He did not say you had to go over the fence and he did not say how you had to get to the top of the fence. I am sure you could find someone to loan you a cherry picker or a good ladder!!!<BR/><BR/>Peace,<BR/><BR/>Toyota Bill in Hartford.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24366637.post-80572513540854076662007-07-17T21:35:00.000-04:002007-07-17T21:35:00.000-04:00Why did the Observer say "Read about it on his blo...Why did the Observer say "Read about it on his blog at thatsracing.com??<BR/>I couldn't find a thing - and clicked on about everything. <BR/>Came over here to the Observer & bingo - in seconds found the article. <BR/>BTW I thought Stewart was a smartass to make that crack about fat during the TV interview.

Smokey fans sure are a sensitive lot, aren't they? Don't get worked up guys, it's called humor. Laugh and you'll live longer. <BR/><BR/>If I hurt Tony's feelings, then I'll apologize. Should I send a personal note? <BR/><BR/>Maybe he'll get that second win this year like 04 and 03. ;-) I think he's in the handful of strongest challengers for the Cup with Gordon, Johnson and Hamlin IMO.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24366637.post-49994109939653640602007-07-17T16:38:00.000-04:002007-07-17T16:38:00.000-04:00Great Story Dave, Never ever been too a NASCAR Rac...Great Story Dave, Never ever been too a NASCAR Race, nor ever hope too attend one..<BR/>Though I would take Tony up on His bet, and raise it some, I think I could take my one-armed,(I'm a amputee), bad back, bad knee, and make it up the fence..
