Track Night Wrap Up!

I was not there, so I don’t have any first hand info, but it sounds like it was Eat Shit Thursday at the track last night.

The Old Man of the Track hurt his shoulder, Super-Rookie is all sore and bruised, other are missing decent amounts of the largest organ of the human body. Sorry to hear it. It appears Baby Smithers picked a good night to keep her dad at home.

It’s too bad that crashing happens, but I am already tired of hearing comments about the track being unsafe. It’s not unsafe, it’s very safe. But when people make mistakes things go wrong. I tell you that it’s a lot less likely that a crash will happen on the track when someone screws up versus a screw up on the road.

I don’t expect that the events of last night will keep any of the regulars away. Those of you that are considering the track should not be dissuaded from giving it a try. I have been racing on the track since 1998 and I have only gone down once in all that time.

How many times have I crashed on the road since 1998? I don’t even want to think about it.

iPhone

Step up suckers, today is the day!
I was watching Fox News this morning (don’t ask) and they had a reporter live at an Apple store in Manhattan interviewing someone who had a pre-release iPhone. (not to be confused with a manual release iPhone which is the version YOU can buy)
This individual had been using the ‘phone’ for a month and was on the scene to give us all the downlow on how cool his phone was (and naturally by extension, how cool he was to have one)
As he was being interviewed, going into great detail to explain the functions of the miracle device, some dude off the street came up, grabbed the reporters microphone and ran off. So ended the interview.
So how lame is your phone when someone would rather steal a run of the mill microphone instead of the Jesus-phone?
That’s a har-dee-har-har one for me.
So anyway, go get your iPhone today that runs off the slow version of the AT&T network, won’t sync to your Exchange server, won’t run your MS files, is way too big and had a douche factor of 11. At least you’ll have all your Bare Naked Ladies tunes on hand…until the OS crashes.
Har-dee-har-har!
