Bugs, Blocks and Bananas
I like Bristol. I really do. It takes me back to my boyhood days when I watched the Allisons, Red Farmer and a host of others (yes even DW) at the short track at the Nashville Fairgrounds.
That said, I was a bit worried Bristol would be a smash and crash event this year -- but it was tame. The COT didn't stink up the joint (but that wing! Bring back the Plymouth Superbird, I say) and there was a lot of "racin" actually going on. So, all in all, a bit tamer Bristol (but remember as the song says "The night time is the right time") and some real racin equals a pretty good show for the fans .
Unfortunately for the orangeman, half a race is not enough. The commentators said that Tony could drive a cockroach (and by the end I bet his car felt like one of those little hellions) or a brick to victory if you could put wheels and an engine on either one.
Weird.
So I guess we will have to say that the banana KB requested earlier in the race gave the tigerman the day.
That reminds me -- I'm hungry. Guess some milk and Kellogg's would be a great snack.
See you in Henry County on, gasp, April Fool's Day!
That's the view from here.....
