The bean counters had it worked to the penny. They bought us used rentals once. Tauri 'n Luminas. They'd be quick to tell ya how much mileage they got out of them.  They'd compare the costs of repairs 'n maintenance to the savin's o'er the new costs of cars appropriate for the use. What we couldn't get thru their 'dollars 'n lack of  'cents'' heads was we didn't have cars when they were stuck in the garage for repairs. Most the mechanics at the garage were semi-competent at best 'n they'd keep a car three days for a two hour repair.

The Luminas developed the habit of lockin' in o'erdrive. Imagine, if ta will, stickin' a manual in fourth gear 'n tryin' to drive around town without usin' the clutch. That's what it was like. The one I was assigned did it. I was amazed at how quickly the city garage was gettin' 'em fixed 'n back to us. Stopped at the garage one afternoon ta thank my pard, the foreman, for the fast turn around.

He was always straight up with me. They weren't fixin' 'em. All they was doin' was unpluggin' the wire that told the transmission ta go inta overdrive. Problem solved.

Reckon it was all good. Between us 'n Vice 'n Narcotics, if we'd ever had all that were assigned to us there at the same time we wouldn't have had the spaces to park 'em all at the POC.

Where did you get all of those tiny life preservers?  Those turkeys can drown in a rain storm when they look up and swallow the rain water.

Those Toyota's look fast, especially the 11, 20. and 96.  Jr's neww car looks fast also.  The Fords are in trouble.

They do that. Curious ta see how the other Camrys do Thursday. Things are so tight missin' the first race really puts ya in a hole. Read where Gibbs sent his shock specialist, rumored to be as good as they come, to the other Camry teams to help with their setups. Wonder how anxious he's gonna be to do that startin' with practice next week.

Take heart me Port o Pony crew, the ice has melted enough for or schooner with 16 guns to take to the Bay and stop those scalliwag rum and cigar illegal importers.

We even got a new fangled boat with an engine to catch them in port.

Glad they worked out the bugs of them combustion engines, i have seen a boat or two blow up due to heat and overpressures.

Lets go get'em boys!!

It was good to see Jr in the winner's circle last night. It looks like it will be the Hendrick Chevys againsy the Toyotas of Joe Gibbs in the 500.   The Fords are done.

Blaney was lookin' pretty racey 'til he ran outtah dancin' partners. I can understand that, no one wants to go with a Bill Davis car. Don't blame 'em.

The 5 flunked post race inspection. Too low. NASCAR is tryin' ta figure out what they did to it or if it's damage.

Drafting is going to be important in the race as well as finding the right drafting partner.  I'm going to record the Duals on Thursday, so I can watch them when I get home.  The Camry's are going to run up front, I am picking Blaney to be a dark horse.

18 is still hanging in there.  The Roush cars have moved up into the Top 10.  Hamlin has damage on one of his quarter panels which is not going to help him in a draft. Right now it's a crap shoot.

Reckon we'll find out in a couple hours. NWS is sayin it's qut. The website NASCAR uses sez it ain't. Last post on the racin' board by someone that lives nearby said the suns tryin' to peek thru. Garagecams are soaked, ya can't tell from them.

Raceday just started. Ya'd think they'd cover the weather first but they're runnin' their mouths. Folks in the background ain't luggin' 'round umbrellas.......
