Rain Wreaks Havoc

Rain caused qualifying to be rained out at Talladega on Friday. In accordance with NASCAR rules, the starting lineup was set by speeds in the first practice. Here are the top 15 starters for the race:
99, 56, 9, 22, 39, 20, 11, 48, 24, 5, 2, 88, 18, 55, 21

Brent-99, 56, 9, 22=54
Dennis-99, 56, 9, 22=54
Michael-99, 20, 9, 56=52
PT-99, 20, 9, 56=52
Chuck-48, 24, 9, 2=33
Norb-99, 20, 21, 5=32
Neil-48, 20, 9, 29=31
Terry-5, 20, 9, 14=29
Joe-48, 20, 21, 2=24
Toby-88, 20, 21, 2=20
Freddy-2, 20, 42, 15=15
Jim-2, 14, 21, 5=12

Okay we do have some controversy about qualifying. Four of our members took advantage of the rain out by picking the cars that were fastest in the first practice. They picked these cars because they paid attention to the weather forecast and knew that there was a chance that qualifying would be rained out. The practice speeds and the weather forecast are available for all to see. Bill Gates perfected the personal computer and Al Gore invented this thing called the internet. If you have never used it, the internet is amazing. You can find all kinds of information on the internet. For example, you can look up the weather forecast for any city in the world. You can even type in NASCAR practice speeds and several sites will pop up. You can click on these sites and they will tell you NASCAR practice speeds. What's more amazing is that if you don't have access to a computer you can find the info you need on a cell phone. Technology is amazing. Not that I am trying to tell you what to do...okay I am telling you what to do. Do not look for NASCAR info on the NASCAR website. The new NASCAR website is useless. All the info you need about NASCAR racing, practicing, qualifying and news can be found at www.jayskis.com. It is laid out in an easy to use format. That is why I have a link to jayskis on this blog.

After this season we can decide if we want to change the rules and have our members submit their picks before practice instead of after practice. But for now the rules will stay the same.
