Wow! When ND FAN77 actually found the gear shift and shifted out of first gear, he knew where the gas pedal was and used it... Forget 7th through 9th... he moved from the cellar to 4th in one week! This shows all of s that this contest could be won or lost by anyone. It just doesn't matter what place you are in, moving up is very possible.

Has anybody but Boondock Muskies been in 1st place?

 

Nope.. he has led all laps in this race. At the end of the contest, he will be in line for post race inspection. I think he has an illegal restricter plate.

 

Glad to know that.

 

Where my drivers finished this week, I should be in the cellar. It's 10 pm here in Ireland and I have a 4:30 am wake up call. Not waiting up to see...

 

Everyone sucked by their normal standard so I didn't fall. Biggest winner: Sniper 1 up 3 positions. Biggest loser: PJ's Racers down 2 positions.

My A list driver was Jeff Gordon, he was overdue for a win, he was going to win....thanks Jimmy Johnson!!! :evil:

 

I'm Sniper 1. My saving grace this week was that all four of my drivers led a lap. That 40 extra points made up for some bad driving.

We're now 25% of the way through. It's such a looooong season. I've been trying to not use anyone up too early. I've only got Kenseth five more times, and I've used Earnhardt, Burton, and Menard three times each. Everywhere else I'm in really good shape.

 

I continue my fall one more place. The big winner: PJ's Racers up 2 places. The big loser: North Carolina Gators. Boondock Muskies continues his dominance of this contest.

I'm thinking Boondock Muskies has a hot tub time machine and goes to the future to find out the results!

 

I'm thinking that I need to get into a hot tub with your Avatar! :shock:

 

Boondock Muskies was a little bit busy this weekend...here is a picture of the house across the street from his (Pegram, TN outside of Nashville). Fortunately the water crested just before getting to his house. The whole neighborhood was surrounded by water with no power and no way out. Walked his wife and the grandkids out to the interstate through the back fields and her parents picked them up (after finally figuring a way out of their own neighborhood. Then he and his brother-in-law went back to their neighborhood to help their neighbors. Water is going down and they are all back now, cleaning up.

 

Nashville was hit hard. Water crested just above the stage floor of the Grand Ole Opry house. Water covered Briley Parkway that passes by the old Opryland complex. The water us usually down sixty feet below that level. That's a lot of water.

This is from a small creek on the North/South main road in Hermitage, Tennessee, Old Hickory Blvd. I personally know the family that owns the barn shown:

Look at the houses starting around the 30 second mark of this one. This is the main East/West road in Hermitage Tennessee, Lebanon Road.

Thanks for the videos...sure does seem to be a lack of national coverage...read as much about "Frank Sinatra Night" on American Idol this AM as I did about Nashville.

 

A few moves this week... except at the top spot that is. Biggest winner: Stu moves up 2 spots. Biggest loser: Tied by Racer X and PJ's Racers both dropping 3 spots. Congrats to Bill for winning his first week. PJ's Racers and Round Rock Racers are the only teams to have not won a week.

Guys, the pack is tighter than it has been in a long time. This is the last race of the Spring. After this race, we are 1/3 of the way through the season. Second through Seventh is separated by only 69 points. We're not discussing First place right now since First seems to be the only racer on the lead lap and everyone else is racing for second place. That might change in the Summer and Fall.

 

Several people had a better week than #1 this week. On preliminary scan, it looks like nobody did better than Stu's Cat. When the points become final, it appears that he may just jump several positions.

 

... and another issue: Two members had drivers on their team that had already been used 9 times. One of those two actually started one of those drivers. That little number under their picture tells you how many starts that driver has made for your team. You only get to use them 9 times. Corey will get ZERO points for his A list driver this race.

Nobody but you can see this before the changes can no longer be made.
