Updated my site, I should say I just modified it a bit, but need to keep up with it a bit more. You can find it HERE .
Also I have not commented on Last weeks Daytona. I am very happy for J-Mac and that team. It was neat to see the Bass Pro Shops car in Victory lane at Daytona since I am or want to be an outdoors person, hunting, fishing, etc.. And it seems he really enjoyed it a lot. He tweets all the time so that was neat too.
The PotHoles - Yes this made the race rather long, and drawn out. Ruined the race for me, as the breaks just take away from the continuity of the race. Daytona is tough to watch anyways due to the restrictor plates. Not my favorite racing but it is Nascar so I won't complain.
Danica saying yesterday that she sucked was quite funny, but honestly who else has the time she is getting to 'figure out' nascar. Other drivers get one or two races and if they don't produce (and don't have money/sponsorship) they are gone. I guess thats what we get with her, it's nice it will add some fans, but I am already sick of the "Danica" updates. Or "Danica has raced her way to 31st", well if you call racing your way to 31st due to others dropping out then ....
It sux, she took the ride away from Kelly Bires at Daytona. Although I don't think he could have competed with the Gibbs cars he is now one race behind the curve, I would not be surprised to see him have a great year, but maybe we talk about what could have been.......
Getting into electronics and projects these days, been building some kits, and some simple projects. Currently working on a 3x3 LED cube tied to a Arduino. I will post some pictures and commentary as I get closer to the finish. I enjoy it, gets me away from the TV and stimulates my brain...
Enough for now!

Congrats Helio!
What a month for him, about a month ago he could have been wearing a jumpsuit and in jail for Tax Evasion, and today he is the 3 time Indy 500 Champion! Go figure, I am happy for him. It was an exciting race, even though I lost the satellite for about 25 laps or so due to a huge storm that blew through here. OF course I can't complain too much I needed the rain at the house. But back to the race....
Andretti's should just stop trying to win, as Marco was taken out on the first lap, this curse is worse than the Cubs curse. I don't even thing John Andretti beat Milka Duno, who I think caused at least 2 wrecks today.
AJ Foyt - His teams never have the luck, but after his ABC Supply car caught on fire, was doused with water/soap, they fired it back up and he was back on the track. I was amazed, how could it be running? I mean there was LOTS of water. Well anyways a couple laps later he was in a bad wreck, I hope Vitor is OK.
Target Chip Ganassi - You can't win every year even though you have the "Super" team. What is up with that nick name, so they have Dixon who is very good no doubt, but Dario who tried Nascar, which didn't work out well at all, and now comes limping back to Open Wheel cars and takes a ride away from the Second Place finisher. Dan Wheldon, good for him. I also like Dan's car the best, computer cammo for the National Guard. What better sponsor can you have for the Indy 500...
Danica Patrick - Can any blog entry about IRL go with out a Danica mention? I guess not, she did great, finished 4th, so good for her. She ran an uneventful race, which is unusual for her, and didn't get in any trouble. Maybe one day she will have a shot, but not until Helio finishes racing, this guy has a chance to win 5 500's...
Ok just another 600 miles to go, but alas there is rain in Charlotte, bummer.
