Which Serenity (Firefly) Character   no comments

Posted at 1:25 pm in What I'm Thinking

As long as I was there, taking the Star Trek quiz, I also took the [tag]Serenity[/tag] ([tag]Firefly[/tag]) [tag]quiz[/tag]. Firefly ranks right up there with ST among my favorite TV shows, it’s a shame it never was given time to build an audience and catch on.

So when they came out with the Serenity movie, I knew it was a must see for me. And it is definitely a keeper. I love it every time I watch it.

So, anyways, on to the quiz….

Johnson crew chief ejected for illegal modifications   no comments

Posted at 5:57 pm in What I'm Thinking

From ESPN.com:

[tag]Jimmie Johnson[/tag]’s crew chief was thrown out of the Daytona 500 on Monday for illegal modifications made to Johnson’s car during pole qualifying.

Good for [tag]NASCAR[/tag]. This wasn’t the sort of infraction that might have happened by ‘mistake’, this was a deliberate attempt to cheat by [tag]Chad Knaus[/tag].

You’d think this jerk would learn…

NASCAR acted quickly against the 34-year-old Knaus, possibly because he has been penalized repeatedly for rules infractions.

Knaus was suspended two races and fined $35,000 last year because Johnson’s race-winning car failed to meet the minimum height requirement during post-race inspection at Las Vegas. The team was also docked 25 championship points.

Knaus successfully appealed the suspension, getting it reduced to 90 days of probation, but the fine and points penalty were upheld.

He was also fined more than $30,000 over the 2002 and 2003 season for various violations, including one for cursing on live television.

I know some consider him to be one of the best crew chiefs out there, but this is getting ridiculous; this guy needs to be put out of NASCAR, and for more than just one race. As long as NASCAR keeps allowing him to get by with just a slap on the wrist, he’s going to keep on cheating.

And why shouldn’t he? As long as owners keep paying cheaters, they’ll keep [tag]cheating[/tag].
