And Betty's not being ditzy today. They did mention 'dega earlier, saying things looked much better for tomorrow's race, they just put up a level 9 warning for parts of Alabama.<br /><br />When they started giving storms an identity (like 'Northeast nightmare' or whatever), I knew we were in trouble.

I tune in for weather, not movies and I really hate waking up with Al Roker. All of this extraneous stuff goes along with my complaints about the race coverage. Just show me the race, weather, history (for what used to be the history channel), Speed and I'm a lot happier.<br /><br />For all of you in the area expected to be in the tornado or bad weather zone, I'm wishing you all the luck and be safe. Tornados, campers and RVs are a bad mix.<br /><br />I think they shut Dover down a few years ago for part of the race weekend because of a hurricane. Not much high ground in Delaware!GinaV24https://www.blogger.com/profile/10828669350024430018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-63202065267246076582010-04-23T23:02:20.995-04:002010-04-23T23:02:20.995-04:00I have a solution.

Why not have a doubleheader on Sunday with the Sprint Cup race at noon (ET)/9:00 AM(PT) and then have the Nationwide race at 5:00PM (ET)/ 2:00PM (PT)?

While you never know how hard a hurricane will hit until it hits land with tornadoes they're very unpredictable. It can go down a street and leave one side untouched and the other looking like match sticks.

Happy for young Dakota.<br /><br />Anon 6:07....did you really think a piece produced for the Hall of Fame opening was going to be critical? I'm not saying it's right, I get your point, but I just wouldn't have expected it to be anything but respectful because of the occasion.
