The FOX broadcast of the Food City 500 earned a reported 5.0
television rating, not exactly a number that will have programming
executives trading high-fives. But that was still up 2 percent from
the same race broadcast a year ago. It was better than the ratings for
the NCAA selection show on CBS, better than the ratings for Tiger
Woods' amazing PGA Tour victory on NBC, and markedly better than the
ratings for the Rockets-Lakers NBA game on ABC. And it continued an
upward trend for television ratings in NASCAR this season.

They have worked very hard over the last decade, looks like they are
going to hold. Hopefully they don't go the way of the NFL and the
Yankees trying to charge more to watch what should be free to the
consumers who have to sit through the commercials.

All it proves to me is that there is no end to the supply of male
American couch potato(e)s who don't have the energy or ability to go
outdoors and do something for themselves.

The only "major sports" I think are more boring to watch than NASCAR are
soccer, Olympic dance, and cockroach racing, something I saw once at a
local fair in NE Florida.

Watching NASCAR is like watching ceiling paint dry. "What color is that
ceiling paint?" "Why, it's...beige."

Harry, I watch racing, and I'll bet I'm ten times more active than
you. I'm in the dojo either training, sparring or teaching a minimum
of five evenings a week. I hike, I jog, I swim almost daily in season.
What does YOUR fat ass do?

People that don't understand the engineering, have never been in a
race car, and don't understand the intricate nature of the cars
usually DO find it boring.

You're an hour late and a dollar short, Jim H. You and your fellow quartet
members are too much in awe of your leader to recognize that this group is
trash and has no hope of ever recovering unless and until you find a
different gig. So convince Harry that the songs you play are so old and
tired that we aren't listening anymore. Time to move on.

Where I grew up, there was a "stadium seating" quarter mile dirt race
track at an amusement park called Savin Rock we used to go to once in a
while on Friday or Saturday nights in the summer, and they'd hold
"theme" races, but I don't recall anything as tacky as what you mentioned!

It was strictly bush league racing, but it was very noisy and very
dusty. At least twice a summer, they'd hold a demo derby. That was the
big crowd pleaser.

It was not the place to go if you were wearing contact lenses. The dust
was just incredible.

Not to destroy this newsgroup by bringing it back to boats, but there
was a boat manufacturer in Agawam that my father dealt with, and I
remember driving up there with him once when I was seven or eight to
look over the factory.

I don't remember anything about the boats or the factory, but I do
remember the place name. I think my dad told me "Indians lived there" in
order to get me to go for the truck ride. :}

Me, are you kidding? Aside from one sarcastic post the other day (with
no foul or phobic language I should add), show me where I made up lies
about posters, used vulgar and disturbing imagery, racist and elitist
insults to attack another poster, call names, make up constant lies,
and post provocative ot posts designed to start fights like you and
the others attacking me here?

I come here with non-provocative OT posts on subjects which several
here are interested in. I rarely get trolled into a fight, and try to
at least add some info on any subject I post to, not just turn it into
an anti-bush, christian, republican, conservative, or any other
personal insult you and others use to hurt others, intentionally. I
don't know where JimH comes off getting on me, I am fun, not mad, and
with his history? Give me a break;)

As for you, I sense that since Chuck came up with his new moderated
site, you are scared to death that if you keep up your crap, everyone
will leave and you will have no one to troll anymore. You antics here
would not last a day in any moderated group.

Me, when I have boating info, I will post it here, where I earn my
keep. In all honesty, I bet not one other OG poster would disagree
with me, that you have personally been the worst instigator of bad
feelings in this group for several years. You have that right,
although I don't know why it seems to bring you so much pleasure, but
that is another post.

I will not address this any further here, suggestion to JimH, plonk
me. I hardly fight back anyway.

The FOX broadcast of the Food City 500 earned a reported 5.0
television rating, not exactly a number that will have programming
executives trading high-fives. But that was still up 2 percent from
the same race broadcast a year ago. It was better than the ratings for
the NCAA selection show on CBS, better than the ratings for Tiger
Woods' amazing PGA Tour victory on NBC, and markedly better than the
ratings for the Rockets-Lakers NBA game on ABC. And it continued an
upward trend for television ratings in NASCAR this season.
They have worked very hard over the last decade, looks like they are
going to hold. Hopefully they don't go the way of the NFL and the
Yankees trying to charge more to watch what should be free to the
consumers who have to sit through the commercials.
Take it to a NASCAR or TV ratings NG.

Me, are you kidding? Aside from one sarcastic post the other day (with
no foul or phobic language I should add), show me where I made up lies
about posters, used vulgar and disturbing imagery, racist and elitist
insults to attack another poster, call names, make up constant lies,
and post provocative ot posts designed to start fights like you and
the others attacking me here?



Today's laugh...thanks.

Everyone will leave?

Almost everyone has left.

I participate in three or four moderated groups and have done so for
several years. The difference there is most of the droolers are kicked off.

Good, take your fat ass there and leave. No one here wants to here
your school girl like insults and third grade name calling. Or your
many, many lies.

Go to the moderated NG's where you don't have to worry about the
droolers. I can see you have made a major contribution to Chuck's
group. Keep up the good work.

Close, Indians did live in Springfield. At least, the motorcycle kind.

Wow! Did you see the red Indian Chief motorcycle?
I almost sent in my $1000.00 deposit but they say they will only take
deposits on bikes built to 'merican standards.
Wonder if Canadian standards will be different?
