    You seem to be the one worried about a race. The rest of us are enjoying ourselves.

    Those are liberal tears. :D



    Those are great.



    You could literally hear them in the background "USA! USA!" and "four more years!" Did you actually watch or listen to any of the coverage? The speedway also has big screens, I'd assume they showed Trump as well.

    And yes, scalpers were scalping tickets at the track (above price, the point of scalping.) Do you ever read or hear the actual news? The race and Trump's visit has all been big news and a big deal for central Florida.

    As I said, if you have ever been there, which obviously you haven't, that was probably a thousand people sitting at the start finish line, all that stuff is a TV production, and Stub Hub had tickets beneath a hundred dollars yesterday, $125 today, google it, it is all there

    You can't refute anything I've said, so now you just want to split hairs about how many people were shouting "USA! USA!" and "four more years!" which was clearly audible in the telecast. :roll:

    Oh, and Stub Hub is not the same as folks scalping tickets at the track :roll: If you're trying to argue with me, you're failing miserably, and wasting my time to boot. You seem hung up on the issue of scalpers. I heard it on the radio news. It's not like I was there monitoring it myself, rofl.

    I've been to the track many times by the way. Nice try though. Swing and a miss.....

    Better luck next time :hug:

    President Trump rocked this. It's just a shame the rain caused the race to be postponed until tomorrow.

    When Bush visited and spoke the magic word,the sun was shining, great race.
    First Lady Obama visited, was booed and it was a fantastic race.
    Dotard shoes up and the Gods cried in shame.

    A Hemi is merely a spherical combustion chamber head.That's it.
    In fact Harley motorcycles used that type cylinder head.On older
    models like their Panhead and Shovelhead.
    Newer models go back to that type combustion chamber or
    bathtub design in their aftermarket higher displacement kits.
    Old school design which was good back in the day.But twin
    sparkplug per cycliner is better.Also the sparkplug placement or
    angle.

    Why would anyone buy a ticket from a guy out front when they can do it on their phone at a cheaper price, below market price?

    No, I am not "splitting hairs," as I said, anyone who has ever been there knows only those sitting low at the start finish pay attention to what is occurring at the start finish, and by the way, your man blew it, it is "drivers start your engines," not as he said, "gentlemen start your engines," Freudian slip I'm sure

    In the Dems defense, they do have their own type of motor sports. In Los Angeles, there is a high speed chase weekly!

    My kids love the quads. I prefer 2 wheels myself.

    Nah, we favor mass transit, building additional lanes on highways is futile and F250 Dooleys already don't fit parking spots

    ROFL. You're on a roll 1) trying to split hairs in this thread, and 2) being wrong.

    The "four most famous words in racing" can be either: "gentlemen start your engines" or "drivers start your engines".

    Here, enjoy a video

    Or here, a quote: "There are some phrases that no stock car fan will ever forget, including the customary "Gentlemen, start your engines" at the beginning of every race," https://bleacherreport.com/articles/691527-the-30-best-quotes-in-nascar-history#slide0

    Now, would you like to waste our time splitting hairs about anything else? ROFL.

    Or maybe you'd be happier if Trump had changed it to "ladies, gentlemen, and any other members of the LGBTQWTF family, start your engines"?

    Psst, that's "dually" to the rest of us.

    You're like 0 for 5 now.

    Probably time to move along.

    One has replaced the other, and I've always heard the good ole boys around me refer to it as their Dooley not Dual-ly

    Sorry, but those willing to use buses and trains are declining. Dems do not use mass transit. (Or use turn signals!)

    Sure.:roflol:

    Look at the CAPACITY Crowd!
    Jamming every square millimeter of space in those stands.

    I am surprised that some people were even able to deal with the Vise-Like Crush of Humanity.

    That is the defense you're going with, ROFL? You should probably get back into your electric car and step away from the thread about NASCAR and dually trucks now, this is clearly not your wheelhouse.

    Pro tip: to save you from future similar embarrassment, there is also another similar sounding word ---- "duly". It also does not refer to a truck with dual rear wheels. You're welcome.

    True, we
    How is either anyone's "wheelhouse," one is an over valued race and the other a truck description, and you can't honestly say that you've heard fans of the truck pronounce it "dual-ly"

    Same here. Gas is $4. and taxes/registration fees are high. Mass transit is much cheaper than driving. People are not using it.

    There are certainly folks who are very knowledgeable about NASCAR, DIS, and duallys ---- just because you are not, don't assume it's not anyone's wheelhouse. You are the one who came in here pretending to be a keyboard expert.

    And yes, "dually" is exactly what people call them. I've even owned them myself. Give up.

    Right? ROFL.

    What the hell is there to be "knowledgeable" about the Daytona 500, been to five of them, it is a big race, an event, and that is about it, the rest of the time you are stuck in a depressed Daytona

    And I ain't ever heard anyone emphasis "duel-ly," it has always been dooley
