how the hell do you NOT make sure your track is properly paved before hosting a major race? |

The Daytona 500 has been stopped now for an hour or so because the track is literally FALLING APART, LOL! You have an entire offseason to prepare for this weekend, and you DON'T notice the hole forming in the middle of the track?? :wtf:

1. It's been in the 50's and raining all week. And they don't know how to deal with |
|
POT HOLES either!
At 200 mph you just can't slap a bunch of asphalt in the hole, pound it in, and expect it to stay!

2. IT'S THE SUPER BOWL OF NASCAR!!!!!!!!!!! |
|
I remember just last week in Miami that HUGE piece of turf missing at the Saints 45 yard line, that caused PEYTON MANNING (all hail) to throw that interception to that mean Tracy Porter, who promptly ran it in for a score.
Man, I hate when that happens.
IT'S BEEN A HOUR AND FUCKING THIRTY MINUTES CAN WE COMMENCE WITH THE RACING PLEASE???????
If they have to cancel the last 78 laps of this race and declare (who is in first place? I can't remember)it would be a travesty.

6. ANOTHER FREAKING POTHOLE! |
|
And to think I almost went to this race. I'm only 40 miles from the track.
If they stop this race again for an extended period of time and I was there? I would either be pissed or too drunk to drive back to Orlando.
I like what Junior said. Just put a orange cone out there and we'll drive around it.

10. Hey. Are you still planning on hiking this year? |
|
I finally got out this weekend for a "walk" in the local business park. Only place I don't have to battle with vehicles.

I did sign up for the Sierra Club's 50K one-day hike in May. This weather has royally screwed up my training, I haven't done any hikes the last couple weeks and I haven't even made it into the gym since last week. i definitely need to get out and back at it soon.

Up the West Side HWY over the Triborough (with toll booths in tact) past Citi Field, back through the Midtown Tunnel and down the FDR drive. A real "road" race. :D
