I'll start it,WHO WILL WIN the race at Las Vagas this weekend? I always have gone with AWESOME BILL. Have sense 1984 and I won't change now. A Fan is a Fan and they won't change no matter what their driver is driving. Bill has done a lot for the T_Bird in those years.

I have always been a fan of Awesome Bill but I have to pull for a Rousch car. I have followed his teams since he was racing in TransAm, running Mustangs.

That and now whoever has one of the earlier cars (myself) that had the fan pump retrofit had Rousch Industries work on the car, so for us there is a direct connection.
 
jodrod, I would love to see Mark win a championship, He deserves one more then anyone. Been pretty close but not there YET. Hope he gets one this year. But I AM a diehard Bill Fan. If you are a NASCAR fan then you know what I mean.

I am a Mark Martin fan also and would love to see him win a Championship. He is going to have to hurry though as his biological clock is ticking. But I am really an NHRA fan. My Dad & I raced profesionally in the late 60's & early 70's. Have several friends that are still in the race game. John Force, Jim Dunn & son Mike Dunn, Don Prudome, Bob Panella, and many more. Hoping John wins his twelfth title this year. The next race he wins will be his 100th. Can you imagine 11 Championships, thats as many as Jeff Gordon & Dale Earnhardt put together.

Lon,

Have you ever been to Big Daddy's museum outside of Ocala, FL? I have some property in north FL and we pass it every time we go up there. I just have not been able to talk the wife into letting me stop, she is not a big race fan. I've had friends who have gone and said you can easily spend a good protion of the day there.
 
BEING AN ARKANSAS NATIVE, WE PULL FOR BILL DAVIS AND WARD, HUT, AND SCOTT. HOPEFULLY THIS WILL BE WARDS YEAR. 02TBIRD
 
Yes Jodrod I was there about 3 years ago. Also have been to the NHRA Museum in Glendora, California. Ironically when you mention Big Daddy, I was at Lions Dragstrip the day Don Garlits had the clutch & flywheel explosion that cut off half of his right foot. It was he who then invented the rear engine dragster after that accident. We were pulling our racecar back down the return strip to the pits when it happened and were only about a 100 feet away. Ugly sight seeing that car cut in half just off the starting line.

Jodrod I got a good laugh after posting the response above. I logged off at 10:45, 11:45AM your time and turned on the TV to the Speed Channel. I about fell out of my chair when standing there was Dennis Gage & Big Daddy Don Garlits in Garlits Museum. Told my wife that no more than 30 seconds ago I answered a post about the Museum. Watched for 15 minutes and then went to Grand daughters birthday party. Stranger things have happened but that was kind of wierd.

Lon-

Remember the movie "Funny Car Summer?" It followed Jim through a season of racing-my uncle wrote the script for the movie.

I don't even try to guess who will win a particular race anymore-with NASCAR changing the rules, or spoiler height, or whatever, between each race now-you can't tell who will win. The last race I watched still has me in shock, when they were just a few laps from finishing, and they had a big one-sheesh!

Lon that Jeff thing would be nice to see. I wonder who he would blame for it?

And what you thought you would never see. Jimmy Spencer accusing another driver for driving too rough. When you move someone up out of the groove Jimmy, you just might get a return love tap.
