[Tony]

So did all the TF drivers meet at the starting line wearing black t-shirts and then do some fake pushing and shoving like the drivers on Street Outlaws?

 

[ANDY]

noticed 90 min. callout race re-aired again last nite, followed by re-air of race. started watching race, and about 30 min. into race, the 90 min. callout deal started again.
there seems to be concerted effort to give pep boys as much tv time as possible for the race that fell 3 runs short of completion on saturday. ....... i kinda' feel sorry for doug kalitta.
he's doesn't really fit the character mold for this 'call-out' style event........what's his side bet? if i win, i'll fly you home.....if i lose and you win, no chance i'll fly you home.

the pro stock bike class tried a trash talking ploy, years ago, and it came off looking like a bunch of kindergarteners, trying to pull off a Shakespeare play !!

No matter what, it’s always going to look as contrived as it is. So don’t overdo it. What may be just as interesting, try the same thing with random pairings each round. Watch them go nuts when the two fastest cars wind up paired first round.
