For those at work -
Go to www.nascar.com
click on racecast and then the "listen to the radio" button (top right). Can't watch it but at least can listen to the action through MRN.

And it is free for the Twin 150's.

2nd Twin starts soon.

I always take the Thursday afternoon before Daytona off from work.
I call it the "Hillbilly Holiday"
I run home and hit the couch....no employees, no wife, no kids... just me and the tv for a couple hours.....
Didnt work too good last year when I rushed home, plopped on the couch and clicked the remote....to my horror I quickly found it was raining in Daytona!
Got smart this year and checked the radar before I left my office!

On a related note, why the heck cant we have the stock and mod winter nationals on lake floyd (in the infield) in 2010????
If it is big enough for Darrell Waltrip to run a twin viper engine offshore boat on it, why cant we?
There is even a dock coming out from the pit side shore for a clock!!!
Wouldn't that be sweet?

Jeff- I remember someone saying something about the water quality.....Possibly harmful to humans......Well I seen a water ski jump out there, the water quality can't be that bad!

I too think it would be an amazing place to host an event such as "The Winternationals" (or like I call it a double points race in the winter) I would like to think it would be very well attended!

NASCAR or Boatracing Site...................

Who cares about the 500. Go to Speed or ESPN for updates. I would much perfer to read about Ladd's fuel or the new CSH height restriction.

Bring on Ocoee!!!!!!
