American Broadcasting Corporation. We have our own ABC, but the 'A' stands for something else!

I haven't got a clue what is going on with regards to form for this nationwide race. I just woke up an hour ago and just blindly took KyBusch & Logano.

The next 30 hours of motorsport is going to be awesome.

alot of drivers didnt want to over run practice laps since its the 600 mile race...no reason to add more miles on the engine that never goes that many miles

plus, these conditions will be nothing like the track temp/ect. for the actual race, so really whats the point of putting more wear and tear on the engine when they must think the set-up is where they want it anyways

even drivers who did run all practices, most didnt run but a few laps in happy hour

Ha... sounds like we both planned the sleeping patterns to catch this lot

Although my damn family has no respect for important racing weekends. Sister demanded I attend a party she organised last night and my Dad insists I go see him for a Sunday lunch today.

I'm still pumping coffee into myself trying to clear the brain after 4.00am alarm.

Marcos only has about 6 or 8 laps on the car so far I think.

Our abc channel is very different to yours though. It is government funded, with a focus on Australian content, news & current affairs, etc. And almost zero commercials. Probably the best channel we have by far.

Good to see you on the same picks, let's get a winner.

5mike5 · 05-26-12, 02:00 PM

lets get it!!

I'd be disowning that sister of yours! She should atleast have let you watch monaco qual!

This weekend is tough on the sleeping patterns. my columbian friends have helped me out with some 'product' for tonight and tomorrow.

5mike5 · 05-26-12, 02:03 PM

5mike5 · 05-26-12, 02:04 PM

Just on Harvick mate.

I am slow to reply as SBR has me on some sort of delay setting. Forum won't load half the time, posts don't send, error message constantly.

I had replied to this earlier but it seems it didn't get posted.

If it stays this way I won't be posting much any more.

*This is the 5th attempt to answer this post!

5mike5 · 05-26-12, 02:20 PM

sounds odd....

i had loading problem a few times over last few weeks as well, but not that much and no error messages...

PM 1 of the head honchos and see if they can help maybe?

anyways, GOODLUCK with happ harvick today...he looks to have a solid car early!

Apparently SBR have a little script that makes the forum unusable for whoever they put on their shit list. Seen others complain about it before.

You keep getting a plain text "Error - try again" message (which is not generated by the forum software). Been going on for 2 or 3 days for me now.

Tracert shows no problem in network route and no one else is having the issue, so it looks like there really is a shit list and I am really on it.

The really ****** up thing about it is the why. I wrote a simple tennis bracket script for Shari to help people put entries in for her complicated tennis comp.

When she told SBR about it, and asked them to send me some points for the effort, they said No, don't use it, and suddenly this shit starts. (it's a plain page with no links or anything else, just a picks entry form)

Maybe someone thought I was up to something. Whoever it was probably can't imagine anyone would do something out of the goodness of their heart without some sort of angle or scam in place.

Anyway, it has taken near an hour to answer a few PMs and post 2 or 3 forum replies... and I don't want to hang around where I am not wanted anyway, so this weekend might be the last you see of me around here. :\
