    Morgan (12) played a double header softball game this past weekend. Out of 2 games (like 6 at bats), she hit a 2 RBI triple and 2 Grand Slam Homers for a total of 8 RBI's (10 if you count her). All other at bats were walks and I think she stole those two runs as well.

    Karlie (9) broke her wrist, so still waiting to brag about her game wise, but she still goes to all the practices (runs bases for situational drills) and suits up for each game and cheers her team on from the bench.
    I know how you feel. I never thought it would be so fun to watch your kids play. Jay was a starting nose tackle for a five A school (Georgetown). The head coach told Kathy and I that you can't do what Jay was doing at 165 lbs. but somehow he did it. Watching Jay play football was more fun than watching him race but I would rather be on a team with him than race by myself. Nothing like bragging on your kids. Have I told you about my grandson?

    Even my car had a random misfire come back up last week at idle, after it had already dyno-ed and driven some with zero issues. It was the primary coil->opti wire's insulation itself being slightly cracked. I could hear it arching in the engine bay this time. No clue how that happened. Going through and rechecking every plug wire again to be safe.
    Just give up like me and keep beating on it. I'm waiting for next year's 245hp dyno pull now.

    first non-involved car after a three car accordion wreck on the Beltway driving in the morning. Funny how watching Al and Glenn race can teach you to spot an accident in progress; I had enough room front and back and toward the left shoulder. Woman in front of me, car 3, in a Camry was probably 7 months pregnant. Car 2 was an elderly woman and car 1 seemed to be a pretty nice guy that came back to check on people. Blocked the left lane with the truck and waited on the PoPo.

    Camry's nose folded up pretty good on the driver's side but no airbags deployed.

    Then, almost got rear ended by two cars in the exit ramp off the Beltway coming home, even with the hazards on since the traffic was backed up, though still in the exit only lane.

    Man, CMC racing is safe.

    Did it feel weird to hit another vehicle and not be inside a caged race car sweating your balls off?

    But it is very clear to me that when I am on track with this group I know everybody else is at least paying attention and trying not to hit me.

    Maybe we need to have a cell phone race where eveybody is on a conference call talking trash to each other while we race.

    It could be car-to-car radios and you would have to communicate your intentions. For example.....

    Al - Hey Glenn, I'm going to pass you on the outside going into turn one
    Glenn - OK - If you think you have the balls
    Al - Just watch me do it, then I'm gonna brake check you
    Dave - Hey guys, settle down
    Jerry - Yeah don't wreck Jay's race car
    Al/Glenn - shut up you pansies
    Glenn - Oh no you didn't!!!
    Al - Ha!!!!!!!
    Glenn - eat FU black mo-fo
    Al - Oof!
    Dave - Dammit - you f'ing directors suck
    Jerry - don't wreck Jay's race car
    Al - I got it, I got it, I got it
    Dave - Slide Al slide!!!!!
    Al - running out of talent - shit, grass
    Glenn - you freaking punks, I'm outta here

    I was in the car for this race. I checked up to keep from being involved in the soon to happen Al and Glenn wreck and slammed into David..........then I told him he hit me! Of course David did not even know what corner it happened in so I figure we are even.
