As many of you know the famous GGW Racing NASCAR team goes overseas for the first time this week as they head to Australia for Race 9 of the Show Your Moon Tour. Some of the them have never been abroad and are anxious to get going. The group is excited about the chance to show their racing skills to the Aussies and the rest of the world in their quest become the greatest drivers in the world. Most of the gang plans to just relax and see the sites, while a few are getting a headstart on planning for the next race. Little do some of them no that a few GGW members have concocted a plan to hi-jack the GGW cruise ship and take over the team in an effort to secure a treasure nearly as valuable as the Sprint Cup trophy:
And thus begins the Saga of "Mon-keys of the Caribbean-The Curse of the Golden Kitty."
Our journey begins on the coast of New Hampshire. The GGW flagship, known as the Santa Goreela will be carrying the crew to Australia and England for the next two races before returning Stateside. The cars, and pit crews are already on the way over the ocean so crews can get set up early before race time. The gang looks pretty excited as the ship gets ready to leave port and head down Under. Many of GGW's biggest fans showed up to give the team a big send-off.
The Famous Forensic2 even picked a few songs to sing for the gang as they prepared their journey. Yep, he dosn't just have the best playlist on Foxblog. He can actually sing and play all those songs too.
(If you are hearing the music, then pause here and wait for the next song before reading on)
Finally the Santa Goreela has left port and the GGW members are settled into their cabins. Some made plans for partying, some for relaxing, and some for just enjoying the ride.
Here we find lovebirds HotfootLori and Tony Stewart re-enacting their favorite movie scenes at the front of the ship.
Fever3Fan was roaming the deck looking for a place to relax when he came across Speedbeagle20 lounging in the sun wearing her lastest GGW swimwear designed by Moseby's new bride Frank Tixpiddle.
Now there's a good reason SpeedBeagle didn't stir even over 3fan's giggling. You'll find out soon what it is.
Party boys Jon464, future president Photogr T. Justice, and Moseby75 were at the back of the ship judging a Grid Gals bikini contest. The conversation was nearly as hot as the girls were.
Yeemum, Gerell, and Jokerswild were all at the indoor pool taking pictures for the 2008 GGW Drivers Calendar. Jokerswild was giddy about his new sponsor Mary Kay letting him test some of their newest products.
Gerell had been assigned to be the ship's Captain, but since the photo shoot came up, she decided to take a break and go with Yeemum and Jokers, leaving the ship on autopilot and no one on lookout. She would soon regret this.
Meanwhile, Hanahan was at the bar with his new bodyguards Winky and Stinky. He had to hire bodyguards because of the details of Jokerwild's cross dressing fetish among other things that leaked out earlier in the week during Hanahan's Roast of Jokers.
With the gang all occupied, and several members of GGW still no-where in sight, a fierce crew of Speedbeagle's henchmen that had appeared in a few races thus far showed on the horizon in the ghost ship, Black Pearl. No wonder she was so relaxed even with 3fan giggling at her doggy rear. Her plan was coming together nicely. Jbroomy, who has not been seen for weeks, was quickly getting Beagle' s band of pirates ready to strike the Santa Goreela.
Cannons roared at the GGW ship stunning all those on board except for the always calm Forensic2 who already had an idea what the pirates where looking for because of his past experiences roaming the waters as Captain Forensic Sparrow, the most feared pirate of them all in his younger years. His trusty bird Noahspop had intercepted a email converstaion with the help of Iowagirl about the other GGW members' secret plans.
Usually thought of as the nice quiet ones of the bunch, newly recruited pirate mon-keys 24X2(Rhonda) ,Volfan69, and Dwindy rampaged the decks stealing everything they could grab. Show your Moon moonshine, drivers training tapes and log books, and even Jokerswild's trunk full of Fredericks of Hollywood lingerie.
What they were looking for was a treasure map that had been previously hidden for centuries in the free counter.com coding in Lisa H's blog profile.
The map contains the location of the Golden Kitty, a priceless giant pure gold cat statue worth billions that had been hidden by SweetKena and Texascudaguy for safe keeping.
It's location is Kong Island, a small island south of the Australian cost impossible to reach through the dense fog with out the map. It's also the summer home to Cuda and heavily guarded by Kong's followers and Kena's clan of giant warrior cats.
Well trained and ready for anything the Kena Kongs and Cuda Kongs would not be easy for the other GGW members to get past even if they did have the map.
Once Tylerhead realized the map was useless to him, he decided to take his frustration out on Klvalus, but he wouldn't get much.
Finally the voice of reason stepped in as Tezqm99 settled everyone down to resolve their differences and work together as a team again.
As the GGW gang set sail again for Australia in their quest for gold and NASCAR domination, Texascudaguy and SweetKena prepared for their arrival.
As we wait for race 9 hosted by Tez to see who will claim the TransPacific Traveler 150, and the Golden Kitty, we can only hope the race is as exctiing as GGW's journey to get there. The Aussies better be ready for this wild bunch because lugnuts will be flying the like cannons, and drivers will be stealing positions like the pirates they aspire to be in the next race of the GGW Show Your Moon Tour.
Thanks for reading this installment of "Mon-keys of the Caribbean-The Curse of the Golden Kitty." Feel free to add to the story and explain yourself if you were one of the pirates.
(Jokerswild- no explanation needed. We don't want to know what size thong you wear)
Stardate 20358.7. Captain's log 2218. The Chase, The Final Frontier. One warp speed jump to go and these Carfleet crewmembers will begin the battle for space and the journey to the uncharted edges of the Federation Territory and beyond.
Let's look at the top 5 contenders to lead the EOT (Enterprise of Tomorrow) into the outer reaches of Space.
Executive Officer "Spock" Busch would be the Logical choice, because of his increasingly strong Vulcan Death grip on the points standings. However, one would think it's highly illogical to think that his large vulcan ears would help his aerodynamics and this could play a factor later on.
Currently in second place, have Chief Engineer "Geordie" Burton, who always seems to see thing clearly around him each week and is consistent with his vision to reach the Chase. You never see him do anything spectacular, but he's always around.
In 3rd we have Leutinent Commander "Scotty " Earnhardt, Jr.. Scotty usually plays a larger factor in the popularity of the Enterprise crew than the captain does, and once every 76 episodes he is rewarded by briefly becoming a captain. His father "Scotty Sr." was a great Starfleet commander that lead many voyages to the vast regions of the Nebular Galaxy.
He sometimes has some overzealous fans that grace the Foxblog Interpanetary Zone whom you wish would just ask him to "beam them up" to back where they came from.
Holding on to 4th is Communications Offficer Uhura Carla Edwards. She is usually the one to "beam" the others to different places on the track with the "flip" of a switch.
In 5th is reigning Starfleet Captain Jimmy T. "Kirk . He has completed the journey to the end of the Chase frontier and is known for long time parternship with Klingon warrior Kongo Knauss. His prime directive is to live long and prosper by defending the Federation Championship this year.
The rest of the Federation members currently seeking a place on the Enterprise crew in the journey to the Chase are :
Leutinent Commander "Zulu" Gordon,
2nd Medical Officer Dr. Beverly "Biffle" Crusher,
Tactical Officer "Worf" Hamlin,
Navigations Officer "Chehkov" Kahne,
Chief Medical Officer "Bones" Bowyer,
Former Carfleet Captain "Jon Luc" Stewart,
and Chief Operations Officer "Data" Kenseth.
As they near the outer edges of Space in their quest to the final frontier, it will be an exciting voyage to "where no man has gone before" (ok well in a flying race car with photon torpedoes, that is.)
So get your tricorders ready, and set your phasers to stun. It will soon be time to begin the battle of Car Trek, The Final Frontier.
Thanks to our friends at the GRIN channel (Gor-rilla Racing Insiders Network), we are able to bring you an inside look at the the GGW Racing team that has taken the NASCAR world by storm. After this pasts week's race the Show Your Moon Miller Lite 150, we were allowed into the home of Klvalus for the after party to show the fans some of what goes on with this wacky bunch when they are away from their NASCAR headquarters.
Lead reporter Crusty Wallack and his team of Foxblog cameramen bring you this very exclusive view of the Mon-keys on their own turf.
We followed the group around for the night during this post race celebration and as expected, these mon-keys are just as looney off the track as they are on it.
We were greeted in the driveway by GGW superstars Volfan69 and Hotfootlori admiring their new company cars provided by the always generous GGW.
Next we headed to Kristen's living room where we found the famous Forensic2 and a few pals dicussing last week's race... among other things.(Who's that in the pic on the wall? Could that be Kristen's darn baby pic again)? We also recognized a few familiar celebrity faces from the Show Your Moon Miller Lite 150.
Forensic was unavailable, or unwilling, to give us an exclusive interview so we moved on to the back patio where we found Presidential hopeful Photogr, Tophatal/rampantfan,part time GGW driver Frank, and the alluring Lindsey from the local Hooters lounging in the hottub area discussing politics, well mostly politics.
Not wanting this to look bad in his bid for Presidency , Mr Photogr pointed out that both gals have an IQ of over 65, which is at least more than most of GGW's drivers.
Next we decided to wander back to the den area where we found Moseby and Hanahan watching what we thought to possibly be a GGW training video at first, but soon discovered this was inaccurate.
Taking a peak inside Ms Klvalus's personal office, we found her inside reading her favorite blog on Foxblog, wearing her favorite cap, and preparing campaign funds for Mr. Photogr.
The GRIN Network, after a large contribution from Ms. Klvalus and GGW during this visit, will now carry all future broadcasts of GGW races and Mr Photogr's presidential debates as well.
Moving outside we found GGW driver and part time movie star, Texascudaguy, his fiancee Naomi Watts, and phenom points leader TezQM99 in the yard. Mr Cuda would not let us air the rest of their conversation for reasons that would be apparent after rumours of his alleged affair with the mysteriuos female driver Frank Tixpiddle.
Unable to get Tez's attention and unable to continue with Mr Cuda, we decided to see what was happening at the pool where we found jon464 showing Rookie of the Year driver favorites 24X2 and Jbroomy a few moves,
while MeanDovine relaxed in the pool.
For some reason, no one wanted to join Mr Dovine in the water.
Heading back out to the lawn, we discovered SweetKena, Frever3Fan, and MegaNASCAR star Tony Screwart shooting the breeze.
Brangelina? Don't you mean SmokeaFootie? Yeah. We don't think that works either.
Hearing a rumble coming down the street, we decided to see what the commotion was and found Tylerhead, and Dwindy bringing back some beverages to the party.
We also discovered Jokerswild in his usual state of consciuosness, eeermm......relaxing on the street?
After their little Car Wars episode in the previous race, we were not surprised to find these two wild ones driving what they were. As for Mr Joker, well... Ok we weren't surprised at all by his condition either.
Also in the driveway were Noahspop and Tsfanpc attempting to make a few upgrades to Tylerhead's transportation before he returned.
No word yet on whether they were successful with the um... alterations.
Finally we moved back inside where we found media favorites Yeemum and Gerell at the buffet discussing the state of GGW's popularity,,, or maybe it was the state of some driver's unpopularity.
After that, we decided to call it night. Thanks for tuning in to the Gor-rilla Racing Insiders Network for our inside look at the stars of GGW.
This is Crusty Wallack for GRIN saying " If it aint broke, then let's break it! Have a banana, and enjoy the ride. Good night race fans."
Just to let all the fans,members, and rookies of GGW know, I'm working on putting all the post links in one place for a second GGW Chronicles called the "FORENSIC FILES".
The first GGW Chronciles has the complete story up until October 07. The second installment will inlude everything from then til now. It may take me a bit to get this all together, because i have to search through the blog archives and find only the ones about GGW. Regular blogs about NASCAR that just have GGW category on them aren't part of the story and aren't included.
It will likely be 2 parts, because we currently have nearly 50 parts to the legendary story of GGW including my original GGW Chronicles which was the first 17 or so.
I was going to print the whole thing out from the Chronicles til now and read what i've missed for the last 4 months, so I'll save the links in word or excel as i go. I'll try to get this together soon and email it to those in the GGW Group board.
Aug 12 '08 will be the 1 year anniversary of Gorillas Gone Wild Racing.
It's amazing how this thing has grown.. Everyone should definitely give a huge percentage of their race winnings with GGW to Forensic for doing the awesome job he does to entertain us. Photogr, Gerell, Klvalus, Yeemum, Hotfootlori, and those scheduled for arranging the upcoming "Moon Tour" races all deserve praise as well. As for me, I'm just happy i have a lifetime supply of Bananas and "Show your Moon" Shine.
Here is the link for the newbies to the first GGW Chronicles. It covers the story up to October 07. The first Chronicles has a little overview of the story that played out in each blog. Might do that with the Forensic Files also if you guys think it makes it easier to read. Let me know on this, because with so many links, it might be easier to just paste the links for you on one blog where you can just read one post, click back to the Forensic Files, and go to the next one.
The majority of the posts are available in Forensic ,Photogr, or my archives but as we know, Forensic's archives are harder to gain access to than the mysterious NASCAR rule book. A few are also available in Gerell, Yeemum, and now Klvalus' archives.
Forensic also made a video about GGW on Youtube a while back. It's the story about the same timelines as the Chronicles. Check it out sometime if you haven't seen it already. When you get to it wait about 30 seconds when it starts and then it will play smoothly. It has a short glitch in the beginning because of some issue on Youtube with the longer videos. Trust me, its worth your time to watch it if you enjoy the awesome graphics Forensic works so hard to show us. Here's the link:
For me, this whole thing has been a ton of fun,a "barrel of mon-keys" i guess you could say, and one day i may want to look back on it. That's the main reason I am doing this, and I imagine some of you might want to have it around as well. I see it as almost like a continuous movie that we all write the script too and all star in. We just have a little more hair, bein Gor-rillas and Girl-rillas, then your average Hollywood stars do. When i disappearred again for nearly 4 months and then came back to see i was still included in this story during the whole time, i realized this is definitely an experience to rememeber and a priviledge to be included in.
Forensic, Again I thank you Sir for the time you've put into all this, and without you, none of it is possible. I know one day you'll get tired of humouring us with this Saga. I for one, truly appreciate all you've done and all that is still to come.
I'll let everyone know when i get all the links together and do an update for you, so if anyone else wants them to know how we evolved from 1 mon-key in a banana car to Death Star destroyers and beyond, let me know and i'll send ya the links.
With all the talk about the possiblity of the first Triple Crown in 30 years by Big Brown if he wins this Saturday's Belmont Stakes race, it seems a lot of the other horses have been left out of the spotlight. Lets take a lil looksey at a few of them and see why.
First We have Rocket McZee starting in the #2 post. This Horse is sponsored by Stankees Porta-Lounge, a small personal relief company in the New Dork area. He comes in at 7-2 odds. He would likely be the favorite over Big Brown if not for his owner Hank Stinkbreaker's questional training techiques and the competition committee's concerns over performance enhancers. McZee almost didn't make it to the Belmont after a roadside bomber in Bostone tried to take out his trailer.
His scheduled jockey is Douglas J. Needles from the Back To The Future Trilogy. Needles and McZee have been together their entire careers.
Next, starting from psot 3 is Burro Cinco. This fiery horse is sponsored by Big Mouth Bubble Gum and is currently seeking a new stable to reside in. He is not happy with the hay and oats supply his current owner provides.
Rumour has it that Burro Cinco's new jockey, Gary "Pimp Daddy" Coleman is interested in buying this horse and using it for his security detail job at Cincinatti Correctional Facilty, but nothing has been confirmed yet..
Starting from the #4 post we have Terell Oatsins.He will sport the 81 and be sponsored by Romobaucher Extra Butter Popcorn. His trainer says he prefers to be called Oatsey, because of his similarities to last year's Derby winner Rundy Grass.
Jockeying Oatsey will be Quack-man Bones. Bones was previously abolished from all Horse Racing activities after an incedent with another trainer at the 2006 Hentucky Derby. The identity of this man was not realeased but we have an exclusive photo proving it was ex Superjockey Barles Chalkley.
Originally from the #5 post, we had a surprising new horse named Wyle-D-Squish sheduled to make his first Belmont start.
However, during training earlier this week the Squish got upset for some strange reason after dominating all other horses in practices and had an accident with another SuperHorse's transportation. It still isn't known who was at fault for the accident, but Squish will not recover in time for this year's Belmont.
Replacing Wyle-D-Squish in the 5 post will be a horse making his first major staks race. Rambo Splice. This horse is relativley unknown. He was voted in by thousands of horse racing fans from YouBube, which decided to become his sponsor after all the attention this upstart horse brought the popular website.
His jockey in the Belmont will be Hay Bakin. Bakin was also an unknown before he got his chance with the Simon Cowell Equestrian Center. Many believe this horse and rider combo will be one and done in this sport.
Earlier today, the popular Foxblog and NASCAR racing team from GGW was spotted attempting to get to the track to set up their Gorillas Gone Wild vendor tent. The Superstar race team seems to show up at all major sporting events since GGW co-founder Photogr earned the democratic nomination for the presidential race over his heavily favored opponent Billary Squinton. Also tagging along with the entourage was famous NASCAR driver Tony Screwert of Baby Bibbs Racing, rumoured to be a transgendered racer in disguise with GGW under the alias name of Frank. Trust me , i know this rumor is not true. I cant get Tony to where heels for anything.
However,the two Clydesdales, Shasqueel the Hill and Cloneby Giant, were not able to pull together on the same wagon and the GGW team was stranded without a horse to pull them to a horse race. Go figure!
After an inside look at the rest of the field for what looks to be a very exciting Belmont Stakes, i'm certain there are plenty of horses or horse's A-s-s-es that have a strong chance to win the Belmont this weekend besides the Media doll Big Brown. With this field of violent horse power, it could be one of the best high-stakes horse races ever run. If anything, the post race race interviews should be well worth the wait.
I just wanted to let everyone know it's good to be back. I was away from Foxblog for a month plus a few to help a friend out. I've noticed some new bloggers generating some attention. Thats always good to see. I also noticed BOTD and some other things are missing. I won't even ask why. I've been told i didn't miss too much due to a "Whoops" issue that had everything around here in a state of chaos for a while. Again, I won't even ask what that was all about.
I'm sad to say my first day back to the site, i received news we lost our wonderful, sweet friend, Southern Cindi. God bless to all those who helped her in her struggles. I know she had a lot of friends on this site and she was one of those people that we all strive to be like. She will be sorely missed and can never be replaced with all that she gave to the Foxblog community and the frienships she made here. My heart goes out to all those that posted wonderful tributes to her memory and to anyone who was blessed to know her.
Basically, with this post i just wanted to say It's nice to be back, and I look forward to catching up on some of the great work people contribute to this site. It's been a while since i've posted but hopefully i'll have a few things up for my NFL and NASCAR friends fairly soon.
I'm working on a sequel to the STAT WARS NFL piece i did in November that everyone enjoyed. Hopefully i won't embarress myself and it will be even better than the first one.
I'm also working on some new posts for NASCAR. One gearing up for the Daytona 500 and the start of the '08 season and another just for my friends at GGW racing. Yeah those crazy folks in the Gor*rilla suits. Their kindness and creativity is unmatched by very few.
Anways, just wanted to let everyone know i'm back and I appreciate the emails and Welcome Back's that i recieved from some of the great people here.
Leave a comment, a cold beer, or some hate mail. Whatever floats your boat. It's all good.
Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Folks. As some of you know, our fellow blogger and friend klvalus was selected to do a series of articles in NASCAR for Fox after the great job she did winning the Miller Lite Sportswriter Challenge here recently. She has been gracious enough to keep us up to date on her exeperience through a Journal on her blog, and Fox has finally posted her first of several featured articles. Congrats again to Kristen, and the hard work she put into the contest, and the well deserved rewards she is recieving.
Kristen and her Dale Jr. Bears
Her first article is about the NASCAR experience behind the scenes from a fan perspective.
Please stop by the above link and give Kristen a read and some props for a job well done. She's too bashful to post a link here on the blogs, so i thought i would just do it for her(please don't run me over witha Bud #8 Chevy Kristen) She deserves every bit of it. Awesome job on the article and we are proud of you.
After DEI's struggles this year with engines, and the announcement that Dale Jr. would be leaving to go to Hendricks after '07, things have gotten even worse for Dale Earnhardt Incorporated. This past week Director of Competition Steve Heimel announced he was leaving DEI as well to join Chip Ganassi. 5 years ago, DEI was still considered one of the top teams/companies in NASCAR. How Quickly things have gone bad since the loss of Dale SR, and fankly, the loss of true direction and leadership at DEI.
Today's race showed us Nothing can go right for DEI these days.
Martin Truex had a great car all day running as the leader and hanging around the top 5. With 5 laps to go, after the final pit-stop, Denny Hamlin , who had stayed on the track for postion as everyone else pit, ran out of gas on the restart. Truex, who was boxed in behind him, slammed into the back of Hamlin, and his day was done.
Then Dale Jr who also had a strong car most of the day and had worked hard to fight from a lap down to make it all the way back up to 3rd place behind JJ and Carl Edwards, losses his left rear wheel on the Green/White/checker restart without any contact except the asphalt beneath him.
We've seen blow outs and track bars break, or damage caused from hitting another car cause top 5's all year for Dale Jr. to end up as DNFs, but for the whole wheel, tire, and all to just fall off, is ridiculous. Surely he had all the lugnuts on or NASCAR would have brought him back in after the pit. DEI's engines falling to peices all year, and now the wheels are breaking apart.?
What a mess!
Junior finally released some of his frustration earlier this week about having top 5 cars all year, and so many freak things turning this year into a Big dissapointment.
Here' s the link courtesy of Fox and Associated press to Dale Junior's take on how '07 has gone for his team:
With DEI's luck this year, and obvious issues in the garage, maybe its time to just park the cars, send Teresa to the Antarctic, and rebuild the company from the ground up.. Or better yet, sell it to Richard Childress. DEI is a mess and I only see things getting worse as Junior moves to Hendricks after this season ends. You have to feel bad for Truex. He's stuck in a bad situation now that only looks to get worse.

With new bloggers joining the NASCAR section at Foxblog, and bloggers from other areas popping your head down in the Racer Folks area because you secretly like NASCAR but just don't admit it, you occasionally run across a blog about G.G.W.
You may have clicked on it only to see what looks like a bunch of drunken maniacs talking about imaginary drivers and race teams. You commented that we were smoking something and you wanted us to share, or sifted through the craziness only to find yourself thinking " WTF are those people talking about. "
Well, here it is. The full story up-to-date of GGW(Gorillas Gone Wild Racing.) Yes, you were right, we are maniacs, but the majority of us are sober most of the time, and we only smoke right-handed cigarettes.
GGW is a NASCAR team created by a few of us that are NASCAR blog contributers. Most of it has evolved from the creative genius mind of Forensic2,with a little help from our banana loving friend photogr , myself Texascudaguy, and the great imaginations of our fellow bloggers.
This is for those who wonder what it is, and also for those who are already a part of this fictional race world so we can trace our steps as GGW grows into a championship team in the Nextel Cup Series.
Since its conception,GGW has included the following bloggers through addition to our wonderful team, spectators that were just popping by, or those that appeared in an episode of our insanity. Also there are a few that are on the short list of potential new GGW drivers for the 08 season , and some that were already recruited, but never paid enough attention to know they were mentioned.
That includes the following along with their "On the Track" Names.
( If humour is not your thing, you can stop here. All others proceed to the next gate.)
This post is an overview of how GGW has evolvedfrom this:
to this:
The story is told throught the posts and the comments. You might want to pay close attention to the pictures as well. (klvalus, don't go deleting your comments, now that you're gonna be a big shot Fox girl)
The original idea of GGW evolved from a COT(Car Of Tomorrow) Design by our hairy and slightly hunched over friend and fellow blogger, photogr
as suggested in a tribute from myself to the bloggers of NASCAR and what i felt they would come up with if they had to design COT of their own. You may recognize some of these bloggers, or even find yourself in here somewhere along the journey.
First is the COT designs released by the media to the Republic of Fox:
After the cat was out of the bag about photogr's banana car, he announced that he was leaving the auto sales business and returning to racing to form a new team to compete in the Nextel Cup Series. Gorillas Gone Wild Racing was formed and engine production and testing began for the five car team featuring the # 8,# 3, #03, #02, and # 81 cars.
Soon after photogr's announcement at GGW, Tezgm99 released publicly that his struggling SOB team (Subaru Outback BBQ) or (S.O.B.-yeah that one) race team was merging with GGW. HotfootLori was signed as the first driver of GGW Racing and became the first shoe-less driver in he history of NASCAR. photogr was anounced as head criew chief, with Forensic2 in charge of global operations, and part time owner/driver.
Due to the negative publicity surounding JayJaydean, and his legal future in jeaopardy, Photogr, Forensic2, and Tez asked me to step in as the second driver, and i kindly accepted( although i may have reconsidered if i knew before hand that we would be wearing gor*illa suits instead of the standard race suits provided by NASCAR.
Iowagirl was hired as a public relations specialist to help with JJD's public image and was soon promoted to head of marketing.
With the need for more testing and development, a third driver was added to the team primarily for testing COT cars while the young team was just getting on its feet(or hands in photgr's case) . She was southern girl named Frank Tixpiddle.
The Team divided into two divisions temporarily as Hotfoot and Tez took charge in the Rally series and Forensic and myself made our Nextel Cup debuts. Tez and Hotfoot did extremely well on the dirt geting GGW's first win. Forensic and myself, well..You could say we "Crushed" the competition.
If you are still here and haven't gone completley mad yet, then continue on as the best is yet to come. If your head is spinning, go read some NHL posts. Sure to calm anyone down.
Although our first Nextel cup attempt didn't go so well, now that Forensic had taken over the team, photogr decided to knock off the rust and return to driving. Sportwriter Challenge superstar, Klvalus, was hired away from DEI as another driver for GGW after DEI's announcement that Dale Jr would be leaving the team, and she wasn't going to be the one to replace him.
Photogr was rumoured to be having an affair with Teresa Earnhardt at this time, and it probably played a factor in us being able to make the deal for Kval. With Iowagirls' hard work, GGW brought on several new sponsors. The shop was finished, an F1 team was almost ready to run, and things began to really look up for GGW.
After a few weeks of solid finishes, but still no wins in the Cup series by the GGW drivers, the team got shocking news when I went missing during a testing session over-seas. The team forged on while search and rescue was sent to look for me . GGW had become by very popular in the media and Klvalus almost had our first Cup win, until she was wrecked by Jimmie Johnson late in the Richmond race.
More rumours began circulating through the team after my disappearance, and some believed ccr1d3r was a mafia lord had sent his Black Flag Posse to put a hit on myself and other GGW drivers. Charges were dropped when GGW's re-knowned lawyer One last Outlaw, showed up to court 3 hrs late because he got "Lost" in L.A. Come on now Dusty! How can you, of all people, get lost in your home city?
The team struggled in road rally and cup racing, while Klvalus took time off to celebrate her Sportswriter Challenge win(a lot of free Miller Lite Maybe?) She was seen leaving a nightclub with Dale Earnhardt Jr, while the rest of GGW were arguing over my mysterious vanishing and how Frank Tixpiddle got her black eye after partying with some previous COT designers in a certain limousine. Frank left the country soon after.
The week of Talladega, Forensic announced the team's need for some new drivers after being disgusted with my actions while over-seas, and the fact my newfound movie career was taking too much of my time away from racing. Iowagirl was given an offer to drive the 81 car, and accepted, and tracktime in my #2 car was offered to anyone willing to race for GGW. HotfootLori has been offered the seat, but a replacement for her in the road rally series is needed for this to happen. Yeemum was considered one of the favorites for the seat, but no announcement had been made yet.
This past week, Frank Tixpiddle's cousin Maude was tabbed by photogr to be a possible replacement or extra driver for GGW. He is rumoured to have a secret romance with Yeemum.
And finally, to catch us up to speed, Forensic has released race footage from Talladega. This week, the team surprised to see that Dale Earnhardt Sr. himself(or so we thought) rose from the grave to visit us this week, and Forensic is currently in hot water with Tony Stewart due to a mix-up with a charity event.
New drivers, sponsors, and team members are always welcome as we attempt to reach our goal of NASCAR domination.
Now you know why those "Crazy Racers Folk" down there in the NASCAR section are always talking about GGW and weird things.

Everyone is welcome in our community, and when you need a break from serious subjects, feel free to check in with GGW and enjoy yourself.
