Must have been busy because I was told, in short order, you do have a trip, your show time is this, and they were not familiar with online password notification. No clarification or reason was given.

If it was a white slip, it's your responsibility to check.

FTB, isn't it a bit sexist to single out a woman for doing well when she came in 8th? I mean, where are the kudos for the 3rd - 7th? And 9th...didn't he do well, too? Just partly giving you a hard time--you're* take take was the same you'll hear from the experts who get paid for their take in front of the camera. I'm with you and I also think she had a really good race. But I can't help but note how the double standard applies: woman are just as good as men, but we have to give extra atta-girls to the women, cuz, well, their women. Just an observation. ![Big Grin](https://www.airlinepilotforums.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
(This is my protest against those who use "your" when "you're" is what is meant.)

And, I'll say this. I watched this race right along with my wife and daughter and we were glued to the tv. You wanna guess the last time they saw a race? Heck, even me. I don't watch Nascar but I'll watch the Daytona 500 maybe but I'd never cheer for a Chevy. I think I could point three drivers out of a crowd but thats it. But make it four now and yes I cheer for a Chevy. The girl is gold.
And I know this could be framed as girl beats discrimination in a mans world or just the opposite as some sort of affirmative action/ratings ploy by NASCAR, but I'll go glass half full on this one and say she is a good race car driver. Not to mention she looked mad in that interview and was trying to control her tongue, so she wants to win. That's cool. She seems like the real deal.

Someone said they were acquired to be sold off for parts. Basically to us. I've heard one of the issues with the 90s we have is parts, so maybe someone made the right move.
Kind of like that 4 engined Lockheed corporate Jetstar. Who in their right mind wants a four engine corporate jet? Those engines were run on Hawkers, Citations, Falcons, etc, it'd be like running 2 of those other jets with one fuselage! So you could buy an unwanted one for $700K or less. Go ahead, waste your money.
Of course one savvy mechanic at a TFE overhaul location figured something out, those desirable engines hanging on the pylons of an undesirable jet are worth $2M+. So buy the jet for $700K and sell the engines for a quick net of $1.3M. Smart guy.
