, theres an emphasis on the number one) So, when that one person is pulled from the equation, TCS becomes a headless ogre in search of eyes. On a similar note, I planned to do some advice stuff for TCS, but the uncertain status of the newspaper has placed those plans on Line Fourteen.
Im waitingOf course, theres always the rejects from last week. I know some of us werent exactly impressed, but (riminy if I didnt tag a test on them. Only a couple of times in my memory can I recall having a big event cut so drastically short by rain, and this one is by far the easier to remember. Just 272.5 miles (yes, I did the math) into the 500, the race was permanently halted. I think we fans, as a collective whole, were pretty shortchanged by the decision, although it was the only thing NASCAR could have done, according to the rulebook. But damn, this is DaytonaLots of teams and drivers were screwed by the decision, my RCR guys included.
Most of the teams were out there biding their time in the draft, waiting for the end before making a move. I was impressed with the drive of the RCR guys. Kevin and Robby worked together in the draft on numerous occasions, although never always to ultimate success. Jeff was hung out to dry on the first lap and never really was a factor, unfortunately. But hey, Robby and Kevin start the season in the top ten in points.
Mikey really didn't deserve that win, and there he was, celebrating like he'd earned it or something. I still think he's kind of cool, but that was really uncalled for, as half the field was still gunning for him. And Newman's flip was nothing short of spectacular. The whole back end of the car flew out, thanks to the opening on one of the walls, and the car just flew .
