Robby Gordon needs that silly-@$$ Joker-like grin to be b-slapped off his face.<br /><br />Gonger, I'd say move the Glen to Sonoma's date, then flip-flop Sonoma and Kansas so Sonoma gets a Chase date. If you run WG in mid-late October, you risk the chance of snow. If you run Sonoma in mid-October, it's in NoCal's dry season and there is very little likelihood of a rainout.jon_464https://www.blogger.com/profile/11134872784295839356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611740933107502897.post-38931827518881117832009-08-12T15:44:03.706-07:002009-08-12T15:44:03.706-07:00Gonger....That is a brilliant idea!

Pocono & The Glen are too big/long for lights. I still think one road course should be in the chase, so move Watkins Glen to a chase date and replace a track with lights?<br /><br /><br />Cheers2YouForensic2 bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10765737305542945874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611740933107502897.post-85751841157883165362009-08-11T15:54:09.454-07:002009-08-11T15:54:09.454-07:00Considering the big ones at that same corner two y...Considering the big ones at that same corner two years in a row, NASCAR should get the track to put in better barriers on that part of the track as well as take out the grass..

Maybe if NASCAR would drop the 2nd Pocono race, move Dover's May race to the spot, and move The Glen to the vacated Dover May date. Now this is where my plan is brilliant; give the vacated Glen date to Rockingham. Ta dah!!! Problem solved!
