Good stuff as usual....dangerous beauty? Any odds on how long it take the Mouse House to have The Danicle do a cameo on Desperate Housewives? :gomer:

8th to 15th on the 1st lap? Must be the cold tires...that's barely better than DNFisher. :shakehead

Did this actually happen? And was it a dig on Manning, or what?

the end of the interview, Herta grabs the mic and says "We want to say hi to our friend Darren Manning who is at home ...."

Nope, but the pilot for Deperate Nannies is already into production, co-starring Jude Law.

Yep. Actually happened. I checked the tape. I think they were sincere and it wasn't a dig on Manning. Maybe a dig on Chip, but not Manning.

I heard it too....

Pressdog - I absolutely LOVE your write up of the race. I dont have to watch those drone fests any longer, and can just wait for your blog !!!!

My favorite quote was the one about "Herta's ahead by half a week. Something like 10 seconds".....also "Herta ahead by 11.3 seconds, which is a month by IRL standards"....

Classic stuff, man !!! :thumbup:

And of course, Darren wasn't at home, unless he's suddenly moved to San Jose... ;)
