  1. I'm referring to championship trophies, not total wins in their careers. Jeff has 4 Cup Championship Trophies, Petty & Earnhardt Sr. have 7 Cup trophies each. Smoke has 2 Cup Championship trophies, and Johnson has 1 Championship trophy, and is the reigning Nextel Cup Champion from the 2006 season. Gordon is 1st in points right now. After this upcoming race, whomever is not in the top 35 in points has no chance to make the "Race For The Chase" that's what it's all about, the "Top Ten." In any event, Gordon is the only active NasCar driver that has a chance to tie the "King" & The "Intimidator," for 7 Cup Championships. If he does win a cup championship, it will be his first Nextel Cup, but his 5th overall championship. The other 4 trophies he has are Winston Cup Series, before the "Greenies" forced the change because they didn't want a cigarette brand associated with NasCar. Ain't that a kick in the head? Nascar's "Freak Factor" is way low. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"
  2. It's a "Hate" thing. No more, no less. If Jeff Gordon is gay (and it wouldn't matter to me one way or another) he sure hangs out with some georgous transvestites. Jeff Gordon is 3rd all time NasCar winner next to The King & The Intimidator. In fact when Jeff first started driving the Nascar circuit he intimitated the intimidator every now and then. He's never let anyone get to him. He even races Jimmie Johnson hard, even though Jimmie's car belongs to him. I've seen him wreck Jimmie just to collect the checkered flag, guess that makes him gay? -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

  5. Full Throttle A Product Of Coca-Cola. Niacin: 40% - B6: 40% - B12: 20% Drink 2 of these with 270 Mg of Phentermine (Prescription) and it's time to "Get Er' Done!" I used to drink Red Bull, but it gave me heart burn so bad, i bought stock in rolaids. J/K - The Full Throttle is the best alternative i've found and i've tried them all. That's the reason they make Fords-N-Chevies!! -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"
  6. You have the right to file a complaint on them if you wish. 9 out of 10 times these complaints are investigated with earnest. I've had several "heart to heart" discussions with them in the past for tossing my bags and leaving them a mess. (SLC) They stopped it straight away when i brought it to their attention. I had the supervisor go with me to the offending officers. That was that. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"
  7. Go Here For Any NasCar Drivers History You will find everything your looking for. 1) Carl Edwards - Rousch - Fenway Racing - Drives The #99 Nextel Cup Car & The #60 Busch Car. Mr "Beginner's Luck" I look for him to break his kneck doing one of his infamous back flips after a win one day. He's nothing more than a big cry baby. 2) Dale Earnhardt Jr. AKA: "Hammer Head" - Drives the # 8 Impala SS Nextel Cup car car for D.E.I. DEI fields 3 Nextel Cup Cars, #8 - #15 & the #1 & One Busch Car, Car #15, Driven By Paul Menard. "Junebug" Formed Jr. Motor Sports with the help of his sister Kelly, He Owns the Monte Carlo SS #88 Busch Car driven By Shane Huffman & sponsored by the Navy. (He Also Owns his own track In Kannapolis, N.C.) He built a replica of the city he grew up in, Kannapolis North Carolina On His Property In Kannopolis N.C. Look for Junebug to splinter off from DEI if Theresa doesn't relent complete control of DEI to him. 3) Denny Hamlin - J.D. Gibbs Racing (JGR Racing, Inc) Coach Of The Washington Redskins. Comes on strong at the first of every year, then fades. He's a great driver, but lacks mentorship which could easily be provided by senior teammate Tony Stewart. 4) Jeff Gordon - Drives the Nextel Cup Impala SS #24 For Rick Hendrick Motorsports & Is The Owner Of The Nextel Cup Impala SS #48 Car Driven By Jimmy Johnson. Jeff has 4 Winston Cup Championship trophies to his credit. He is nick named the "Rainbow Warrior" He, and Dale Sr. were fierce competeters when Jeff hit the Cup Series in November of 1992. (Dale Sr. "Knowed Gordon Up" On More Than One Occasion) Jeff Is The Current Points Leader In The 2007 Nextel Cup Series. Gordon recorded his first Cup victory in the series' longest race, the Coca-Cola 600, in May 1994. Also that year he won the inaugural Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Gordon ended the season with seven top-fives and 14 top-10s to finish eighth in points, beginning a record string of 11 consecutive years of ranking in the top-10 in the final standings. Gordon began a dominating stretch in 1995 by winning his first Cup title. That season he posted seven victories, 17 top-fives, 23 top-10s and eight poles. The next year he recorded the first of his three consecutive double-digit win seasons with 10, finishing second in points. Gordon won back-to-back titles in 1997-98 with 10 and 13 victories, respectively. In '97, at age 25, he became the youngest winner of the Daytona 500. His '98 season included 26 top-fives and 28 top-10s in 33 races. Remember, it took Dale Sr. 20 years to win the Daytona 500. He lost, or as he said "I was the first loser" 19 times. He died on the same race track in 2001. Michael Waltrip won that race, and Dale Jr. collected a 2nd place win, the old man would have finished 3rd had he not crashed. He did not wear the HANS device, but insisted that all of his drivers including Junebug to wear them. He called the HANS device a "Hangsman's Noose" and refused to wear it. As a result of his tragic death, NasCar went back to "Square One" installed soft barriers and the HANS device will be worn like it or not. Gordon won his fourth championship in 2001, beginning a four-year run of finishing in the top five in points. He became the first driver to eclipse $10 million in season earnings in 2001 and holds numerous other records, including all-time money won. 5) Jimmie Johnson - Hendricks Motorsports Team, Drives Jeff Gordon's # 48 Chevrolet Impala SS (They switched from the Monte Carlo SS body Style to the Impala SS for the COT.) Jimmie is a class act. He is the reining Nas Car Nextel Cup Champinion From The 2006 Season. 6) Kasey Kahne - Ray Everham Racing. Drives the # 9 Dodge Charger Nextel Cup Car that Bill Elliot used to drive. He was hand picked by Elliot to succeed him. He will win a title in the future as he is one of Nas Car's most tenacious driver's. Ray Everham was Jeff Gordon's Crew Cheif during Two Of his four Cup Championship Seasons. Jeff has 4 Cups to his credit. Only two other driver's in Nascar History have more: Richard "The King" Petty with 7 Winston Cup Victories, and Dale Earnhardt Sr. With 7 Winston / Nextel Cup Victories To His Credit As Well. 7) Tony Stewart - Drives the # 20 Impala SS Nextel Cup Car Sponsored By Home Depot, Joe Gibbs Racing. he has two Nextel Cup Victories to his credit and he's not done yet by no means. He also owns & Operates his own race track in Indiana. he has his own radio station as well on XM. I love watching his climbing the fence post race victory scherade, it's quite an exibition. He once pulled Bryan Vickers out of his #25 GMAC Cup Car in the garage area post race and slapped him around for about 10 minutes, a stunt which costs Stewart $50,000.00.

  8. Although this incident could qualify for a "bonehead" mistake, the positives outweigh the negatives. This jumper would have been in a bind were it not for someone being there with a razor knife. I think every jump ship should have a razor knife at the exit point that is affixed to the jump craft itself. It should also have a landyard on it (WE call them Spyders in my proffesion) in case it's dropped while in use so it can't get away and can be retrieved simply by pulling it back to the jump craft with the landyard itself. Cudo's to the quick thinking colleague who cut the jumper loose. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

    Bombing Utah?

    That's a trip. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"
  10. Not a prayer. I'll fill out the forms. I can't stand data bases. Invasion of privacy is a "sticky" subject. It is a great concept though. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"
  11. goggles, and altimeter. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"
  12. I'm sure this is going to go over big, but the absolutely worst canopy i ever owned was an Atair (Cobalt) 170^2. It's a sad day when deployment time is the scrariest part of your skydive. I put 35 jumps on it and sent it bck to be inspected, well they inspected it for a year, then offered to do an "H" mod on it, i declined. in the mean time i bought a HeatWave, one of the best canopies i've ever owned. I fly an Icarus now, great canopy! -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"
  13. I just don't have the words. Teach the angels to skydive Hutch. I'll never forget you. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"
  14. Does anyone here know where i can buy a new "CAMERA QUICK SHOE" (Made in Taiwan) This is all it says on the quick shoe, no mfg. name, number nada. Also, i need the screw that holds the Quick shoe to the camera. Any help would be appreciated. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"
  15. Bucking for Greenie status? -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"
  16. Poor doped up drunk fool. Dying like this after her son died the exact same way. Then again no one ever said she was the sharpest knife in the drawer. John, you made the remark that at least now her daughter could have a normal life. How you figure? There are 3 men out there right now who claim to be the father of that child. The estate with the oil exec is unsettled, she's married to Howard Stern (Her Lawyer) who's done nothing but make $$$ of this poor woman since he's known her. If i'm the heat, i'm bringing him downtown and putting him in the "Cat Bird" seat with about 4 phone books to get the truth out of him. Anna, Daniel where ever you are....Be at peace. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"
  17. Get the rope. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"
  18. This is my theory, J.P. combined with the weight of the luggage is that the plane stalled after take off and the inexperienced pilot didn't have the abilities it took to recover from it. I've heard rumors for years that Buddy Holly pulled a gun on the pilot and all kinds of crazy theories and none of them "Pass the smell test" I've seen the actual photos from the crash sight, the entity that published those photos exibited poor taste IMO. Holly's wife was pregnant with their child, which he never got to see as we all know. Does anyone know what happened to his wife and child? -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"
  19. Forever missed, but never forgotten. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"
  20. Would you be offended if you went to, oh say Amsterdamn and they wouldn't accept USD, but insisted on Euros? $$$ $$$, who cares? I think anyone who would let this bother them is quite shallow. I think we need to be concerned about Iran and North Korea, and Wyatt Earp proposing to send 20,000 more troops into Iraq right now instead of freaking pecos. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"
  21. I don't know what size they would be, but more than a mouthfull is a waste! -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"
  22. That's excellent news Bill. Godspeed in your recovery. Get back in the sky as soon as you can! -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"
  23. Hell No! -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"
  24. Buy an extended life battery and an extra battery with a charger. The BT drains a battery quickly. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"
