Ragan Goes Retro at Indy...


By: Jeff Wackerlin on July 26, 2011 | 5:22 P.M. EST

Ragan and Jarrett unveiled the paint scheme at Infineon Raceway in June.
PrintEmail ShareDavid Ragan will turn back this clock this weekend when he pilots a special paint scheme in the Brickyard 400 that resembles Ned Jarrett's 1965 championship winning car.

Ragan, who grew up a big Dale Jarret fan, will get the opportunity to pay tribute to Ned's recent induction into the NASCAR Hall of Fame with a throwback design on his No. 6 UPS Ford.

"It's an honor to be able to represent Ned, and certainly the NASCAR Hall of Fame," Ragan said. "Thanks to UPS for allowing us to do this. The car almost has a little bit hint of Ford blue in it and very cool features that resemble Ned's 1965 season. Maybe it will bring us a little bit of luck."

Along with the color of the No. 6 car, the paint scheme will have similar characteristics to the No. 11 Jarrett drove for Bondy Long, including white wheels and the look of the numbers. Also, instead of UPS on the rear quarter panels the car will carry the words "Gentleman Ned."

"It's certainly very exciting and I appreciate the Hall of Fame and UPS and everyone who helped to make this happen," Jarrett said. "I can't think of anyone carrying my name than David Ragan."

The start of the 2011 Sprint Cup Series season saw another Ford driver, Trevor Bayne, pilot a retro David Pearson paint scheme to Victory Lane in the Daytona 500. Now, Ragan will look to do the same in another one of the year's biggest races as he shoots for his second victory of the month in his continuing hunt to lock down a spot in the Chase.

"We think we need to win at least another one to be solidly in the Chase," Ragan said. "There will be a lot of one-win drivers by the time the Chase field is set."

Ragan, who currently holds one of the two wild card spots for the Chase, will pilot a new chassis when he makes his fifth start at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

“Indy is one of the biggest races every year and we’ve built a brand new UPS Ford for it with a new paint scheme," said Drew Blickensderfer, crew chief of the No. 6 Ford. "The track has a unique configuration and that’s something we don’t race on very often.

"It’s awesome to have UPS honoring Ned Jarrett’s induction into the Hall of Fame on our car for this weekend. The Jarretts have been a great family for our sport.”

The Government is warning all men who frequent clubs, party- goers and unsuspecting bar regulars to be alert and stay cautious when offered a drink from any woman. A date rape drug on the market called "beer" is used by many females to target unsuspecting men. The drug is generally found in liquid form and is now available almost anywhere. It comes in bottles, cans, from taps and in what the kids call "kegs."

"Beer" is used by female sexual predators at parties and bars to persuade their male victims to go home and have sex with them. Typically, a woman needs only to persuade a guy to consume a few units of "beer" and then simply ask him home for no strings attached sex. Men are rendered helpless against this approach.

After several "beers" men will often succumb to desires to perform sexual acts on horrific looking women to whom they would never normally be attracted. After drinking "beer" men often awaken with only hazy memories of exactly what happened to them the night before, often with just a vague feeling that something bad occurred.

At other times these unfortunate men are swindled out of their life's savings in a familiar scam known as "a relationship." It has been reported that in extreme cases, the female may even be shrewd enough to entrap the unsuspecting male into a longer term form of servitude and punishment referred to as "marriage." Apparently, men are much more susceptible to this scam after "beer" is administered and sex is offered by the predatory female.

Please! Forward this warning to every male you know. However, if you fall victim to this insidious "beer" and the predatory women administering it, there are male support groups with venues in every town where you can discuss the details of your shocking encounter in an open and frank manner with similarly affected, like-minded guys. For the support group nearest you, just look up "Golf Courses" in the yellow pages.

Men are so easy to manipulate…

This is alarming

Beer contains female hormones! Yes, that's right, FEMALE hormones!


Last month, Montreal University and scientists released the results of a recent analysis that revealed the presence of female hormones in beer. Men should take a concerned look at their beer consumption. The theory is that beer contains female hormones (hops contain Phytoestrogens) and that by drinking enough beer, men turn into women.

To test the theory, 100 men each drank 8 schooners of beer within a one (1) hour period.



It was then observed that 100% of the test subjects, yes, 100% of all these men:-



1) Argued over nothing.


2) Refused to apologize when obviously wrong.



3) Gained weight.


4) Talked excessively without making sense.



5) Became overly emotional


6) Couldn't drive.



7) Failed to think rationally, and



8) Had to sit down while urinating.

No further testing was considered necessary!!



Send this to the men you know to warn them about drinking too much beer!

I got some sad news last Friday, my son called, my d-in-lwas mom passed away in a Portland hospital. She had been there for a week or so. Very sick, she was a smoker and drinker for 40 years as a bartender. It wasn't a shock at her age of 71. IMO...after all that abuse to her body, she was luck to live that long.

Thanks! Been napin' in my chair...aka...passed out!~LOL!!!

Here's todays WT-A...

C) Cumulonimbus

What cloud is associated with tornado formation?

Your Answer: Cumulonimbus

Also with other nasties like hail, squall lines, rotor clouds with extreme turbulence,and "microbursts" of descending air to knock planes down. The theory is that tornadoes originate with the coalescence of several cumulonimbus clouds, given a "twist" by upper-level jet streams, the resulting extreme updraughts and low pressure causing the rotating funnel cloud with winds up to 300 miles per hour!

Dave was: AWOL/DNG

Mexican soldiers found the largest marijuana plantation ever detected in Mexico, a huge field covering almost 300 acres, the Defense Department said Thursday.

The plantation is four times larger than the previous record discovery by authorities at a ranch in northern Chihuahua state in 1984.

The pot plants sheltered under black screen-cloth in a huge square on the floor of the Baja California desert, more than 150 miles south of Tijuana, across the border from San Diego.

Army Gen. Alfonso Duarte said the screening, which is often used by regular farmers to protect crops from too much sun or heat, made it difficult to detect from the air what was growing underneath.

It was only when soldiers on the ground reached the isolated area Tuesday that they found thousands of pot plants as high as 2.5 yards tall. The average height of the plants was about 1.5 yards. Duarte said they were not yet ready for harvest.

"We estimate that in this area, approximately 60 people were working. When they saw the military personnel, they fled," Duarte told reporters. A few were later reportedly detained at a nearby roadblock, but Duarte said no arrests were made at the scene.

He said traffickers could have harvested about 120 tons of marijuana from the plantation, worth about 1.8 billion pesos (about $160 million).

Video of the plantation showed a sophisticated system of piped-in irrigation to support the plants, which Duarte said was fed by two wells. The plantation also included some wooden outbuildings, presumably for use by people caring for the plants.

Troops will destroy the fields by burning them, Duarte said.

While it's unknown how much of Mexican drug cartels' income comes from marijuana, recent discoveries suggest it remains a large-scale trade.

Last October, Mexican authorities made their largest-ever seizure of marijuana packaged for sale, a record 148 tons found in a number of tractor trailers and houses in Tijuana. They appeared to make up a major distribution center traced directly to Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, Mexico's most-wanted fugitive, who has expanded the reach of his Sinaloa cartel along the U.S.-Mexico border since escaping from prison in 2001.

In November, U.S. and Mexican investigators found two long, sophisticated tunnels under the border between Baja California and California, along with more than 40 tons of marijuana in and around the tunnels.

The tunnels ran about 2,000 feet from Mexico to San Diego and were equipped with lighting, ventilation and a rail system for drugs to be carried on a small cart.

U.S. officials say they believe the tunnels also were the work of the Sinaloa cartel.

While the Arellano Felix or Tijuana cartel long dominated the drug trade in Baja California, the cartel has been greatly weakened by government hits on its leadership, and authorities say there are signs that the Sinaloa cartel now also operates in the area.

Duarte said he did not know which group operated the plantation found Tuesday.
