Smile Be gentle, I'm new

I have no clue what I'm doing but it all looks like too much fun to lurk any longer. I'm a huge race fan, a total fanatic to the point of almost landing dear hubby and I in divorce court. My dad raced a zillion years ago back in the '50's, and his claim to fame is that Gordon John#### actually spoke to him once. He said "Frank, the idea is to cross the finish line on your wheels, not your roof". Ok, so dad maybe wasn't the best driver. But I grew up watching the Indy 500 and Daytona glued to the TV like there was no tomorrow, and once a year we climed on top of our cars to watch the Labor Day race at the Syracuse fairgrounds. Now, I plan my whole life during the summer around Saturday nights at Oswego Speedway watching the Supermodifieds and Small Block Supers, thus the near treck to divorce court. We make an annual trip to Pocono Raceway in June and hope the weather is never as crappy as it was last year. Is this too much information? Probably. Just stop reading when you get bored.

Re: Be gentle, I'm new

Space Cadet ??? I've been accused of being one now and then. More importantly welcome to GTG Sports Forums. I lurk in the NASCAR Forum most of the time, although last night I was in a Super Bowl chat forum cheering on the eventual winners.

Now back to the important news. The NASCAR FOrum is the most popular forum on this site and no doubt the most popular NASCAR Forum on the internet. You'll find a lot of young and old fans so you'll also find a wide variety of opinions. We always welcome more opinions ... right or wrong !!!

Stop by and check us out and be sure to jump into the Daytona 500 predictions thread. If you can guess the 1st and 2nd place drivers there is a major prize waiting for you. Hope to see you in the NASACAR Forum soon.

Re: Be gentle, I'm new

I would think so.

That is by far one of the most honest and most compact introductions that I've read, SpaceCadet. I often linger around the forums and post some weird nonsense, but your stuff is straight to the point. I like it!

Unfortunately, I'm not a big racing fan. However, I do admire and honor their driving skills after I sat through a two-hour lecture regarding turns and stuff like that.

Welcome to the GoTeamsGo Fan Forum, SpaceCadet.

Re: Be gentle, I'm new

Welcome to GoTeamsGo Space Cadet! Glad to have you! Oswego isnt too far away from me I go to school in Potsdam at Clarkson University, its a drive but I visit friends at Oswego State from time to time. I am sure you will fit right in to our excellent group of Nascar fans. Enjoy the site and have fun with it!
