The track officials should learn from that and spray some oil on the track for the last lap again

Only a 10% chance of rain Saturday AND Sunday. Great forecast for both races this weekend!!

5mike5 · 08-09-13, 10:29 AM

I just wanted to update u guys a little cause a few guys have ask me where JayHorne has been the last few weeks. Not gonna say specifics cause I didn't ask him If icould, but I talked to him on the phone (text) early last week and he's just been having to help with a family illness and been occupied with that. Just know some were asking and he should be back soon. He is fine though

I talked to him again today and he still away with same stuff but said he will be back very soon

I read that FoxSports1 is going to cost cable distributors 3 times as much as Speed was. (90c instead of 30c per head)

I wonder if this will mean a lot less people will end up with it in their packages up there?

Included in my Directv package, when they get a deal signed.

Good article here:

Oh lucky, you will need FoxSports 2 as well. If you want to see all practices and RaceHub.

FS2 is replacing the Fuel channel. So it's included too.

Directv just needs to get the deal signed.

Optional · 08-09-13, 02:01 PM

Yay. We are away. Almost.

5mike5 · 08-09-13, 02:01 PM

Ill get it I'm pretty sure. I least pay more for the complete sports package. Hope so anyways

If you ever want to switch to Directv, let me know, I will use the "refer a friend" for you.

5mike5 · 08-09-13, 02:10 PM

Ok I will. Bad thig is Comcast does not carry fuel channel. Hope they will know when it changes. Even though I rarely watch practices still nice to have when I'm bored

Optional · 08-09-13, 02:24 PM

Anyone else watch that Marcos interview?

He sounded pretty sincere when saying the teams who tested here will have an advantage with the loss of track time.

Anyone have a list of those for us? To save me searching.

Also he called Kyle 'one of the greatest talents of our generation'. Big praise.

Plus Race Hub!

5mike5 · 08-09-13, 02:28 PM

Why would Racehub be on that channel? Ur saying fuel will be the new speed channel basically???? If so then I'm pretty sure Comcast will add that channel cause there will be huge demand for it

5mike5 · 08-09-13, 02:29 PM

No list but I think all that means is the same guys that are always great here have the biggest advantage. Which most same ones win all them here anyways so good for us

This is why you wear a fire suit.

5mike5 · 08-09-13, 05:00 PM

I wouldn't bet Kurt Busch here no matter what his odds, much less being the most over valued driver on the board this week ( and gordon) He's terrible here.

onlooker · 08-09-13, 05:19 PM

I know we don't look to much into practice, but Kyle Larson only got 30 minutes at The Glen. He had to get on a flight to get to another track. I would think he would want more track/seat time on a track he hasn't raced yet, especially at The Glen.

Just a heads up to the Larson betting fan club out there.

5mike5 · 08-09-13, 05:44 PM

Good info looker, Larson is probably a no play for me til maybe Bristol. And doubtful afterwards

fukkin pumped to see some real racing start tomorrow. Week has been just dragging by.

Optional · 08-09-13, 09:00 PM

my gut is feeling JPM for some reason.

5mike5 · 08-09-13, 09:24 PM

yeah hes on my radar too, but havent made any bets on JPM as of yet

im hoping his odds get a little bit better for sunday b4 i make final decision on him...

Thats pretty jacked up to say about someone who's had a family emergency. What happened to this forum, it was the only one i would really pay any attention to due to the fact of being chill low key and no drama. Now for three days i have done nothing but read through some spat. Why dont we keep the sh it talk outta here and just get along and get back to winning. Happens everytime a forum starts getting negative and the money starts floating away.
