A womans perspective on NASCAR, Fantasy Racing and the Thread Headed Strangers
|
In days gone by NASCAR was viewed as a man's sport and not one that it would appear the ladies would be interested in.
Today, if you go to any Nextel Cup, Busch Grand National Series or Craftsman Truck Series event, as well as your local
short track, you will find that the fan base now is 50% women. Some of the Ladies of THS would like to share with you
their journey into NASCAR as well as how they got to fantasy racing and then on to "The Best Damn Group on the
Board"
Before I became hooked on Nascar, I was an avid Baseball
Fan..the Atlanta Braves were my favorite team (and they still
are)....what hooked me on baseball was the Braves catcher, Javy
Lopez...hence, one of my screen names "YNOTJAVY" enjoy the
pic ladies......
ON TO NASCAR....got started in the Nascar SCC Fantasy games
a few years ago with the help of one of the guys I worked with. He
was a true Nascar fan. His favorite drivers were Terry Labonte
and Jimmy Johnson. His office was filled, and I mean filled with die
cast cars of his favorite drivers and I was fascinated with those
cars and wanted one bad!!! He told me about the fantasy game,
and suggested I join the work group ( made up of all men..lol) as
he knew how much I enjoyed competition. I had never watched
Nascar, but decided to give it a try. Much to his dismay, the first
year I joined, I won the entire year!!! LOL...I also won the second
year and have every intention of smokin their butts this year!!!
I discovered THS while reading the SCC Board my first year
playing and was intrigued with the wit, humor and sarcasm that the
members of THS presented and knew I wanted to be a part of The
Best Damn Group On The Board!!! And the prize the group
offered was a die cast car!!! OH MY!!!!..this was too good to be
true!! In 2005 I won a car, my dreams had come true!! LOL
Needless to say I was hooked on Nascar, THS and JUNIOR!!!
My skilz weren't quite up to par as the rest of the members of THS
as I spent most of my time chillin in Da Hood (boo hoo)....since it
seemed that Da Hood was likely to become my permanent place of
residence, I applied for the position as DaSecretary and voila, I got
the job!!! The pay is not great, but the benefits can't be matched
anywhere!!!
I really started to get into NASCAR in 1999. I watched the end of a race
with my husband and thought this is exciting. He asked me who I liked. Not
knowing who was who, I said Jeff Gordon. God I’m so ashamed to admit
that. It was only because that’s who all the girls at work liked. Well the
next week I watched all of the race and heard Jeff crying at the end
because someone hit him. I was like, oh heck no. I started watching the
races every week. It became something that me and Tim enjoyed
together. After a few more races I decided my driver was going to be Dale
Jarrett. The man had so much class. He seemed to be someone who was
truly grateful for being able to do what he loves for a living. The man
never takes anything for granted.
When I joined THS in segment 2 of 2002, Tim used to laugh at how I
picked my teams. I used to pick DJ, because he was my favorite, then for
the rest I went by who was the sexiest. That didn't last because those
sexy guys got older. Now I go by stats, who does what at what tracks. I
have since found that a lot has to do with my gut instinct. I don't have my
picks down to a science yet but I will. THS is going to be around for ever,
so I have plenty of time to pick the winning team. Don't I?
I am a Midwesterner and an avid Chicago Bears and Chicago
Cubbies fan which makes things interesting in this New England
household. I have always loved cars, being the only girl with 3
brothers, it’s no wonder why, and I spent many Friday & Saturday
nights at either the dirt tracks or the sprints. Drag strips came
later as did Nascar. I didn’t get into Nascar until I moved to Maine
in 2000. Jeff, aka daBossman, then my boss, now my husband,
got me involved in a race group at work. I knew nothing about it
but wanted to kick his ass and that was my goal. I became quite a
regular on the SCC board asking for help and advice in picking a
team to “kick da boss’s ass”. I believe that is where da Bossman
got his name and his fame. I met a lot of cool people on the SCC
board and in 2003, the Swami ended up asking me (and Boss) if I
wanted to join “The Best Damn Group on the Board”, THS. I won
my first car in 2004 and I chose a Rusty # 2 car since he was the
reason I felt I won and I knew he would be retiring. Jeff Gordon is
really my man. He was the only Nascar driver I had heard of when
I got into the work group and he is cute. The more crap I took for
liking him, the more I liked him. I love Jeffy and I love THS and all
the great friends I have made since 2003. God Bless the US and
THS!! Oh and, Girls Rule, Men Drool
Dear Abby: My husband is a liar and a cheat. He has cheated on me from the beginning, and, when I confront him, he denies everything. What's worse, everyone knows that he cheats on me. It is so humiliating. Also, since he lost his job nine years ago, he hasn't even looked for a new one. All he does all day is smoke cigars, cruise around, and bullshit with his buddies; while I have to work to pay the bills. Since our daughter went away to college he doesn't even pretend to like me. He even hints that I may be a lesbian. What should I do? Signed, Clueless
Dear Clueless: Grow up and dump him. Good grief, woman. You don't need him anymore. You're the United States Secretary of State. Act like one.

Saturday morning I got up early, put on my long johns,
dressed quietly,
made my lunch, grabbed my shotgun and the dog, slipped quietly into the
garage to load the truck, and proceeded to back out into a torrential downpour.
There was snow mixed with the rain, and the wind was blowing 50 mph. I
pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, and discovered that
the weather would be bad throughout the day.
I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and
slipped back into
bed. There I cuddled up to my wife's back, now with a different anticipation,
and whispered, "The weather out there is terrible."
She sleepily replied, "Can you believe my stupid
husband is out hunting
in that shit?

To my darling husband,
Before you return from your overseas trip I just want to let you know about the small accident I had with the pick up truck when I turned into the driveway. Fortunately not too bad and I really didn't get hurt, so please don't worry too much about me.
I was coming home from Wal-Mart, and when I turned into the driveway I accidentally pushed down on the accelerator instead of the brake. The garage door is slightly bent but the pick up fortunately came to a halt when it bumped into your car.
I am really sorry, but I know with your kind-hearted personality you will forgive me. You know how much I love you and care for you my sweetheart. I am enclosing a picture for you.
I cannot wait to hold you in my arms again,
Your loving wife
P.S. Oh, by the way,your girlfriend called while you were gone.

Scooby Doobie
A flat-chested young lady went to Dr. Smith about enlarging her tiny breasts. Dr. Smith advised her, "Every day after your shower rub your chest and say, "Scooby doobie doobies, I want bigger boobies."
She did this faithfully for several months and it worked! She grew terrific D-cup boobs! One morning she was running late, got on the bus and in a panic realized she had forgotten her morning ritual.
Frightened she might lose her lovely boobs if she didn't recite the little rhyme, she stood right there in the middle aisle of the bus closed her eyes and said, "Scooby doobie doobies, I want bigger boobies."
A guy sitting nearby looked at her, "By any chance, are you a patient of Dr. Smith's?"
"Why, yes I am... How did you know?"
He leaned closer, winked and whispered, " Hickory dickory dock..."
