its not nascar, bumblebee football

ITS NOT NASCAR
in the us nascar is king but in the world grand prix formula one
racing rules
its like american football then theres world soccer

over 500 million people watched the formula one race
yesterday in austin texas on a cloud free sunny day
the inaugural race here

a total of near 120,000 filled the cirucit of the americus here
to watch the race
a total of 300,000 for the three days

here is a picture that was sent to me after i wrote about
zoom zoom last week

once on the 130 toll with its 85 mph speed limit and the
other on the speed of the formula one cars
some one said that what impressed them was the speed
that these car do in the straightaways

we were given grandstand seats for saturday
price $1000 each
we actually gave them away to two teenage kids who
are friends
what a day those two had there
after the race there there was a concert country western of
course to get people to hang around so that the numbers
leaving the track would not be as heavy

downtown they had a fun fest that was a success
my wife she and her fearless friend went in the mass of people
saturday night
sixth street was packed-if youve been to austin you know that street
what she noticed was there were so many foreign languages spoken
the crowds were not rowdy just a lot of fun
almost polite

the traffic was apparently well controlled
i guess with 500 buses hauling people back and forth that
helped a lot and helicopters

of course in austin some people biked there
they even had special lanes for the bikers
only in austin

now the airport is packed as people from all over the world
return to their countries
with a good impression of this area
heck one of the formula one race drivers decided to buy a
large ranch while he was here he liked it so much

what a great weekend for austin texas as it presented itself to
the world
more people were watching than were watching football yesterday

austin is ready for next year
maybe ill keep that ticket next year

BUMBLEBEE FOOTBALL

how embarrassing is it for those pittsburgh steelers to wear those
dang bumblebee uniforms
looks like they belong in a honey commercial
while some one sings the song buzz bobby buzz bobby

now that they lost last night maybe theyll retire those outfits

dang those cowboys they looked so bad but they won
guess thats what counts
wish they wouldnt mess with their fans like that

thanks baylor for beating kansas state
youve ticked them off for the rest of the season
especially when they play the longhorns

if i could pay to go watch one team this year
if i had a choice
i would go watch the washington redskins just to watch
rg3 do his magic
every time i see him play on tv it makes me sick that
the longhorns missed out on him when they tried to recruit
him as an athlete
im sure he was insulted
he paid texas back though the last two years he played them
yep rg3 is the real deal
lebron and rg3 are the two athletes i would like to see live
(well actually i have seen both live)

real zoom zoom

REAL ZOOM ZOOM
this weekend i was feeling so hot
zooming along with my speedometer set on 85 mph
as the landscape zipped by real fast

then as i got close to the airport i saw the exit to
the circuit of americus racetrack and then saw its
tower and 3.47 mile track
this brought me down to earth to reality

this weekend 120,000 people will be sitting in those
stands watching those formula 1 grandprix cars
zip around that track at up to 220 mph
thats almost three times the speed that i was going
and was feeling real good and real cautious at the
same time

the new 130 highway that allows 85 mph driving has
had a problem with feral hogs running across the
highway at night
heck theyve had all that landscape to themselves
for awhile

i can only imagine what those 220 mph cars could
do to a feral hog
if they save the hogs tail they can turn it in for cash

there will be an estimated 300,000 people dumped
into the austin area this weekend
party city is definitely going on downtown for sure

they have leased 500 buses to haul folks back and forth
heck some people will be hopping on helicopters near
their hotels and skipping all those traffic jams to land
on a special helipad at the race

figure those folks got more money than they know
what to do with

the 20 minute ride to the airport will take its estimated
up to 3 hours to get there

the traffic congestion starts today and intensifies this weekend
if youve been through austin on i35 you know its bad already
at times
this will be the worst of the worst

my wife she and i had elected to stay away from the area
however
i have a meeting today with a ut researcher who is working
on the alzheimers worms
(more on that meeting tomorrow)
think it may be on the perimeter of the streets that will be closed

my wife she and her fearless friend will be going into the eye of
the tiger on saturday to a festival downtown
theyll never learn

ill be on the perimeter north of austin doing my habitat for
humanity thing then later watching college football on the
comfort of my couch at the country n

yes real zoom zoom
wish i could watch it live though
maybe ill glance at it on speed tv during the commercials of
the football game
