Picks/BudweiserDuels/ThursdayAfternoon
Part of it was I forgot just how high on the board I was aiming.... part of it was that I made a last minute adjustment to my sight vs. practice and only shot twice with the adjustment. I always have a tendency to shoot high with rifles and low with pistols.
But for the record... I will assure that I did NOT want Danica!
Maybe for the 500 I should just put a bunch of people all over the board, with the ones I want at the centermost, and then fire the rifle? Or I might just pick the 500 with my head....
I'm not going to get home in time from school to see Duel 1 live. I might be late on the points. You better bet I'm coming home ASAP today! School doesn't really release until about 2:45 though.

Here's to hoping all the drivers stay safe and don't go into Lake Lloyd today. With all the safety equipment today, you might never get out... but Tiger Tom Pistone probably just grabbed a knife, cut the rope he probably tied himself in with, and flashbacked to his days ofb eing a 5 year old boy and swam to safety.
This is from the 1960 100 Mile qualifying race. The car is a '59 Thunderchicken

Second, I'm going to go ahead and post my picks properly.
Duel 1:
1) Danica Patrick
2) Trevor Bayne
3) Tony Stewart
Duel 2:
1) Jeff Gordon
2) Clint Bowyer
3) Kyle Busch
Also, has anyone seen or heard from Brent lately?

Looks like the one you posted! minus the CV Window and I think we have a match! Check the A pillar.. as well as the front bumper lines....
The teams were known to modify the cars a little bit... I believe itw as actually a '59 Thunderbird in the 1960 race though.
And I can't figure out if you were telling me that was a good shot or a bad shot in the video.
I'm thinking about target plinking to do my Daytona 500 picks... depends on if some clear favorites emerge in the duel races.
Do you want me to pick them with my head, pick them with the Springfield pistol, or pick them with a rifle from long range? Maybe put more circles and people on the board this time?
Listening to the online stream right now.... got my school issued laptop and planning my test for tomorrow,, my Monday lesson, and grading student work as we speak!

I'm thinking maybe instead of having the targets so spread out, pack them really tihgtly together and have them predominantly in the center.... then just let three shots go at the center of the target, should be nearly guaranteed to strike something.
I did some handgun training. The guy had me adjust my stance and grip and I started doing pretty good. He even had me doing moving and shooting exercises by the end fo the two hours.

I think i will find something else to do during the race....
Maybe i will polish my barstool racer!
Instead.
