Not Tony Stewart On The Teacups

Someone was joking on In the Pits the other day about Tony Stewart riding the Teacups at Disney. Can't help you there but how about Jeff Gordon and family on Aladdin?

Cup In NYC

I think I saw Greg Biffle doing the robot in one of these pictures!

Thanks to Guest of a Guest for the heads up.

Guess Who's Back. Back Again. Bill Is Back. Call A Friend

World's greatest picture of myself and my good friend and co-host John Williams. The weird thing is that in real life he looks worse and I look better!

Do You Know What Is Overrated? The Internet. I Am Going To Get All My Information From A Week Old Newspaper

I think the internet seems like a fad. I may let my website be suspended and do all my business on paper.

What do you think? Does that seem like a good idea?

Seems like all those newspapers out there are doing great and the internet is struggling.

Wow.

Forgive me for not posting, I was waiting until people stopped commenting on the last post.

But that apparently will never happen.

Another season in the books. The rainiest I have ever experienced. Really weird weather and even weirder to me was folks' reaction to the weather.

I am going to Loudon tomorrow. Wait! I can't! It may rain! Batten down the hatches! Hide the children! It would be irresponsible to go out in it! It will burn your skin from your bones!

In talking to promoters from across New England, that has been the reaction of many fans this year. Hopefully, we can get out of this cycle and move on to some normal weather.

Thanks for a great season. Hope to see you all in the spring.

PS: I did not forget that I asked for suggestions. I will wade through them all and post after I dry out!

2009

Alright, here we go.

I figured I would open up a little forum on what you would like to see in 2009 at Oxford Plains Speedway.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Economy? What Economy?

149.

One hundred and forty nine cars raced tonight at Oxford Plains Speedway and put on one hell of a show.

Usually, Beech Ridge's Thursday Thunder season is over by now and we get some "invaders" for our late season racing. However, this year the Ridge extended its season. Amazingly, we still had 149 competitors for the last race of the year.

Great job to all the drivers and crews. Thanks to all the fans.

2009 looks to be another action packed season in the Acceleration Division.

See you at the Showdown.

Obama Should Post On MaineRacing.com

With facts like these, he would be a hit!

Pure genius. When I retire, I hope to get to all 57 states.

Radio God

In addition to the morning gig on Friday on 96.3 Sports Radio WJAB, I will also be hosting the PM Jab with John Williams at 3 pm.

And then quickly heading to OPS for a little mayhem. Motor Mayhem that is.

Catch Chris Johnston from Speedway 660 pumping his Pro Stock 250 at 9:05 am.

The afternoon will certainly have a little racing flair, but I bet Pats and Sox will rule the day.

The Big Jab Needs More Power

As you know if you read this blog frequently, John Williams and I do a racing show called "In the Pits" every Friday morning on Sports Radio WJAB.

Well, good news for those of you outside of the Portland/L/A markets. The Big Jab, and our show, is moving to 96.3 FM a 100,000 watt signal. As of next Friday, we should be heard clearly from Portsmouth to Bangor. Even over in Conway, NH. It is great news as race fans from all over Maine will now get to hear us every week.

By the way, John and I will be hosting the PM Jab next Friday from 3 pm to 6:25. I am sure we will talk a little racing, but expect to hear thorough discussions of everything Sox and Pats.
