Danica Patrick in 3rd

[xpanda]

WOW!!!

Good for her!

I've never watched a NASCAR event in my life (please don't hate me, General) but have it on in the background today. If she wins this thing (or places high) will she do for NASCAR what Tiger did for golf: bring in a whole new demographic?

Kick some butt, sister!!!!

 

[RobFunk]

I'm rooting for her also.

The IRL sucks anyways. It might help to see a chic win.

If it was Formula - 1, I'd be hopeful she breaks on the first lap.

This is not a Nascar race my friend It's IRL

 

[xpanda]

alright so it's not nascar. I've been duly informed.

I don't watch car racing. There.

Honey, this is not Nascar.

The NASCAR race is later this evening.

Love,
-FISH-

 

[xpanda]

Fish, you of all people understand my limited knowledge of this "sport".

I shall re-phrase:

Does anyone think that if she places well that she will do for AUTO RACING what Tiger did for golf, bring in a whole new demographic???

Better?

Geeeeeeeeeeeees.

Canadian AND a girl. Cut me some slack.

i know EVERY SINGLE BOOK out there has to be praying she doesn't win for there has been a decent chunk of change bet on her to win this race - i think she started out something like +1800 (or even higher) and earlier today i saw her around +1000 and while i realize the line moves on less money than an NFL game - the payout is greater, too, so the chance to get "dinged" is there for the books

they just showed Russel Crowe wearing "Maple Leafs" hat - which has to make XP happy - even though she is probably the only "hoser" who hates hockey - eh

 

[REDEYE]

It sure wouldn't hurt if she wins, Who Knows what it could do for the Sport.

 

[REDEYE]

I got 25/1 last night at Hollywood

 

[REDEYE]

Damn she stalled , that hurts, at least it was under the yellow

I can't watch the race as it is blacked out here. Within a 50 mile radius of Indy. I could have drove less than 10 miles from my house and seen it.

So does that mean that you didn't move to Red Boiling Springs afterall?

 

[REDEYE]

If I lived that close I would be there every year. Some year down the road I will pick you up General in a motorhome and have you join in the fun.

I have not moved, but I have a spot reserved dependant upon the legislation here come July 1st.

Red-eye, that is very cool, but i am not much into the Sun. Skin cancer runs deep in my roots. I am trying to help myself now, so i don't have to deal with it as the generations before me have in their older years. My brother and father are there in a suite though. That would not be to bad, but I have the duties of watching my 3 yr old daughter today. She loves the smilies on here. She can name most of them. She is not sure about this one. :finger: LOLOLOL.

 

[Illini]

General, are you talking about the Indiana laws trying to make internet gambling a felony? Surely it would never come to that. Would it?

 

[OMNIVOROUS FROG]

Next they will have 50 lb. midgets with booster seats.

Best Wishes...OF :howdy:

General, are you talking about the Indiana laws trying to make internet gambling a felony? Surely it would never come to that. Would it?

If by some chance HB 1191 would be approved, then It would be, but I am unsure of the Assembly's schedule to be honest. Here is the digest of it.

Internet gambling. Makes Internet gambling a Class B misdemeanor. Makes committing or promoting professional gambling through the Internet a Class D felony. Requires an interactive computer service to: (1) discontinue its service if notified by a law enforcement agency that the service is being used to promote professional gambling; and (2) block access to a site used to promote professional gambling.

25/1, fun while it lasted
