You Might Be A NASCAR Redneck If. . . . . .

You think the last four words of the National Anthem are "Gentleman start your engines!".... It isn't?? And next you're probably going to tell me that they don't always end it with a fighter jet fly-over

You think heaven looks a lot like Daytona Beach, Florida.... ::yes::

You've ever written Richard Petty's name on a presidential ballot.... Not Petty, Earnhardt's

You're not actually able to read The Richard Petty Story, but you sure do like to look at the pictures.... I CAN read, but recommend "DRIVER 8" as a much better book

You have the word NASCAR in your wedding vows.... Does Renew vows count??? How about having Elvis do the ceremony??

You go to a stock car race and don't need a program.... $10...waste of money.....

You have a lifesize cutout of Dale Earnhardt in your Living Room.... Earnhart, Jr.,Rusty & Gordon (but that one is used as a dart board)....and it's the racing room.....

You know who is actually leading the Winston Cup series.... d'uh....better point would be "you actually understand the points system

Your favorite NASCAR souvenir was a direct result of a crash in turn three.... Turn 4 and it was Dega ::yes::

You spell out NASCAR in Christmas lights....that's just silly...no NASCAR in December...but you CAN mow your driver's number into your lawn on race weekend ::yes::

You can remember the entire NASCAR series schedule but can't remember your wifes birthday, kids birthday, or anniversary.... AJ's birthday is one week before the NH race, and we can celebrate our anniversary at the Atlanta race, and my birthday at Pocono race.....WHAT?????

You can remember every NASCAR driver and their car number but can't remember how old your children are....this only applies to men............

You think the most effective form of advertising is on the side of a car going 200 mph.....round and round and round.... Ever heard the phrase "product sensitive???"

The word "Bank" makes you think of turn three at Daytona....2.5-mile paved tri-oval super speedway;
31 degree banking in the turns;
3 degree banked backstretch;
18 degree banking in tri-oval
frontstretch chutes 1,900 feet to and from tri-oval;
backstretch length is 3,000 feet.


Your wife's nickname is "Lugnut".... careful.....

You've spent more time on the top of a Winnebago than in one....you can't SEE anything from INSIDE!!

You know the "Back way" to Talledega....No, but Neil has driven my volvo AROUND the Talledega track.....long story......

You can change a tire faster than you can change a diaper....yeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhNO


You make engine noises while watching racing on TV....not if you have surround sound!!!









damn....i'm doomed....
:)
 
Steph - LOL at your comments! I like NASCAR, but enjoyed it much more when Dale Sr. was racing:( .

Have to agree with CS on this one. May as well go out and stand on the side of I95 for entertainment.

Steph, I think you are a real woman and have nothing but ever growing respect for you.

Admittedly, I am not a true NASCAR fan, but probably more into it than anyone else in this group with the exception of you, if only because it is a cultural thing.

Or it was....

Back when it was still a Southern' thang and the Alabama Gang reigned on the tracks and drivers still came up from dirt tracks. Now that it is so popular nation-wide it loses part of the appeal. Of course so do so many rules...can we debate restrictor plates? :p

I have only been to Talladega once, but my brother goes each year. One year y'all should come down I-85 through Montgomery instead of going through B'ham and let's grab a bite before you go to the track!

For the record, my brother has two display cases in his living room that contain scale cars for E and e from all the series. Of course, he has several matchbox sized Winners' Circle one's too, but the displays are quite impressive.

Yes, there is at least one inflatable Dale, Jr. car and helment in the home (from beer displays at local stores) and a cutout of Jr. in one of the bedrooms.

My bro lives on a dirt road in a lovely home which I am proud to say is blocked up underneath, has a porch attached, and yes, does have a satellite dish in the back.

What of it?

Yeah that would make for some good wedding pictures.....

I am not a fan of NASCAR but I do know that one of the races is in Dover. That is about an hour from me and we know not to go anywhere near there on race weekend. So, if any of you come to the Dover race, maybe we can meet up somewhere.
 
Finally.....someone who can appreciate my finer qualities......



Alan~my dear~I can't debate the whole "plate" issues with you...you see...I have no issues with restrictor plates :)

I'll have to take some pictures of the "racing pit" for y'all......including my collection of die cast cars....which I "could" sell to pay for a good chunk of my next WDW vaca.


Neil came home today with some *sad* news. The yearly "guys" race trip seems to be off.......Good news is he's gonna take me to another race this year. Trying to figure out how we can go to Daytona for July 3...and a quick trip to WDD of course.....and then get home to take the boys to scout camp on the 4th :confused:

guess that's not happening...


I need Dan Murphy to show up over here offer some of his own support of NASCAR.





Lou~ nice pics....now I'm going in search of my Elvis wedding pics...I'll be back.....

oh and Carol, if we can't make Daytona (and I highly doubt we will) we're gonna shoot for Dover....so it's not out of the question to meet up!!!!!
 
Not much into NASCAR myself, but to each his own. The world would be a boring place if we all liked the same things, I guess.

We have a Scout fundraising dinner tonight along with the Pack's Pinewood Derby. Then we have a Court of Honor. It makes for a long evening. I'm getting ready to pull out some needlework to keep my hands busy during the meeting. I think I'll pack a blanket and a book for Amy. That way if her throat is still hurting she can find a quiet place to rest.

WOW Melissa...you're gonna need a "scout break" after all that.
We have our PWD this weekend. Next weekend is the Klondike for the boy scouts, and the B & G for the cubs. How many boys in your pack? Our PWD takes about 4 hours....each boy races 6 times.
 
Wow, you'd think with a day off that I would have more time to myself. I did get errands done that I mean to do on hte weekend that I don't. I guess taking a day off has it's merrits.

Just got back from taking Gwenie to the vet. She's now all pathetic and unhappy that she had to get her shot :( ;)

Not much into Nascar here. No real reason why... I do like watching most car races, but I guess I just don't follow any.

Off to ride my bike and then maybe give this knitting thing another go ;)

Have a good evening all :)
 
Hiya :wave:

Will I incur the 'Wrath of Steph' (TM) if I admit I'm not even sure _what_ NASCAR is?! LOL.... Is it like Formula One racing? Well, whatever, to each their own and I'm with Lars - Hockey any day!!

Today we got sent home early from work (2.30pm ish) as there was a massive powercut in the building and we were in darkness/no computers from 12.15! That was pretty good :teeth:

Now it is a blizzard of snow outside and we have weather warnings so perhaps tomorrow we will not even be able to get to work! LOL... If we dont' you can be sure I will be popping up on here in between further packing, and I will actually be able to attend the riddle :)

Well, take care all,
Gaspode

I believe your right ;)
And I thought I was careful in my explanation of actually having to wash and dry my clothes. Im guessing there is no way to say we are going to do laundry without the rest of us thinking we are 'doing laundry'

Elaine, you should come sit with Sarah and me while we knit. I can help you both. We could start a craft circle and anyone can come and be crafty.

We are having sleet and freezing rain now. It sounds really weird outside as the rain is hissing as it hits the snow. It is very loud and eery sounding.

I am not sure we will have school tomorrow. Too much of this and I am going to gain weight. Seems like I have to bake and cook when I am home all day with the kids.

Going to watch Gilmore Girls later. Trying to finish reading The Da Vinci Code as it is due back at the library today. Sarah read it then said I should. (I don't mind paying a few days overdue.) It is quite interesting and had a whole page of Biblical references in Disney characters. Have any of you read it?
 
Melissa, Nascar is similar to Formula One racing but different types of cars are used. These look more like "street" cars (but obviously not, or I'd be racing more on the street ;)). Oh and I am for hockey too!! Love it!!!

Carol, that sounds like it would be a lot of fun!! I honestly just haven't had a chance to sit down with it again. Just been busy or like now I have a cat in the way. I hoped to have done it this weekend but somehow my plans were all messed up. Stay safe in that weather though, doesn't sound pleasant at all!
 
Hi everyone! Another busy day...no surprises there.

Carol - can you renew library books by phone? We can here and it's saved me a lot in fines!

We're waiting for the snow and it may not be as bad as they first predicted. Since both Lew & I have to go to work tomorrow that would be appreciated.

No time for a proper catchup as Mr. Weather must do his official analysis of the upcoming storm. Kids & I are going to watch AI.

Have a nice night. :D
