Title: Big week coming up.
Post by: dartag on February 17, 2013, 04:05:36 PM
With the Bassmaster Classic and  Daytona 500 next weekend.  I may not even go outside.  After she won the pole position today everyone better be ready for Danica 24-7.

You guys cannot even be serious!  I give her odds on crashing maybe but winning...not likely.

Better keep an eye on that 24 car though!

I know it has a huge following. But honestly they could fold in the morning and I don't think much would be missed... I'm not trying to stir the pot but since they went to the car of tomorrow... ( they all look the same..) Who really watches this any more ? I can even think of any persons I know...

She won the pole position yesterday.  The interesting part will be how she gets out of the way when the race starts.

Well you may be interested to know that the C.O.T. is a thing of the past.  Thanks in large to Chevrolet, NASCAR is attempting to put the "stock" back in stock car racing!  The new cars look great!  We'll have to wait and see how they perform.  I will be absolutely amazed if any driver can make it into vicotory lane on Sunday, NOT in a Chevy.  I would put money on the winner of the 500 being from either Hendrick or Stuart-Hass.

I'm happy you enjoy it John. It's just not my thing. What's funny at one time I did like watching a good Bristol race. but not so much after the yodas came in.

Sorry for the hi jack dartag.

I will be supprised if she maintains the lead for the entire lead lap.  My prediction is that Gordon finishes the lead lap in the point positioin and then returns to the point to take the checkered flag.  It will be interesting to see how the new cars draft.

We are going to have a special live link directly into all day action at the Classic on a 72" TV streaming into the GreatLakesBass.com booth at Outdoorama!

(not really, but wouldn't that be cool?!?) We will probably be talking about the Classic. And other fishing topics. Maybe some turkey calling (Got Fish??) and who will be eating the turkey marbles (or whatever they are called) this year?!?

So I know that its tpo early to claim that I told you so,  but not only did Tony win this afternoon, but Danica didn't even finish the race.  LOL

looks like 25 are fishing.  About all  you can do is follow on the blog.  Pretty weak coverage.

Should have started a pole to see how long it takes Danica to get to the back of the field.

Race was boring except the last 20 laps when they started racing.  Followed the blog on the classic.  At least Pace made it close for everyone else.   Now we wait for tv even though we know the results.   My lake was crowded all day with fishermen  must not be race fans.   Didn't see a fish caught all day.

Come on spring
