Daytona 500 Weekend
I watched a couple of old Daytona 500 races on tape last week and was kinda surprised to see just how poor the graphics and commentary were way back then. Here is what I learned:
Ben Gazzara started the famous 1979 race
In his rookie race Ken Squier mentioned that Dale Earnhardt was not "intimidated" Hmmmm
Squier described the cars' drivers as being "at the keyboards" Again, hmmmmmm, wonder what that meant?
Chris Economacki congratulated David Pearson for winning his second 500 in 1976; Pearson just looked at him funny since it was his first win.
Buddy Baker was incoherent
Here's another Squier quote "Darrell Waltrip is off his game today, running along in second place....."
Well enough of that, went through Rocky Mount making calls Wednesday; noticed there was no monument in front of this building. See if you can figure that one out
Nor the next one either
But there wasn't one here either
Did have one suggestion for the end of humanity song: "We'll Meet Again" See if you can figure that one out while you're at it
Off to MD and PA next week; meetings end at 4:00PM on Friday in Lebanon, PA; are you kidding?
