The "I Can't Go To Daytona" . . . Thread

[Glory_Freestyle]

I hate being the one who starts this thread, :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: but I figured that misery loves company and we can all wallow in our grief together, so post here if you can't make it to the ride.


I'm officially out. A buddy and I took over the responsibility of running the Pinewood Derby for our sons' Cub Scout troop and the troop leaders scheduled the preliminary activities on the same weekend as the ride . :thumbsdown: :cussing: :crying: :mad1:

I was totally bummed when I found out the schedule and I was really looking forward to riding/hanging out with you guys again. Not sure I'd be schoolin ya on anything, anyway.

BTW, I'm still gonna :nutkick: next time I see you if you don't win the Cherry Buster.

Hell I don't know. From what they told me, the weigh-ins, judging, etc. is the weekend of the ride, then the actual races are the following weekend.

Sometimes, being a good Dad can have it's disadvantages.

why so early? we don't have our pinewood derby until the middle of feb...just talk them into changing the date...tell um something like "the increased barometric pressure in january will make the cars go 5% slower"..let a few dads get wind of that and all of the sudden you will have a ton of amateur weathermen planning for febuary...:biggrin:
