That's right race fans, we have a very LARGE action packed weekend (January 24 & 25) awaiting for us as the 2009 racing season will finally get underway, and we here at the Furious Wedge hope to get everyone together for a weekend of fun!!
What exactly is in store??
24 straight hours of live-blogging, twitter-ing, discussions, chatting and any betting pools anyone can come up with!!
Simply tune in to the Furious Wedge blog or add the following account to follow on your twitter: FuriousWedge
We'll be blogging/twittering/discussing the following so far:
#1 - Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona
Over 13 IndyCar present and former entered already; also NASCAR drivers, Grand-Am, ALMS, Motorcross, Supercross, BAJA drivers all entered, this is the true IROC!
#2 - A1GP's race in New Zealand Team USA represented by Marco Andretti, many other Formula 1, GP2, FBMW, Champ Car drivers as well as many up and coming drivers make for some very excellent competition! Can USA continue to improve on its 3rd place in Malaysia?
#3 - The NHL's All-Star Skills competitionNHL's version of homerun derby, punt-pass-kick, basketball skills only except this one is a true test of players skills.
and anything else, sports, people may think of that fits...
We're not just looking to live-blog alone though, we're looking for participation from anyone else who wants to do it in whatever capacity. If you want to twitter, or comment or help in the process, just let me know and become an honorary member of FW for the weekend!!
The weekend's event are prime for a betting pool of some sort, even if we're just betting simply bragging rights, so I'm wide open to any ideas anyone can come up with.
