Ahem...um...er...

Yes. :)

Yes indeed....

Although technically, it's not a Chevy.

It's a Corvette.

Made by GM, but it's not a Chevy.

One Ford in the top ten?? I mean he's in first, but there are two laps
and he is surrounded by the enemy

It's a conspiracy by GM - all their Chevy drivers took out the Ford
drivers.

What's the matter - your Chevy drivers can't keep their cars straight?

Damn - my wife drives better than that.

Yeah, if you want to see racin' like that, you have to go to your
local track on Friday Night, but it's still better than Basketball

I hear ya... growing up, I had two uncles that built and raced dirt
track cars. One was in my home town, and my Dad did most of the
fabricating on his car. While my Dad was (and is) a machinist by
trade, he was also a good bodyman and mechanic. He'll be 82 this
June, and while he's slowed a bit, he's still doing well.

Here's a pic of one of my uncle's car:

He was pretty famous in the area, always placing in the top 3, and
winning most races. Pretty cool... I hadn't thought about him in a
while. He's been dead for about ten years now. Great guy.
