World Record for Synchronized Snoring - Fantasy Insight California Fall Race
Last week at Bristol Motor Speedway history was made with the world record wave of 168,000 fans! What can California Speedway do to establish a world record this weekend? Perhaps they can set an all time world record for most cases of heat exhaustion! If wild fires break out at the right time maybe the world record for smoke inhalation cases. How about the world record for the most empty seats in a stadium? There are so many possible records that could be set at California Speedway of Southern California in the United States of America on the Planet Earth Speedway, but none of them is likely to convey a positive message for future fans. Thank goodness NASCAR made the switch of this race to a better time of the season. Unfortunately that means this Fall Lack of Classic will be a Chase for the Championship race in 2009. After the debacle with the weeping turns in February I have the perfect way to earn a World Record. Maybe we can set a new record for the most bulldozers racing in a line to demolish this place so we never have to suffer through another race at the Auto Parts Auto Club Super Speedway of Southern California in Fontana California Speedway Speedway. But this week as millions of race fans from coast to coast fall asleep because of the lack of excitement a new world record for synchronized snoring will be set!
