Now maybe we can talk about Robby instead of JV all the time. :)

Oh yeah. :) Robby is one of my favorite subjects. I'm cool with JV but I think I'm in love with Pat Carpentier. ;)

Welcome to the Stockcar department. We have wine, beer and whiskey over there on the table, help yourself to some crisps or a sausage-on-a-stick! there is chairs at the back but they are for sitting on, with have soap boxes down the front here for the shouty bits. Up stairs is the NASCAR fantasy championship. But you can't take your drinks in there because StuiE has just laid the carpet and he doesn't like a mess. If you do get drunk and need to stay the night you can kip in Knowlesys' bed. But you must be nice to him, and remember, if he says no, no means no! ok?

Don't say that Sparky, muggle will get cross if you profess love for one of the new single seater refugees. ;)

Robby Grodon eh - a driver I have both loved and hated, feelings that often change on a weekly basis. Hell of a driver, does an admirable job of moving his team on but christ I wish he used his brain in all of his races! :rotate:

That's Robby. You love him. You hate him. Sometimes you do both at the same time. He makes things interesting for sure.

Muggles is a pussycat. Anyway he can't scare me. I'm a mom and nothing scares me. :laugh:

Thanks for the warm welcomes.

Just cause I don't live on top of a mountain where they get all the winter blizzards and summer only lasts a couple months doesn't really mean I'm a pusscat.

Does Pocono mean anything!!!!

Actually it does.

POCONO

From the Indian word "Pocohanne" translated means "A stream between mountains."

Mmmm....Pocahontas.

If you went to Pocono looking for Pocahontas I think you'd get a suprise.

Robby Gordon, thats the fellow who drives the rally raids, not much cop in cup though at the moment?

....oh man, gotta tell nicky there ain't no donuts in h-...What's that? He already came looking? Oh. Umm...well, good thing he didn't make an awkward situation about it! He did. Ah. I see......

Look, I got like 50 different paintschemes to make for the upcoming Fantasy comp and I gotta plan when I'm going to use up all my driver swaps to drive StuiE mad, so if you'll excuse me...

*grabs some sausages and makes his way out*

Oh, and sorry about the carpet Stu. :rofl:

Welcome SpeedRacer5!;)

I think there may be more than 1 or 2 newbies on the forum recently. How about telling us a little about yourself, favorite drivers, etc.

OK. I'm a forever Dale Earnhardt fan. My favorite drivers are Steve Park, Robby Gordon, Smoke, Ron Hornaday Jr and Brendan Gaughan. I'll be cheering for Joey Logano when he makes his debut.

I live in the Pocono Mountains of NE PA with my hubby (the Jeff Gordon fan) and one old cat. My son and daughter are both adults. I have two granddaughters, two 3 year-old great-granddaughters and one 1 year-old great-grandson.

I'm a NASCAR fan but I am learning more about off-road racing because of Robby.

We need more newbies!

So all you lurkers out there sign up intime for the Daytona rush, with the awsome Daytona 500 thread...which degenerates into 1 page pocono threads and 4 page JJ bashes...

It's all good!

Better than a cookie. IIRC.

100 posts was a long time ago...

Better yet, you will then have access to Parc Ferme where everyone has fun in a friendly way.

"Parc Ferme is the "non-motorsport" area of Tenths where users go to hang out and chat about anything apart from motorsport".

"This area is only accessible to members of good standing who have more than 100 posts".

Hi to all, I love NASCAR watched it on NASN during a freeview weekend a couple of years ago and got hooked, I think it was the 4th july race weekend on the last Winston Cup sponsership(spelling??). If I remember, Matt Kenseth won the first Nextel Cup the following year???

My most favourite person was Benny Parsons, I'd love his commentary, he sounded so friendly and enthusiastic but I think all the NASCAR people do a good job, even that Chris Meyers taking the mick out of Dr Dick Bergen.

Anyway, just thought I'd say hello...
Stick around, the season is just getting under way and shoul;d be a wingdinger this year. Pick yourself a few favorite drivers and hold on for a heck of a season.

btw, many of us liked Benny Parsons and miss him. I was in North Wilkesboro a couple times recently where he lived. They named a portion of the highway after him. another section of the same highway is named after Junior Johnson, another of the real Nascar legends.
