California is one. They've got 2 NASCAR races a year here.

I believe Mr. Jolly refers to Southern states of our country, from Texas to Florida.


But NASCAR has indeed globalized a bit since the days of Petty, Pearson, and Allison.

New York too. One of the only decent circuits they race at is Watkins Glen. It's one of those with the revolutionary new shape beloved of race car fans from everywhere outside of America.

Hey, I live just a few miles from the Watkins Glen track. It's right in the heart of the Fingerlakes region. Interesting mix of Nascar and wineries all out in the countryside. It's a fairly red area, at least for NY. You don't have to go too far to get to the blue bastions of Rochester and Buffalo and some of the college towns, though.

I was at the Winston cup race a couple of years back. It was fun, but a little boring. Watch the cars go by, sit for two minutes, watch the cars go by, sit for two minutes, etc... repeat for a couple of hours. I'd guess it's more fun to *drive* on that track than on an oval, but I prefer to *watch* races on ovals or tri-ovals where you can see all the action all the time.

Well, they ran the Pocono 500 here in Pennsylvania last weekend. Judging from the single and two digit numbers I see plastered on vehicles, there must be more than one or two NASCAR fans around these parts.

Phoenix has hosted the Winston Cup series since 1988. I guess we're a NASCAR state, too! :)

I'd rather never, ever, ever, ever, ever have to listen to 'My achy breaky heart' ever again. Ever. I really mean it. Not even a single line.

If that means the use of large scale strategic thermonucleur weaponry and the loss of an entire culture, well, that's a sacrifice I'm prepared for you to make. Goodbye Nashville, 10 thousand wonderful artists wiped out by a single song. The Billy-Ray of Death.

Oh God, just typing the title of THE SONG THAT SHALL NOT BE NAMED has got it started in my head. NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

My 'There's No One Quite Like Grandma' is the musical equivalent of a Royal flush combine with a large lump of dog excrement. Untoucheable.

Don't make me use Sarah Brightman on you.

I'll bring up Sarah Brightman's ex-husband. Only the fact that I'm a moderator stops me from naming him. He makes Marvin's chipmunks look human.

If he doesn't tip you over the edge, it's Ebony and Ivory time.

Surely there has been some provision of the Geneva Convention that has been violated by that post.

paraphrased...

"Who shall moderate the moderators?"

RIGHT !!!

I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night half an hour before I went to bed, drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad and our mother would kill us and dance about on our graves singing Hallelujah!!!

...they race at is Watkins Glen....

Meant to say this in my earlier post...

Country Piano (if any of you have ever heard of the place) is located right near Watkins Glen. So if anybody wants to buy a rebuilt Steinway or M&H and catch a road race afterwards, it's doable. I stopped in there when I was piano shopping a few years ago. It's out in the middle of nowhere -- up in the bluffs overlooking Seneca Lake. It's a really pretty area.

OK, that's pretty frightening, but I could toss Celine Dion back at you. That might hurt.
