  2. I wish we could see the evidence (pics) of the garage door pull rope knot that was "fashioned similar to a noose" knot. Someone could have tied a Canadian Jam Loop knot or the common slip knot with a stopper knot (which the loop does not pull tighter or smaller), which looks like a Noose Knot (which the loop tightens when loaded). The Jam Loop knot / slip knot with stopper would be very suitable to grab to pull down a heavy garage door. Or, perhaps someone tied a commonly used fishing lure attachment loop knot called the Kreh Loop Knot (the loop does not pull tighter or smaller), which appears similar to the Hangman's noose knot (which the loop tightens when loaded). The Kreh Loop Knot would be very suitable to grab to pull down a heavy garage door. Maybe NA$CAR needed a tech inspector that knows all about the different types of knots.

  4. https://speed51.com/outlaw-stock-driver-wins-his-own-snowball-derby/ The Outlaw Stock race at the 52nd Annual Snowball Derby was just exactly that: a derby. Multiple red flags marred the 50-lap feature, trimming down the field from 32 at the start to just 14 by the time the checkered flag was thrown over an hour later. Gary Sutton took the lead at the onset of the race and dominated most of the feature before the slew of wrecks caught up to him. He was passed for the lead by John Heil on a restart with 16 laps to go and proceeded to free fall through the field. He would eventually recover for a top 10 finish. Meanwhile, Heil was on cruise control from the moment he wrestled the lead away from Sutton and would go on to score the win. The Texas driver set fast time out of 42 cars who made the trip to Five Flags Speedway earlier in the day, but would not taste the lead until lap 34. With the high attrition rate, Heil was more worried about finishing the race than finishing first. “I knew we had a good car from the start, I just didn’t want to tear it up. You get around, you cut a tire, but hell it was getting down to the end and I had to make something happen,” Heil said on the Speed51 broadcast. “I got lucky and made it happen.” The win was the biggest one of Heil’s career to this point. While it may not have taken place on Sunday afternoon, he will still call himself a Snowball Derby champion. “It’s the best thing I’ve ever done. I know it’s not the Snowball Derby but it’s as close as I’ll ever get to it.” Joe Bethea Jr started ninth and survived the attrition to finish second after a daring three-wide move on the final restart. Considering how qualifying went for the team, it was a successful night for the Alabama driver, who finished runner-up in the Outlaw Stock feature for the second year in a row. “I hate to see all those good cars get tore up, I know everybody puts a lot of time and effort into them,” Bethea said. “I kind of put my guys behind the eight-ball today starting ninth, didn’t have a good qualifying effort, but we had a good race car. To finish second from ninth is pretty good.” Former Five Flags Speedway track champion Kody Brusso finished third, followed by Cameron Henderson and George Gorham Jr. Outlaw Stocks Results: Pos # Driver 1 96H John Heil 2 33 Joe Bethea Jr 3 7B Kody Brusso 4 92 Cameron Henderson 5 03 George Gorham 6 1 Donald Crocker 7 9D Brooke Storer 8 93 Paul Jean 9 21H David Hodges 10 00 Jeff Belt 11 16 Bubba Winslow 12 23 Gary Goodwin 13 5C Chase Oliver 14 407 Jason Vail 15 40 Stephen Nasse 16 31 Wayne Niedecken 17 151 Gary Sutton 18 26 Corbitt Moseley 19 3C Casey Caudill 20 32 Stuart Dutton 21 91 Chris Cotto 22 96D Greg Davidson 23 71 Jody Henderson 24 4J Todd Jones 25 21F Jason Furrow 26 6 Nathan Henderson 27 21W Jason Welch 28 84 Doug Thorp Jr 29 8B Justin Beck 30 10 Patrick Thomas 31 51F Jake Finch 32 54 Connor Sutton -Story by: Koty Geyer, Speed51.com State Editor (IN/MI) – Twitter: @kgeyer3 -Photo Credit: Speed51.com

  6. Saw Carl Wentrcek featured on the Texas Country Reporter show this morning. Carl's fishing guide service is located in Corpus Christi, but he has several "float fishing cabins" located in remote areas of the coastal waters. His cabins are equipped with stadium lights for attracting the fish for some serious night fishing. Carl was a top competitor and multi-time champion in the Limited Late Models at San Antonio Speedway. Occasionally, his LLM could also be competitive with the Super Late Models.
