LIVE from Palm Beach Nitro Jam

"FIRST!"

Can you believe it? The off-season is gone, and we're back to racing this weekend.

From the producers of the 1998 smash hit "Billy and the Poor Boys Summer Tour", we present The Adventures of Duckboy and The Legend. (Kinda like Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man if it were made for Nickelodeon). IHRA's Skooter Peaco shook his head and claimed, "Michael Beard and Chip Johnson in the same truck... All I can think of is Thelma and Louise.". The intrepid duo looked at each other and stated, "Blues Brothers!"

Legend Log, Stardate, uh... I don't know what no stardate is. Duckboy pulled in about seven. I figger I can carry a golf cart in the trailer. His kiddie car shouldn't be a problem. We'll just put it up in the gooseneck.

So I roll into the Legend's shop about seven, throw some more stuff from the truck into the back of the spacious Turismo, give the battery a little boost on the 30deg morning, and pull it off the trailer. We picked it up and put it in the trailer sideways, on top of the golf cart, since Chip wanted to put his Camaro's door up in the goose. He loaded up the world champ Camaro, Tim Davis joined the party, and we hit the road. Next stop: Palm Beach!

Cool....I'd much rather read about your exploits than to listen to all the other mid winter whinning CRAP posted on here.

And it snowed another 1/2 foot or more here last night.....BORING!!!!!!!!!

Between you and Chip there should at least one winner over the weekend...

I'm with Rich, you go Duck Boy! How about some pics of everybody in shorts and t-shirts....with the sun out....standing beside a nice race car of course! Can you scratch and sniff on this thing....how about some tire smoke and racing gas....how about some sound bites....turn it up....8500+....stick shifts going thru the gears...

Do not walk around with bare ankles down near the far end..

Do not go in any canals or think about taking a dip in any ponds....

Do not leave any food laying around either...

Michael Beard · 01-27-2011, 03:05 PM

Between the three of us, we've won about 30 benchraces already...

Just crossed into Florida. We'd been wondering aloud about stopping or not at Ag stations... 1st one's closed for construction, so mebbe we'll find out later.

BTW, I've never seen so many police on I-95... From NC all the way to FL, including many unmarked black Chargers. Just behave, if you're coming down!

Talked to Piatek, who's loaded up and should get there several hours before us.

Michael, you stay away from Ortiz! Period!

I'm still trying to get my head around "we picked it up and put it in the trailer
sideways, on top of the golf cart". I know your Turismo is a light car BUT??

I'm with you Phil, SOME kind of explanation needs to come from that southbound group. If the Turismo is sideways, wouldn't they need a "WIDE LOAD" placard front & rear & a flashing yellow light?
