Hi everyone, the name is Tyson. I am originally from IL, lived in MN for college and now in MT where I am working. I am a young buck at 23. My favorite sport would have to be hockey, but I am an ever growing, ever learning Nascar fan. Favorite hockey player, thats a toss up between Steve Yeserman or Sergi Federov. Favorite Nascar driver, #24 JG, I am also a big fan of HMS in general.

I found the site through Google, while trying to find out what a Wedge in a Race Car was. I am a radio broadcaster, who also dabbles a little bit with the TV side of broadcasting (we have both TV and radio at the station I work at) so I spend a lot of overtime working local sports.

The area I live in has a local summer race series called the "Bump and Run" its done on dirt/mud tracks, and its pretty much an anything goes set of heat races. I would race if I had time, even though I am not to familiar with the sport...or much of a car mechanic...but I do like speed...I guess theres a start!

Be seeing you guys around the forums, nice to make your acquaintance.

Welcome aboard, Tyson, and thanks for joining us! Stevie Y was one of my favorites too. Glad to have you on board!

and it's always great to have another hockey fan on board.
I know it must be so frustrating being a Red Wings fan, what with their long record of losing and never really reaching their potential - but a fan doesn't choose their team - the team chooses the fan.

Yeah Red Wing fans have nothing to celebrate .

Gotta be one of my favourites. I lived in Vancouver for 20 years now that is frustrating as a Canucks fan.

You know I drove cab at Vancouver for a few years and I once had Scotty Bowman and his wife in the car and we had a good talk about New Zealand mainly but he was going to the cruise terminal for an Vancouver to Alaska cruise. It was a celebrity cruise and he was the celebrity......he gave me a crisp $5 US bill for a tip and I sure wish I had got him to sign it.

what a fun story-I have a huge amount of respect for him.
so was the five bucks a good tip?

Coming from Scotty a folded up piece of paper with the words "Don't quit your day job" wrote on it would be a great tip!

Sure on a 20 buck trip....
But the pleasure was just having a great conversation with him and his wife....both very nice people

thinking about a few people I had in the backseat of that cab.....Johnny Depp......Billy Connelly (scottish comedian) ....Buddy Ryan's ex-wife LOL (He was an Eagles coach)...Dominic Hasek .....Sean Young (actress) and LLoyd Bridges (actor)......Had some fun times actually ......strictly an airport cab.....people were always happy on vacation or coming home
