With the 50th running of Daytona upon us, I thought I'd post a special "five questions" thread about our individual Daytona experiences. Before you answer, please post your age, so we'll have a point of reference as to how long you've followed the race: Age: 1) What year is your all-time favorite race? 2) What is your all-time favorite single memory (not necessarily from question#1) of the Daytona 500? 3) Who was (is?) your all-time favorite NASCAR driver? 4) What was your all-time favorite car (maybe one particular driver's car during one particular race)? [NOTE: Try posting a photo of that car by doing a Google "image" search by going to Google, typing in the year and car number, and click images at the top of the window; you guys all know how to right-click on properties, copy and paste the jpeg url, right?] 5) Did JL ever make a casting of your all-time favorite car? 6) What is your favorite JL NASCAR casting? (Here is a link to Stock Car Legends at Wyatt's site http://www.jlcollector.com/sclr1.html ) 7) Have you ever been to Daytona International Speedway (to see the race, or during a different part of the year?)? 8) What are your favorite memories if you answered "yes"? 9) What single past or present Daytona car would you most like JL to release (whether they actually have a casting for it currently or not)? 10) Who do you predict will win this year's 500? |

Age: 18 1) What year is your all-time favorite race? Don't really ahve one...never followed it too much. I'll try to watch it tomorrow though. 2) What is your all-time favorite single memory (not necessarily from question#1) of the Daytona 500? I don't have a favorite, but I sure do have a least favorite: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ngu95gKL_1s&feature=related Explanation below. 3) Who was (is?) your all-time favorite NASCAR driver? Mark Martin 4) What was your all-time favorite car (maybe one particular driver's car during one particular race)? One of these: http://www.ovaltrack.com/martin/Cars/1998_...line_taurus.htm http://www.ovaltrack.com/martin/Cars/1998_..._one_taurus.htm http://www.ovaltrack.com/martin/Cars/1994_...thunderbird.htm ![]() Can't choose which! 5) Did JL ever make a casting of your all-time favorite car? Not as far as I know. 6) What is your favorite JL NASCAR casting? I didn't even know they made any 7) Have you ever been to Daytona International Speedway (to see the race, or during a different part of the year?)? Yes. My family was on vacation in the area and we took a tour. It was pretty neat, I don't remember when it was though. 8) What are your favorite memories if you answered "yes"? I don't remember it too well 9) What single past or present Daytona car would you most like JL to release (whether they actually have a casting for it currently or not)? I don't keep track of them well enough...for shame, I know 10) Who do you predict will win this year's 500? I honestly have no clue, but it will probably be a stupid Chevrolet

Eh, I was bored
Seriously though, I like that sort of thing. And I haven't payed attention to NASCAR in a couple of years, maybe I'll try to pick it up again. But if it's all the sausage fest it was when I dropped it, well... And WTH is with Tony Stewart driving a Toyota? Now I really hate the guy!!

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!

I gave up on NASCAR after the travesty that was "The Chase" in 2004. NASCAR wasn't broken, but they "fixed" it. Now it's nice and broken. And I haven't watched a race in years. I have no plans to ever again. All of my favorite drivers are retired or should have retired years ago and saved their dignity. And I can't stand any of these Young Guns so what's the point anyway? Besides, banger racing makes NASCAR look like a Sunday drive anyway!

Don't be bashing the Bowties young man! After all they are God's gift to the Automotive world! Try bangering a couple of them, thats permissible
