Hey! I mentioned that I was reviewing the 2008 Dega video while waiting for the Coke 600 rain delay's to end. Well...not only did I burn a DVD of the tape in it's entirety, but I also burned a couple clips to YouTube so you can check them out. Here is the Friday Night video and here is the Saturday Night video.
I'll be the first to admit that the video footage needs some work. We didn't take nearly enough video of the weekend in general, and it appears as if taking video was secondary to drinking Jager Bombs (LOL). We're going to make a conscious effort to do a better job of documenting the 2009 Bomb Squad race weekends! We'll have more video camera's available, and hopefully a few willing videographers who can focus on getting the highlights on tape. Wish us luck ;-)
We leave for MIS two weeks from tomorrow!! Can't wait! I'm ordering the Jager for MIS this afternoon. It's gonna be a wild ride, so HOLD ON TIGHT!
And remember, unlike Carl Edwards, always keep your ride shiny side UP!
Marc.

More pictures
In anticipation of the upcoming infield season, I've finally cleared the backlog of pictures from the Talladega trip. The Talladega October 2008 page has been updated with the rest of the pictures I got from the gang. Head over to the Pictures page and have a look - there just may be a shot of you in there!
(I'm still trying to figure out how to link in your cool powerpoint Tbone, have no fear, it will be there - eventually)

Rain, Rain...Go Away
I'm sitting here waiting to see if the Coke 600 is going to happen or not (like everyone else in NASCAR Nation.) I hate rain delays!!
While I'm waiting, I've been reviewing the tape from last fall's Talladega race, when the Jager Bomb Squad TOOK OVER Talladega Boulevard and rocked the infield like it's never been rocked before!! I'm taking the footage off the MiniDV tape and burning it to a DVD. Unfortunately we only managed to get about 25 minutes of footage, but it brought back some very fond memories. We will do a MUCH better job documenting the infield in 2009 - I promise!!
Less than 3 weeks til MIS!! Looking forward to it more every day! See you there!!
Oh, and lest we forget, of course, that TallOween is coming up in October. Dega....here comes the Bomb Squad...AGAIN!

All Star Weekend
NASCAR All-Star weekend is upon us. Less than 24 hours until the 2009 All-Star race! We'll see if Kasey can defend his victory from last year and repeat in 2009. Richard Petty Motorsports could REALLY use a win to get some momentum going this season.
I ordered our 2009 Bomb Squad t-shirts today, so we should be all set for June! Now we just need to get the cups and Jager ordered and we'll be good to go!
Here is a schedule of events for the Lifelock 400 weekend at MIS in June. Check it out.
I'll post more info soon. Have a great All-Star weekend!!

T-Minus 4 Weeks and Counting
We leave for MIS 4 weeks from tomorrow!! I am just waiting for final Bomb Squad approval of this year's t-shirt design to pull the trigger on the shirts for the race. I had intended to go gonzo on the shirts this year (multi-color designs, crazy graphics) but since funds are tight I think the standard black-on-orange shirts are gonna happen again this year.
You can see the shirt design here. I plan to order the shirts before Friday, so we'll have them in time for the race. As far as other race supplies, I still need to order cups, 4 cases of Jager (in Liter bottles), and go shopping as Sams Club for Red Bull and food/beer for the weekend.
Time is flying!! Before I know it I'll be picking up the camper to get it packed and head west to Brooklyn, Michigan for another AWESOME weekend in the infield! I'm looking forward to another Epic party!
See all you Bomb Squad fans very soon!!

Saturday Night - Bombs Away
The Bomb Squad got together on Saturday night to watch the Richmond night race and do a little planning for the upcoming trip to the infield at Michigan (and when I say a LITTLE planning, that's exactly how much got done!)
Darrin, Stacey and I met TBone and Willy at Buffalo Wild Wings to grab some food (and beer) and watch the start of the race. We talked a little bit of shop, but mostly just ate some of the hottest (and best) boneless wings ever consumed during a NASCAR race!
After we were done eating, we headed back to the Bomb Squad headquarters (my house) and finished watching the race while consuming copious amounts of fermented beverages and a few team Jager Bomb shots. I guess it was sort of like a dry run for the upcoming weekend of mayhem at Michigan, and we did not disappoint! Well, TBone might have disappointed a little bit...just kidding ;-) Let's just say that Sunday morning was rough for all of us, but at least we didn't have to deal with Jet Dryers or that "Welcome Race Fan's" guy blaring on infield microphones at 8 o'clock in the morning like we do on race weekends!
So...the Bomb Squad is gearing up for June. We have our list of attendees pretty sorted out, and are working on finishing up the t-shirt artwork for 2009. Our Jager supplier is on standby, ready to fill our order on a moments notice, so I think we'll be good to go.
Only 39 more get-ups until we're headed to the infield again!!
