The Gatorade DUELS--5mike5

[MatI]

Just realized this is on Speed, not Fox today.

This is a terrible development if Speed are going to try and do this in 2012. Will suck big time for me anyway.

There will be other options. I remember before I got Foxtel i used to watch on a member only website. I will dig it up later today, I am sure they will be back in action if they start taking streams down.

Fox own Speed btw.

Man after my own heart.

What is that screen in the table about?

Umm are you referring to the bar top video poker machine?

[5mike5]

sucks u guys dont get speed channel on that side of the world

[MatI]

sucks u guys dont get speed channel on that side of the world

we do!! I love it!!

[Optional]

Thanks Mat. Might do the subscribe to Speed only via Xbox deal they have. Think it's 20 buck/mth.

Yeah I knew they owned them, but over the last couple of years Speed streams seem to be left alone most of the time, whilst Fox very often played the shut them down as fast as they pop up game.

oh good....i couldnt live without it during the season

Do you have to have the $120/mth package for it Matt? Called them when it was announced last year and they tried to me thats the only way I could get it. And I aint paying that for 1 channel I want. And don't want to encourage Foxtel as well. Destroying any sport they get their hooks into, like A League and NRL.

Yes. You in Vegas?

[5mike5]

edwards doing exactly what i though he was going to do...not even try after a few laps....but i need him pushin the banged up BK car, not the other way around!!

looks like ambrose may get screwed with needing to pit here late

[Optional]

I agree Strenhouse is a great prospect.

Love the paint job on his car today too.

Yeah, sadly it is the $120/mth package. You have to by basic, plus sport. They have a deal they are advertising at the moment for $105 p/month i think it is.

I don't watching anything but the sport channels but I suck it up considering how much I watch. Also good to upgrade to the HD channels. Fox1,2,3, AFL Channel, ESPN, Eurosport, SPEED - Heaven!

Also, Marcos is complaining a lot of being tight. Seems they are little off on setup during the heat of the day. Marcos pitting this lap.

[bswagos]

Reno

[5mike5]

this going to get WILD now...

feel bad for ol' waltrip though, but worth the late caution...LOL

[MatI]

I don't like to see him crash, glad he is ok. But I am glad he won't be in the 500. He doesn't deserve to hog one of those starting spots. And coming up onto the race track like? Amateur...

[bswagos]

wtf mikey

[5mike5]

HUGE break for u 2 aussie fans

[5mike5]

my god that was another HARD wreck

[MatI]

safer barrier on inside saved her ass.

[5mike5]

[5mike5]

[MatI]

What'd I say about jnr? Damn, should have taken that H2H!

[bswagos]

What a bitch move covering her head. Way to be one of the guys Danica

[bswagos]

Well at least Ambrose bailed me out on that race.

[MatI]

I am not a fan of hers at all. But you do that in open wheelers to protect your head, she is still going to have that reflex for a long while.

All that fat in that hotdog or whatever that thing was is messin with your thinking.

[5mike5]

guess ill have to have a little something on a parlay or 2 in the 2nd race too just for entertainment purposes olny of course...

her Open wheel..and makin sure she didnt hold the wheel and break her wrist...

im not a fan at all either, but she isnt as bad as most say she is...i can name several Cup guys shes already better than actually...LOL

[MatI]

I'm thinking of taking Jimmie over KK...

[5mike5]

I'm thinking of taking Jimmie over KK...

im definatley takin a 2 team parlay or 2 for fun....again not risking alot just to win 100 or so i guess

Guess it looks a bit girlie on TV, but the only reason every driver does not do the same is that they are "not good enough" to stay calm enough to make themselves do it in that split second.

It's not just open wheelers, I'm sure everyone who has ever raced anything has been told to release the wheel when they hit.

yes...smartest thing they can do is what she did actually

[MatI]

oh yep, def want to let go of the wheel. No matter what car your in. I think wagos was more complaining about her 'covering' her face...

[Optional]

Yeah that was what looked Girlie. But that must take even more calm and fast reactions to do.

And it's obviously to stop her hands/arms flailing about in a roll, and being cut off, in an open top wreck. Nothing to do with fear or protecting her head.

[5mike5]

heres my 2 H2H parlays for duel #2

rowdy busch over gordon

bowyer over kurt B.

and heres last 1:

lagano over biffle

truex. jr over martin

just for a little fun for race#2...again nothing toooo big just for fun mainly....im loving the way the changes have made the racing so much better

I was always told to cross them over my chest, but everyone has different ways of doing it. I've only rolled once but I remember being really glad I did do it once it was over.

[Optional]

Oh no, all against you here Mike.

Took Gordo over Kyle, Kurt over Bowyer and MattK over Newman.

True, across chest is the normal way I think.
