PJ ...Help me Understand Please! (1 Viewer)

[jpee]

OK I just watched qualifing... and so far in 1.5 hr they used word COUNTDOWN approximately 67 times by everyone from Paul, and Mike Dunn to Ashley Force...

PJ This means the word "Countdown "MUST" be a very important thing! on average this word was mentioned app every 90 sec. Whewwww ...

Just so I won't be left out of "drag racing related topics, I am going to practice using the C word in my daily conversations... or in my posts..

In fact I managed to get in already here at home.. I asked my wife for a "Beer" and told her to "hurry up. its like a "COUNTDOWN"

She THREW a can of Bud at me and said "Get the next one yourself" What this tells me is... Never use the word "COUNTDOWN" at home! From here on I'll refer to it as the "C" word !

After my wife calmed down I called her and said "Hey I'm listening them talk about C's on TV" She told me to take the Porn show off... I told her C is not a 4 letter word... Some days it just don't pay to get out of bed!

LOL, most women seem to get pretty violent over the "C" word. I have mine on the finger snap. She knows how many snaps means what.

PJ, what is the vBookie odds that these two guys have wives who don't use the computer?

Jim I can GUAR-UN-TEE you have 1 right, mine never turns it on... & I won't show her where the button is

Texas girls don't need no stinkin computer to cause damage to an inattentive mate.
Well to qualify that a little it also applies to mates who do crass things like demand things or use hand [ or finger ] signals demanding something done in countdown mode.

A 16 inch Cast Iron frying pan costs less and is more effective.
I'm already suffering from countdown itis.

Tommy Johnson Jr. said it best when he said it's like the end of the season 3/4 of the way through it.
I just wish more teams could afford to race a full schedule.
Like NASCARs western venues we have just enough for a quorum .
Ihra sometimes doesn't, NHRA getting close.

LMAO! It's obviously the "Glendora Gang's" strategy to convince "C" naysayers into liking it if they're beaten over the head with it often enough.

Let's make it In-ter-vest- ing.... you get in on a provisional, you get only Pass points, ie, you're a DNQ... and the cats that you bumped, get the qualifying points... afterall, THEY Qualified, you didn't....

 

[Joe Wingate]

I think that's a great idea...someone like Tim Wilkerson who made the run to qualify should at least get some points for actually qualifying before he gets bumped out into the rain...

I keep boucing between wanting to vomit and giving a pity laugh every time they try to cram the countdown down our throats. Now I understand that they need to promote it and such but there is a point of it being overkill.

It kinda of reminds me of the mean, ugly, crazy girl back in school that the guys ignored. She startsed dressing slutier and slutier trying, begging even for anyone to pay attention to her but nobody ever did. NHRA it doesn't matter how you dress it up or how many times you try to mention the "C" word it is still the mean, ugly, crazy system that people don't want. In fact ask yourselves this, if this was such a great system would you have to press and try so over the top hard to present it.

I love when they ask the drivers about it and so many of them tiptoe around the answer. Next time through the pits when there are fewer ears and no cameras around ask them how they really feel.

Hey, there IS a bright side. Now I don't look so bad when trying to explain bracket racing to someone!

I got so freak'in sick of hearing about the point ad the "countdown" that I turned my sound off.

Come on guys I think it's a little over"dunn".

which is almost as rough as trying to explan cic, most the time I'm not even sure what it is

Good point.

One comment that really made me run for the can was "it'll make Indy bigger."
Give me a break.

When I snap my fingers, my wife stops whatever she was going to do for me. The C word does not work either.

It's been a long, brutal day and when Jacko gets home from work, he plops himself down and says to his missus: "Beryl, could you get me a beer before it starts?"

Slightly quizzical, Beryl gets him the beer, and watches him drain it before he asks again: "I think I've still got time for just one more before it starts. Would you mind, do you reckon?"

Muttering under her breath, the missus nevertheless gets Jacko the beer and once again watches as he knocks it back. Wiping the froth from his chin, he says: "Geez that was good. What chance am I for just one more before it starts?"

This time Beryl is ready for him and launches: "I've had a gutful, Jacko. You've done bloody nothing since you got home but sit on your fat a*s and order me around, while I've done nothing but run around after you, and if you think that...." At this point, Jacko sags back in the chair, puts his hands to his temples, and says: "Oh no, it's started."
