Finally started to feel good physically but had a hard emotional hit today. I turned 64 (7 days after Bo turned 64) and it hit me that I will never again get a birthday call from my daughter. I'm sure when Father's Day comes around I'll get knocked down again since she was my only child.

That gives me a heart attack just reading it...it would drive me crazy watching it. So nerve wracking. At least he pulled it off, but that's cutting it too close for me.

Howdy folks, I must apologize for being away for a couple of years. Had my hands full with MANY things, including a wedding, some health stuff, plus got really burned out on this project (FAR more difficult than originally thought). Time to get it off the back burner and finished. Hope y'all are doing well and blessed! Ok, let's see where we left off. Major body modifications. Had to take pieces from the two Revell bodies and graft them to the Aoshima to reflect the correct vents, trims and such. Flat windscreen framing on the hardtop was too narrow, so I widened it with an insert of plastic, above and below. I'll worry about the windscreen itself later. The hood was a nightmare, part of the upper section being scratchbuilt.

Chase will win every race for the rest of the season now!

The Duke boys have a lot of X-GIRLFRIENDS

Cale Yarborough had a WHITE '69 Dodge Charger.

Get to feeling better Roger, hopefully the break in rain will help. Took the G8 to the first local cars and coffee meet yesterday. Might also be the last cars and coffee meet this year lol. A lot of idiots showed up acting like idiots, revving their motors, revving competitions, burning rubber leaving the meet, doing drugs etc... So yeah will not be surprised if the rest of the meets are canceled, this is the 4th or 5th parking lot that the organizer has had to ask permission for in the past decade because idiots got them kicked out of the other lots over the years. Was a few very interesting cars that showed up. A Citroen DS3, 60's Lincoln Continental that was lowered 3 inches with stock rims and original hubcaps, 90's Miata with a 90's Ford 5.0 cobra engine, an old Cushman scooter.

You beat me to it, Spike! I am so excited that Chase finally found himself in Victory Lane. He has been getting closer and closer this year. And here we are. I hope that this means that more is to come. Ironic enough, an online NASCAR fan was telling me the other day that I should switch to William Byron since the reason I went with Elliott was because he went to the 24 car first (Jeff Gordon's original number). Have to say it was tempting because Byron is the 24 driver, drives for Hendrick, and has been doing great last year and this year. But being the Cubs fan that I am...am loyal to the end. So Byron will be my second favorite. Sadly I missed his win as I went grocery shopping instead because I was too lazy to go yesterday. Though if I did watch it today, I'd probably have an heart attack up to the white flag! LOL. I am just so excited...must mean it's going to be a great week. LOL. I was never a Denny Hamlin fan either, because he did show aggressive driving even in his first season in NASCAR and it hasn't changed. Then him wrecking Elliott all that he did, carved it in stone. LOL. NASCAR Texas Motor Speedway Race Results, Lineup | Official Site Of NASCAR YAY CHASE ELLIOTT!!! CONGRATULATIONS. Thank you Spike.

Garrett your boy Chase finally put it in victory lane today in Texas . I've never liked Denny, heck his first season he about ran thru Kyle Petty in practice.

I didn't want to start a new thread for this, but I was watching 'The Naked Gun" last night as a sort of tribute to OJ Simpson when I spotted a familiar face. When Frank Drebin goes to visit Nordberg in hospital, the nurse at reception is played by Doris Hess. Doris played Emery Potter's long-time girlfriend/wife Mabel Wooster in "People's Choice".

I hope you guys get to feeling better soon!

Well that sounds pretty bogus. I have Prime so I guess I have five races I can watch. Fox is iffy. SO some of them. Then again, I haven't done the best at watching them this year. But still...

With NBC losing 10 NASCAR cup series races for 2025 they are dropping the final 8 Xfinity races this year and CW will air them instead https://sports.yahoo.com/cw-network-exclusively-broadcast-final-143216337.html The 2025 TV deal will make it harder to watch some of the races. Fox will get the first 14 races the next 5 will only be on Amazon Prime streaming, the other 5 will be on TNT or Max streaming service but only if you subscribe to the premium sports package on Max. The final 14 races will be on NBC.

You definitely would have, they did 3 or 4 gwc's and Chase's team were telling him to shut the engine off as much as possible as they didn't think he'd have enough to get around the track for one more gwc. It ended under caution so he coasted the last half lap.
