Spike's Bitches 28: For the Safety of Puppies...and Christmas!
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Two types of sports cars. Daytona Prototype which have basically nothing to do with street cars and Grand Touring which are based on street cars. Fenders but nothing like stock cars. The DPs are faster then the GTs and, with sixty cars starting the race, there is passing like craxy.
Um, Speed's Web site should have some explanation and there is a GrandAm (Grand American?) Web site but I don't have any addy for it. I would be linking but I am watching delayed so I don't want to get spoiled.
But go and find the entry list and boggle at the talent.
and CRY. do you want me to CRYANDCRYANDCRY?!?!?
I was thinking more of a drooling reaction than a crying reaction.
It's got all of the drivers I adore smooshed together in the same place. What more could a race fan want?

Good point actually.
sighhhhhh
cable is so durned expensive in this city
Oh Hec...I'm glad Emmett and his day had a rapprochment of sorts. You can tell him that I and my DH are insanely jealous of him for just being able to attend FanFest.
So the day was salvaged and Emmett was happy in the end. But for about two hours this morning it looked like...get up early on an off-weekend for me, drive across to the East Bay, stand in a cold rain for two hours to make my son cry piteously with huge disappointment. Not your ideal weekend.
I am glad Emmett was able to have a good day despite the early dissapointment.
I have to be at my parent's house in six and a half hours. Guess who isn't sleeping. Sigh...
I wish beyond anything that tomorrow wasn't when we were going out to Joshua Tree to scatter grandma's ashes. Because I still feel like hell from both barely sleeping on a couch that never agrees with me last night and mostly this wicked IBS attack.
And while I recognize that I am cranky, bitchy and whiny, I can't seem to stop being any of those things. And my family doesn't deserve it and my grandma really doesn't deserve it.
The only silver lining is that the 24-hour Daytona enduro race is still going and racing is like comfort food to me. However I am bitter because I need to leave at 8:30 and the race ends at 9 so best case scenario I will miss seeing the last half hour.
Which? Whatever. Because I am recording it and I am unlikely to a.) be spoiled and b.) it's not the worst thing if I am spoiled. These races are more about the process than the destination for me.

Can I Marcie myself?
