Yep, definitely nice to see Burton back in the winner's circle. If there is one guy who I'd like to see finish second behind GORDON, it is Burton. grin.gifgrin.gif

Nice freakin' post-race coverage by TNT again! mad.gif Cripes, they interview Burton (expected), they interview Kenseth (expected), they interview Johnson (expected), then they go and interview Kurt Bush and Clint Boyer. confused.gif What the he!!???? Let's not interview Gordon who for the 2nd week in a row finishes 3rd and moves up 2 spots in the points chase from 4th to 2nd and from 50 points out to only 6 points out! Bush and Boyer...that's just dumb! Then they cut it off so that they can show the "acadamy award winning oscar nominated" Kill Bill Vol. 1 movie. confused.gif Great priority there TNT! The most popular and rapidly growing sport in the nation and you interview Bush and Boyer then you end the show. Real smart thinking there.

Ugh I hate that station! Can't wait until next year!!!

I agree with how sucky that was except it was Edwards and Busch, not Boyer...

Interviewed 1, 2 4 and 10 and also 13 or 14th or wherever Johnson finished. VERY STRANGE. Why not Gordon like you mentioned, but also, what about Biffle he was fifth. And Bobby Labonte was 7th, THAT'S a story!

They stink!

Oh yeah, that's right it was Edwards.

They should be interviewing the top 5, then if anyone "unusual" that makes the top 10 and also all 10 of the chase contenders.

Very poor coverage. If I remember, they didn't even show who finished 1st - 10th as they came to the line at the end of the race. They only showed like 1st and 2nd.

I would say behind the 31 winning that the 43 was the story.

Always like Bobby and thought he was a good interview. It may have been the rain that kept some of the other guy's in there trailers.

The rain probably made everyone run for cover before any interviews were given immediately after the race. Sounded like thunder in the background too, so I'm sure they didn't have much confidence sticking their antennas up in the air just to get the same old story we've heard for 27 weeks already for the sake of getting zapped.....good race, team was great, thanks to sponsor x,y, and z. blah blah blah....

I do have an issue with NBC/TNT's post race coverage as a whole though as they usually don't do a very good job. Fox can do that too sometimes. They only way to get a good race recap is to watch the SPEED show later on.

Very cool to see Jeff back in the Winners Circle!

I think TNT was trying to squeeze in the normal Top 5, plus the Chase drivers. In doing that, they had to leave out someone.

The show on SPEED with Kenny and Jimmy was funny as heck, they were getting blasted with rain and wind!

      As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...

      Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?

      I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.

      Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
