Congratulations Billy! Nice job (particularly in the final)

Re: Congrats To Billy Pires!!!!
 

Thanks everyone! And a special thanks to Marc Lebrecque and Greg Sutherland for fixing my brothers trailer on the side of the highway! If it weren't for them we would have been stranded all night. Thanks guys.

Are you saying you had lights of .015 .013 .017 .012 .002 and .008 in a row....footbraking?? According to some jokers on this board that kind of spread is impossible unless you were cheating with a 2 step! haha Nice job Billy and Lee

Re: Congrats To Billy Pires!!!!
 

Congrats Billy! Must have been those great pit spots you guys had! Couldn't get much closer to the track!!??

Re: Congrats To Billy Pires!!!!
 

Coingrats Billy.......Way to go !!

Re: Congrats To Billy Pires!!!!
 

Billy-no congrats from me-you beat the driver of my comp car-just because he is a good sport doesn't mean I have to be-good thing you run those ASRA races, because otherwise I'd be really pissed-and damn, the Devils Rays beat the Sox too! Sunday sucked. Just kidding-good job.

And it was also good to see Todd B and Keith O go so far-hardly anyone ever offers congrats to the semi-finalists, but damn, you gotta win more rounds in stock to get to the semis than the damn pros have to to get the wally!

Re: Congrats To Billy Pires!!!!
 

Bp, You should put "Prof Dave's" name in for consideration to appear on "Sox Appeal"
(A Yank having a blind date looking over The "Green Monster")

Re: Congrats To Billy Pires!!!!
 

Greg,

If I could get a date with Tina from NESN, I'd almost be willing to put on a Yankee hat!

Re: Congrats To Billy Pires!!!!
 

Watch out for my Yankees Dave and especially Jaba ! .....While Billy was whipping up on the Stock field at Atco, I was enjoying the sun and some chilled beverages at Yankee Stadium with my son. They won and I can only hope for a rematch between Boston and NY in the coming weeks.......Congratulations Billy on a nice win.......

Re: Congrats To Billy Pires!!!!
 

Congrats Again, Billy! Killer driving all weekend and especially the final! Hope you get that 1st national win in Richmond! See ya at the Dutch!

Re: Congrats To Billy Pires!!!!
 

You can afford tickets AND beverages to a major league game? If you've got that kind of money, would you be interested in sponsoring a comp car? And I wish I could add LOL, but I can't!

Re: Congrats To Billy Pires!!!!
 

No Dave I can't afford it!!! My son bought the tickets........I bought the beer and the transportation. Beer has reached an all time high price in the Bronx. I could get very silly for at least 2 nights at the track for what 2 beers cost at the stadium.....but it was worth it. Like the saying goes......"you can't put a price on a good time". I went to Yankee stadium for the first time......about 50 years ago.....Yoggi got the game winning hit in the 10th if I remember right.....I have also been to the "little league" park in Boston they call it Fenway, I think.....hahah.....I am looking forward to a Yankee-Boston Playoff series hopefully. I have a firend who might be able to come up with playoff tickets....cool....

Re: Congrats To Billy Pires!!!!
 

My first trip to the big ball park in the Bronx was even before that-my grandfather was a Yankee fan-we'd take the train down from CT-usually went to the Sunday doubleheaders-would get the last train back from the 125th St. station. I remember seeing Maris-when he was a rookie playing for the Indians. I went to many Sox games in that little park in Boston while in college This is going to kill the Pires, but back in those days, it cost a buck to get into the bleachers, the seats there weren't reserved, you could get them the night of the game, and beers were .55-thats right 55 cents.

Re: Congrats To Billy Pires!!!!
 

Dave I'll bet all the men were wearing suits and hats in the middle of July !......man are we old! Ballantine beer or maybe Schaefer in cans. I was 10 years old, no beer for me then. Now I head for the Heineken stand but the cost is rediculous, no wait, make that ludicrous.....Lets see .55 cents versus $12...now that's some serious inflation. A box seat was maybe $5. I watched the Yankees play at Shea in the mid '70s when the stadium was being rebuilt. You could sit anywhere you wanted for less than $20.

Re: Congrats To Billy Pires!!!!
 

You must have been on those "Staten Island Steroids" if you think "Fenway" is a "little league park" LOL!

Re: Congrats To Billy Pires!!!!
 

And remember Mel Allen and Red Barber saying "Foul by the length of a White Owl cigar!" I loved listening to Red Barber-he was the best!

Re: Congrats To Billy Pires!!!!
 

Any ball park that has a wall a kid could reach is like a little league park. Players hit line drives off it!!! I have never been to Staten Island ( much) Mel Allen was great......"Hey folks, what a day for a ball game" and I also loved Red Barber......In 1961 the homerun derby between Mantle and Maris was on the front page of every newspaper in the candy store where I hung out.....Newark papers, New York papers........Mickey was way more popular than Maris. Maris was a little odd and Mickey was the total opposite and as outgoing as can be and he had the best swing you'd ever want to see. Reggie came along years later and that also was one great swing. Ok Boston had some great ones.....I liked Carl Yastrzemski and Ted williams was one of the best ever but before my time.........

Re: Congrats To Billy Pires!!!!
 

I don't want to hear criticism of the Monster when you guys had that 296 foot right field line with a fence that a two year old could jump over! Sure the old Stadium had Death Valley out in Center-remember being able to walk out to the monuments after the game was over!

Re: Congrats To Billy Pires!!!!
 

Alright guys I won't make fun of Fenway anymore and Dave you are right about the 296' fence in the Bronx. Left Center was way out there in the old days. A guy hit one last sunday into the black seats in right center and that was a long way. The Mick hit them further than anyone and he hit the facade. The YES network plays some older games and next wek they are going to show the game Reggie hit 3 home runs off 3 different pitchers in a row. I remember watching that one too ay home. Reggie used to do comentary at the SummerNat's. I saw him come thru the gate in a Rolls one year. I wondered who would come to a drag race in a blue Rolls Royce,,,,,,License plate said REGGIE and I saw him park it and head for the tower. We have thoroughly hijacked this thread...but I love baseball, can you tell?

Re: Congrats To Billy Pires!!!!
 

Yes we have and yes i do too! Drag racing and baseball, two very tough sports-you've got to be able to deal with failure in each one if you are going to be the least bit successful!

Re: Congrats To Billy Pires!!!!
 

Looks like the "Little League Park" will be a popular place!
Go Sox

Re: Congrats To Billy Pires!!!!
 

All I need is a Yankees-Boston Series in about a week and a half.....Green Monster-Smonster....A-Rod will poke a hole in it and Jaba will whiff Big Poppie and Mannie and whoever ......hahah

Re: Congrats To Billy Pires!!!!
 

for this to happen, the Red Sox have first got to get by the Angels and the Yankees have got to get by the Indians-Neither one of these is guaranteed!

Re: Congrats To Billy Pires!!!!
 

Beckett did his job tonight!
SHUT-OUT La
Go Sox

BTW Happy Belated 60th Birthday Prof Dave
