  1. Re: Billiards trick (video) What did he say????? Cool, I wonder how long that took to set up?
  2. Re: No Love for Harvick Here is an article about Richard Childress's week. (hunting and racing related) LOUDON, N.H. -- The man behind the bottle couldn't stop smiling as the cork flew over the crowd and the champagne sprayed through the air late Sunday afternoon at New Hampshire International Speedway. He also couldn't see missing this moment. Richard Childress cut short his hunting trip in Alaska and flew nearly 4,000 miles on Saturday because he had a feeling one of his drivers competing in the Chase for the Nextel Cup would win the first of the 10-race playoff. Kevin Harvick did, giving his boss a moment to remember. Not only did he win the race, but he gave Richard Childress Racing the points lead for the first time since March 14, 1999, when Mike Skinner led after the fifth race. That's a total of 270 races outside of the lead, not what one would expect from an organization that won six championships under the late Dale Earnhardt. "It means a lot,'' said Childress as he wiped the champagne and sweat from his face. "Just to be in this Chase, for all the men and women that's worked so hard to get our company back in position to run for a championship, I can't tell you what that means. "It just feels good to be back competitive and winning races.'' The win was Harvick's fourth of the season. Childress took great pleasure in signaling that with four fingers each time he and the rest of the No. 29 team switched hats for another picture in Victory Lane. But the real sign he wants to make is No. 1, as in Harvick's first title and the first at RCR since Earnhardt's last in 1994. "Like I told people earlier before we got in the Chase, if we make the Chase we'll be a contender,'' Childress said. Childress' day was made even better by Jeff Burton's seventh-place finish that moved him to fifth in points, 64 behind Harvick. "It's just unbelievable the feeling you get out of this,'' Childress said. "To see everybody's enthusiasm, to see a young driver like Kevin, how pumped up he is ... seeing how Jeff Burton and that whole group is pumped up ... this is why I'm here.'' Childress began last week by flying to Chistochina, Alaska, after Harvick's win at Richmond. The trip included two stops for fuel in his private plane, a stop in Anchorage, Alaska, to switch to another plane for an hour and a half flight, and a 30-minute drive to get on another plane for an hour flight. Once there, Childress had to hike 14 hours up a mountain to an elevation of 8,000 feet. "It was a long day,'' he said. Fortunately for Childress, he didn't have to make many trips up the mountain. He bagged a trophy doll sheep that had 42-inch horns, perhaps an omen that good things were ahead. "To get that doll was like winning the lottery,'' Childress said. "It was a huge deal to get that.'' Winning on Sunday was bigger. Winning the championship in nine weeks would be even bigger, particularly for an organization that was so down a few years ago that Harvick said he should have been fired. Childress laughed at the mere suggestion. "I know that he's a championship-caliber driver,'' Childress said. "I told him one time we're going to go to the stage together in New York City. That's what we're going to do.'' And for the record, Childress plans to be there all the way. "We could have taken a little bit of a right turn and ended up in North Carolina,'' he said of the decision to come to New Hampshire. "I want to stay as involved in this thing as hard as I can right now.''

  6. Re: Single shot problem I think I figured out what the problem was, I bought some cheaper shells for him just to plink with, and out of the box, only 2 ejected by themselves. Then switched over to a box of Remingtons, and everyone of them came out on there own. I guess you get what you pay for.

  8. On my son's youth NEF .243 after taking a shot, when you break the gun open to eject the brass, it doesn't always eject. I have to take a cleaning rod through the end of the barrel to knock it out. Any thoughts on how to correct this?

  15. Re: Psyco test (everybody needs to take this) The answer is, the guy she fell in love with went to her mothers funeral, therefore he knew the family, and she figured if she killed her sister that the guy would also go to her funeral and she could meet him again. what can I say?
