ASCORS – Race #2 (New Hampshire)

This last weekend was my second run for Darkhorse Motorsports in the #34 Carhartt car in the American Stock Car Online Racing Series (ASCORS).  The venue this time was at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, a 1 mile flat oval track.  The race started with a lineup of 29 drivers. After running in practice all week [...]

Cool WoW schtuff

I was toying around with this website I found a couple months after the World of Warcraft Armory came out, and really didn’t do much with it at the time.  Today I was just screwing around again, and decided to make a few sigs of my toons on the Dawnbringer server.  I’ve included them below, [...]

ASCORS – and my first start

My contract that I’d been working on in the American Stock Car Online Racing Series (ASCORS) with Darkhorse Motorsports finaly came through on Friday afternoon.  Set up as a permanent driving contract to run the #34 car sponsored by Carhardt, I’ll get roughly 14% of the winnings and continue driving for them throughout the remaining [...]

Some more WoW goodness

Talking about World of Warcraft got a friend of mine thinking about it a couple weeks ago, and he started playing the game in earnest roughly last week when he bought the collector’s edition of the game.  This naturally got me more active with it, and I’ve been playing a lot as a result since [...]

Kelanthir – Level 48

I hit World of Warcraft pretty hard this weekend… needed something to take my mind off the current issues and work and all that.  So, I played Kelanthir and kept plugging away in the effort to get him to 70th level as soon as possible.  I managed to get from 46th to 48th in a [...]

Some NASCAR info…

Well, here’s the pics of the new car I painted for Fricken Beer.  The car main paint scheme came out a lot better than I hoped it would, and with the template I am using being a 2048 x 2048 pixel size template, it allows for a great deal of detail and clarity.  It also [...]

ASCORS, here I come… ?

In a rather amazing and surprising email, I actually received a confirmation of my application to race for the American Stock Car Online Racing Series (or, ASCORS) last weekend in their version of the Nationwide series… the “Buttkicker Live! Grand National Series” (the Buttkicker Live! is a 3rd party device that attaches to the bottom [...]

Today is 6 June, 2008

On this date, sixty-four years ago, at 0100 hours the invasion of France began with the dropping of more than 1,100 pathfinders… who’s job it was to locate and mark the landing zones for the airborne troops who would begin arriving within an hour’s time. It was to mark the beginning of the struggle of [...]

The Chant of the Vikings

Well… sort of. As with all things that deal with ancient and medieval history, I am usually captivated when a book or movie with a good director captures the essence of the period while at the same time manages to make the storyline one that captivates and motivates the viewer to learn more about the [...]

The Kendrajaaro Saga

I started messing with Kendrajaaro again over the weekend, and got him up to 20th level.  I finished off a bunch of the quests I had to complete on Bloodmyst Isle, and I don’t think I have that many left (only three right now in my Quest Log) before I’m largely complete with the Quests [...]

Me, Mark, and ASCORS

Well, doesn’t look like the online racing thing is going to work out like I’d hoped.  Mark is just too busy to deal with it right now, and as a result that means I’ll be on my own in the series.  I’ll most likely be running with one of my two favorite sponsorship cars I’ve [...]
