Congragulations to David Gilliland for winning the NASCAR Grand National Division, West Series race at Infineon yesterday (aka Blue Lizard 200).


To be honest the biggest challange for Gilliland was to not run into the back of the pace truck. The race had its moments, but was somewhat marred by the number of laps under caution, particularly when there didn't seem to be that many incidents. Gilliland took first place from PJ Jones followed by Boris Said who also put in good performances.

Special mention should go to Jason Bowles in the 22 car that had one of those days where everything was going wrong. Also Carlos Contreras in the 12 car. Although neither Rick or Eric finished in the top 10, it was not for lack of trying. Both these drivers made the race exciting making several excellent passing moves in front of us on turn 7, like the one pictured below.

EastBayRag wishes Juan Pablo Montoya and the Texaco/Havoline Team all the best in tomorrow's Nextel Cup race at Infineon Raceway. After a disappointing 32nd on qualifying, JP took to the tracks today for the final practice to try and get a little more out of the car. Although the performance was better, it's going to be a long race on Sunday and there's a lot of ground to be made up. A couple of photos from this afternoon's final practice. First, JP heading into turn 4


And then next rouding turn 7

Couple of key things to note, first, these are both right turns (as this is one of the track races of the NASCAR series). Second, the clockwise direction (which would lead to more righ turns if you think about it). Anyway, with JP's experience on track circuit's a lot is hoped for this weekend, so go for it ...

.... Leisure Suit Larry?? What a brilliant game that was.

Why does this come to mind you ask? Well, over on the Graffiti Wall "somebody" stuck up something that simply says "Ken Sent Me." Made no sense to me, so I asked what it was. Apparently this was some graffiti that was written on the bathroom wall of the first LSL game. How's that for a random memory.
