Turkey hunting with an over/under?
I am looking forward to spring turkey season already, and don't really think a new gun is going to happen this year. |

Go for it. I've hunted turkeys with SxS and never had an issue. Just need to pattern them like any other turkey gun. While they only give you two shots, the second shot is as fast as an auto-loader. My experiene has been, if it takes you more than two shots, the bird is gone anyway.
Guns are like Harleys and women.....you can never have too many. Theiyr're...........take that Grammar Nazis! |

If you only have one gun you don't really have a choice if you want to hunt.
Plus, you might be able to use different shot sizes in the barrels. You never said what your setup is, but if you have choke tubes maybe #6 in the full for a head shot and #4 in the modified in case you miss and he's running or flying. Laphroaig |

Recent marketing studies have shown that if you're turkey hunting with a gun that is 1.) not garishly camouflaged, and 2. is not equipped with a high-dollar optic that blocks the iron/bead sight, you aren't going to see a turkey, let alone shoot one. That being said, turkeys don't read marketing studies.

It wasn't that long ago when your average hunter would use the same shotgun for everything from doves to deer and everything in between. As long as it puts the pattern where you point it, there is no disadvantage to using your O/U. Most Turkeys are put down with one shot.

An O/U would work just fine. I've never had to take a second shot at a turkey and the odds of needing more than two are remote. Frpm watching the reaction of other birds, either they are gone instantly or they hang around wondering what the loud noise was long enough for you to reload.

A double could offer several advantages. Having 2 different chokes for different situations and a shorter overall length and still having a longer barrel for improved velocity.
The biggest disadvantage is that turkey are shot like a rifle with very tight patterns. Almost all doubles, SXS and O/U shoot each barrel to different points. Usually not enough to matter with large patterns and wingshooting. But it could create a miss at longer ranges and tight patterns. I'd pattern each barrel and know where they hit at various ranges. Most doubles are quite expensive and turkey hunting can be hard on a gun. Pumps are most commonly used because they are cheap and lighter than most other styles. But there have been a few attempts to market a double designed for turkey |

Ammunition is more important than the gun as long as you use a full choke and know how the gun patterns at various ranges. A modified choke can be used for closer shots. I wouldn't shoot at a turkey if I didn't know I could disable or kill the bird with one shot. My favorite turkey load for years has been Winchester XX Magnum with #4 copper plated shot. I shoot 12 gauge 2 3/4 inch shells and regularly kill turkeys at 50 yards. Some hunters frown at shooting turkeys at 50 yards but if you live in a region with lots of turkeys to hunt and are confident in your ability it works well. Hunting with a shinny shotgun is not that difficult either, just keep the muzzle pointed toward the bird when it approaches. That way they don't see the gun from the side. You must wear full camo with gloves and a face mask. If you have to move your body or the gun on a turkey as it approaches it works to do the move at normal speed, because a turkey can pick up on a slow movement just as quickly as a quicker movement.

I'll definitely plan on using it this spring.
As far as chokes it came with a set of 5, and I have been using number 3 and 4 for dove hunting, which I believe to be a modified and improved cyl. I'll definitely pattern it out soon, it's not a greatly expensive gun, but was a gift from my grandfather so it is worth something to me. |

My Dad killed a ton of turkeys with a SxS Savage Fox back in the day. I don't see why a O/U wouldn't do just as well.

I took a turkey with a single shot .410 one spring. I called him so close I thought he was going to brush against me, then when he strutted a few feet away I nailed him with a clean head shot.

An O/U works fine and sometimes even better because of two chokes or different loads. The only advice that I can give is to pattern both barrels. Sometimes a double barrel doesn't pattern both barrels to the same point of impact. No biggie unless the bird is in you face. Then you need to know exactly where the the load is going. I once shot a bird so close that I shot the front half of his beak off.

I probably killed 100 turkeys with an O/U through HS and college. It was the only 12 g I had and some of them I killed with the same loads I used for dove hunting. I knew I had to let the bird get real close. Back then I didn't have the knowledge or money to buy the latest and greatest so I used what I had.
I moved to a Remington 1100 after I got married because that's what all the guys in my deer club had for our deer drives. By then I did at least know enough to buy the correct ammo. I now use the same gun for turkey that I use for ducks, the Beretta A391. 3 1/2" magnum shells and most of the time I still let them get close before I shoot them. I have no interest in shooting a dumb bird at 60 yards. I want them inside 20 if possible and most of the time I just let them walk if they hang up at 40. I also have no interest in ambushing a turkey. I LOVE finding them on the roost and trying to call them in.

My idea of an over/under turkey gun is my Savage 24 .22 mag/20 gauge. This season I was squirrel hunting when a flock of turkeys walked across the trail about 60 yds. away. I let them cross into the woods then flanked them for about 20 minutes. I could see them in a clearing feeding about 100 yds. They were moving toward me and since I was wearing orange I felt I better take the shot at 80 yds. I put the cross hairs on the biggest one right at the throat. The .22 mag did a number on it, DRT. I thought I may have damaged a lot of meat with that ballistic tip but not so. It went in through the crop and exited through the wing joint. Must have passed through the vitals, not a bit of meat wasted.

Any shotgun will work as long as you know and work within the limitations of the gun. My son took his first turkey with a single shot bolt action 410. I think it was a shot of 1/2 oz #4 from about 7 yards and it was KO'd.

It only takes one shot to kill a turkey, the second shot is for just in case.
You are good to go with the o/u, although I do prefer the sxs.

The problem is than some don't want to do their homework and fire shots down range to find out what their limitations are. |

Super Bowl I, a 35-21 win by the Green Packers over the Kansas City Chiefs on Jan. 15, 1967, at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, wasn't known as "the Super Bowl" at the time, but rather was referred to as the First AFL-NFL World Championship Game.

The 1985 Chicago Bears (AKA "Da Bears") are remembered for their hit song "The Super Bowl Shuffle" as well as their stingy defense. The team topped off their 15-1 regular season record with a 46-10 drubbing of the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XX played on Jan. 26, 1986, at the Superdome in New Orleans. Coach Mike Ditka was carried off the field by several players, including William "Refrigerator" Perry.

The most lopsided Super Bowl in history was followed by the tightest, as the New York Giants beat the favored Buffalo Bills 20-19 in Super Bowl XXV at Tampa Stadium on Jan. 27, 1991. That event was also notable for being played during the Persian Gulf War; Whitney Houston's rendition of the "Star-Spangled Banner" is often cited as one of the best.

WoW as a channel for news from Iran?
Jun 22nd 2009 5:19AM (WoW)I've been following the events in Iran with great interest, but I find this article to be a bit pointless.

If you want to bring more awareness to what's going on, I'm all for it, but this seemed like a hamfisted attempt to shoehorn it in and still be peripherally about WoW.

Yes please explain that one. I am testing the removal on a couple smaller sites to see what happens. I won't remove it on the big site just in case. Also didn't you state: "I suspect that sitemaps is having problems and this is what caused the site to lose pages in G index. The site is 100% white hat and has been triple checked --no spam or any other reason it should get penalized." Again why are you removing analytics? I just got the code a couple of days ago and we have been experiencing these problems LONG before applying the simple javascript. [edited by: arubicus at 7:49 pm (utc) on May 12, 2006]
Why not remove it?

Basement wall insulation / remodel question
Not sure if this belongs here, or in the remodel section, as it covers both sort of.
Basement has 3 rooms, one of which was finished out at time of construction ( 1960 ) or sometime after, but no later than 1967. Foundation is 8"x16" concrete block with about a block and a half extending above grade around the entire perimeter. Room in question has one exterior wall with the other "exterior wall" running parallel to the garage while the remaining two are interior walls. They were finished with 1X2 furring strips nailed to the block and cheapo thin wood paneling nailed to that. No insulation, no vapor barrier of any kind. I'd like to rip it all down and drywall back to the existing furring strips. In reading all the threads and such on basement insulation, I take it that minimum code is R11? 1" rigid foam board isn't going to cut it...LOL Reason, two reasons actually, for wanting to go this route are as follows - house has hot water BB heat, room in question is 35' long and there's a radiator that runs the entire length ( cannot imagine what a new 35' radiator would cost?? ), oh, and that is 90 degreed to another ( along the garage wall ) that's about 12' long. I don't really want to get involved in cutting those out, moving them, and having the copper re-run/soldered. Other reason is electric, the original electrical switches/outlets were wired down through the block cavities, and I understand any change to the wiring needs to be up to new code. Basement is sunken with areaway, other two rooms have exposed block, nothing on the walls. And while it's winter here ( Hanover PA ), basement is bone dry, I've had a humidistat down there for a couple months and it's never gotten above 33%. Currently reading a lip chapping 27%. My old house in VA, as a counterpoint, would never get below 35% even with a dehumidifier running full bore. Is there anything wrong, or potentially illegal, to simply slapping up 1" XPS between the furring strips with drywall over that? Basement has always been "warm" with all the copper piping snaking through the unfinished sections.....almost 50 linear feet of radiator helps too....LOL Last edited by Chokingdogs; 03-11-2013 at 01:16 PM. |

Basement wall insulation / remodel question
Current code here in CT (Zone 5) is R-10 continuous or R-13 in cavity.
Doing it right the first time is my suggestion...but I won't be showing up for any inspections I am in the midst of a similar renovation with a similar issue of the baseboards. I came this conclusion: 50' of baseboard is EXTREMELY excessive for the space once you've provided a continuous R-10 envelope and safe wiring in a "potential" moisture-zone is a no-brainer. So, I suggest you rip it all out, salvage the baseboards and reduce the amount to a reasonable level given the new thermal envelope. Use the opportunity to run some new electrical with proper grounding, etc. In the end it's a little more work, but it'll be 100% to code, save you energy ($$$), and you'll have the satisfaction of a job done right...

Basement wall insulation / remodel question
Don't remove too much of that baseboard. If you have a condensing boiler, that excessive length is letting you heat the room at a temp that will let you condense at the boiler to squeeze out that last 8-10% of its efficiency.
You can have it good, fast or cheap. Pick two. |

SECTION I.The History of Magna Carta.In order to judge of the object and meaning of that chapter of Magna Carta which secures the trial by jury, it is to be borne in mind that, at the time of Magna Carta, the king (with exceptions immaterial to this discussion, but which will appear hereafter) was, constitutionally, the entire government; the sole legislative, judicial, and executive power of the nation. The executive and judicial officers were merely his servants, appointed by him, and removable at his pleasure. In addition to this, "the king himself often sat in his court, which always attended his person. He there heard causes, and pronounced judgment; and though he was assisted by the advice of other members, it is not to be imagined that a decision could be obtained contrary to his inclination or opinion."* Judges were in those days, and afterwards, such abject servants of the king, that "we find that King Edward I. (1272 to 1307) fined and imprisoned his judges, in the same manner as Alfred the Great, among the Saxons, had done before him, by the sole exercise of his authority."† Parliament, so far as there was a parliament, was a mere council of the king.* It assembled only at the pleasure of the king; sat only during his pleasure; and when sitting had no power, so far as general legislation was concerned, beyond that of simply advising the king. The only legislation to which their assent was constitutionally necessary, was demands for money and military services for extraordinary occasions. Even Magna Carta itself makes no provisions whatever for any parliaments, except when the king should want means to carry on war, or to meet some other extraordinary necessity.† He had no need of parliaments to raise taxes for the ordinary purposes of government; for his revenues from the rents of the crown lands and other sources, were ample for all except extraordinary occasions. Parliaments, too, when assembled, consisted only of bishops, barons, and other great men of the kingdom, unless the king chose to invite others.‡ There was no House of Commons at that time, and the people had no right to be heard, unless as petitioners.§ Even when laws were made at the time of a parliament, they were made in the name of the king alone. Sometimes it was inserted in the laws, that they were made with the consent or advice of the bishops, barons, and others assembled; but often this was omitted. Their consent or advice was evidently a matter of no legal importance to the enactment or validity of the laws, but only inserted, when inserted at all, with a view of obtaining a more willing submission to them on the part of the people. The style of enactment generally was, either "The King wills and commands," or some other form significant of the sole legislative authority of the king. The king could pass laws at any time when it pleased him. The presence of a parliament was wholly unnecessary. Hume says, "It is asserted by Sir Harry Spelman, as an undoubted fact, that, during the reigns of the Norman princes, every order of the king, issued with the consent of his privy council, had the full force of law."* And other authorities abundantly corroborate this assertion.† The king was, therefore, constitutionally the government; and the only legal limitation upon his power seems to have been simply the Common Law, usually called "the law of the land," which he was bound by oath to maintain; (which oath had about the same practical value as similar oaths have always had.) This "law of the land" seems not to have been regarded at all by many of the kings, except so far as they found it convenient to do so, or were constrained to observe it by the fear of arousing resistance. But as all people are slow in making resistance, oppression and usurpation often reached a great height; and, in the case of John, they had become so intolerable as to enlist the nation almost universally against him; and he was reduced to the necessity of complying with any terms the barons saw fit to dictate to him. It was under these circumstances, that the Great Charter of English Liberties was granted. The barons of England, sustained by the common people, having their king in their power, compelled him, as the price of his throne, to pledge himself that he would punish no freeman for a violation of any of his laws, unless with the consent of the peers—that is, the equals—of the accused. The question here arises, Whether the barons and people intended that those peers (the jury) should be mere puppets in the hands of the king, exercising no opinion of their own as to the intrinsic merits of the accusations they should try, or the justice of the laws they should be called on to enforce? Whether those haughty and victorious barons, when they had their tyrant king at their feet, gave back to him his throne, with full power to enact any tyrannical laws he might please, reserving only to a jury ("the country") the contemptible and servile privilege of ascertaining, (under the dictation of the king, or his judges, as to the laws of evidence), the simple fact whether those laws had been transgressed? Was this the only restraint, which, when they had all power in their hands, they placed upon the tyranny of a king, whose oppressions they had risen in arms to resist? Was it to obtain such a charter as that, that the whole nation had united, as it were, like one man, against their king? Was it on such a charter that they intended to rely, for all future time, for the security of their liberties? No. They were engaged in no such senseless work as that. On the contrary, when they required him to renounce forever the power to punish any freeman, unless by the consent of his peers, they intended those peers should judge of, and try, the whole case on its merits, independently of all arbitrary legislation, or judicial authority, on the part of the king. In this way they took the liberties of each individual—and thus the liberties of the whole people—entirely out of the hands of the king, and out of the power of his laws, and placed them in the keeping of the people themselves. And this it was that made the trial by jury the palladium of their liberties. The trial by jury, be it observed, was the only real barrier interposed by them against absolute despotism. Could this trial, then, have been such an entire farce as it necessarily must have been, if the jury had had no power to judge of the justice of the laws the people were required to obey? Did it not rather imply that the jury were to judge independently and fearlessly as to everything involved in the charge, and especially as to its intrinsic justice, and thereon give their decision, (unbiased by any legislation of the king,) whether the accused might be punished? The reason of the thing, no less than the historical celebrity of the events, as securing the liberties of the people, and the veneration with which the trial by jury has continued to be regarded, notwithstanding its essence and vitality have been almost entirely extracted from it in practice, would settle the question, if other evidences had left the matter in doubt. Besides, if his laws were to be authoritative with the jury, why should John indignantly refuse, as at first he did, to grant the charter, (and finally grant it only when brought to the last extremity,) on the ground that it deprived him of all power, and left him only the name of a king? He evidently understood that the juries were to veto his laws, and paralyze his power, at discretion, by forming their own opinions as to the true character of the offences they were to try, and the laws they were to be called on to enforce; and that "the king wills and commands" was to have no weight with them contrary to their own judgments of what was intrinsically right.* The barons and people having obtained by the charter all the liberties they had demanded of the king, it was further provided by the charter itself that twenty-five barons should be appointed by the barons, out of their number, to keep special vigilance in the kingdom to see that the charter was observed, with authority to make war upon the king in case of its violation. The king also, by the charter, so far absolved all the people of the kingdom from their allegiance to him, as to authorize and require them to swear to obey the twenty-five barons, in case they should make war upon the king for infringement of the charter. It was then thought by the barons and people, that something substantial had been done for the security of their liberties. This charter, in its most essential features, and without any abatement as to the trial by jury, has since been confirmed more than thirty times; and the people of England have always had a traditionary idea that it was of some value as a guaranty against oppression. Yet that idea has been an entire delusion, unless the jury have had the right to judge of the justice of the laws they were called on to enforce. [* ] 1 Home, Appendix 2. [† ] Crabbe's History of the English Law, 236. [* ]Coke says, "The king of England is armed with divers councils, one whereof is called commune concilium, (the common council,) and that is the court of parliament, and so it is legally called in writs and judicial proceedings commune concilium regni Angliæ, (the common council of the kingdom of England.) And another is called magnum concilium, (great council;) this is sometimes applied to the upper house of parliament, and sometimes, out of parliament time, to the peers of the realm, lords of parliament, who are called magnum concilium regis, (the great council of the king;) * * Thirdly, (as every man knoweth,) the king hath a privy council for matters of state. * * The fourth council of the king are his judges for law matters." 1 Coke's Institutes, 110 a. [† ] The Great Charter of Henry III., (1216 and 1225,) confirmed by Edward I., (1297,) makes no provision whatever for, or mention of, a parliament, unless the provision, (Ch. 37,) that "Escuage, (a military contribution,) from henceforth shall be taken like as it was wont to be in the time of King Henry our grandfather," mean that a parliament shall be summoned for that purpose. [‡ ] The Magna Carta of John, (Ch. 17 and 18,) defines those who were entitled to be summoned to parliament, to wit, "The Archbishops, Bishops, Abbots, Earls, and Great Barons of the Realm, * * and all others who hold of us in chief." Those who held land of the king in chief included none below the rank of knights. [§ ] The parliaments of that time were, doubtless, such as Carlyle describes them, when he says, "The parliament was at first a most simple assemblage, quite cognate to the situation; that Red William, or whoever had taken on him the terrible task of being King of England, was wont to invite, oftenest about Christmas time, his subordinate Kinglets, Barons as he called them, to give him the pleasure of their company for a week or two; there, in earnest conference all morning, in freer talk over Christmas cheer all evening, in some big royal hall of Westminster, Winchester, or wherever it might be, with log fires, huge rounds of roast and boiled, not lacking malmsey and other generous liquor, they took counsel concerning the arduous matters of the kingdom." [* ] Hume, Appendix 2. [† ] This point will be more fully established hereafter. [* ] It is plain that the king and all his partisans looked upon the charter as utterly prostrating the king's legislative supremacy before the discretion of juries. When the schedule of liberties demanded by the barons was shown to him, (of which the trial by jury was the most important, because it was the only one that protected all the rest,) "the king, falling into a violent passion, asked, Why the barons did not with these exactions demand his kingdom? * * and with a solemn oath protested, that he would never grant such liberties as would make himself a slave." * * But afterwards, "seeing himself deserted, and fearing they would seize his castles, he sent the Earl of Pembroke and other faithful messengers to them, to let them know he would grant them the laws and liberties they desired." * * But after the charter had been granted, "the king's mercenary soldiers, desiring war more than peace, were by their leaders continually whispering in his ears, that he was now no longer king, but the scorn of other princes; and that it was more eligible to be no king, than such a one as he." * * He applied "to the Pope, that he might by his apostolic authority make void what the barons had done. * * At Rome he met with what success he could desire, where all the transactions with the barons were fully represented to the Pope, and the Charter of Liberties shown to him, in writing; which, when be had carefully perused, he, with a furious look, cried out, What! Do the barons of England endeavor to dethrone a king, who has taken upon him the Holy Cross, and is under the protection of the Apostolic See; and would they force him to transfer the dominions of the Roman Church to others? By St. Peter, this injury must not pass unpunished. Then debating the matter with the cardinals, he, by a definitive sentence, damned and cassated forever the Charter of Liberties, and sent the king a bull containing that sentence at large."—Echard's History of England, p. 106-7. These things show that the nature and effect of the charter were well understood by the king and his friends; that they all agreed that he was effectually stripped of power. Yet the legislative power had not been taken from him; but only the power to enforce his laws, unless juries should freely consent to their enforcement. |

I am still being represented by Julia for a custody matter. As another member of the bar, I know a good lawyer when I deal with one. Julia is phenomenial in her insight in family law, knowledge of the Centre County bar members (opposing counsel, family services, etc.) and in keeping up to date on the changes relevant to this area.

Perpignan (Catalan: Perpinyà) is a city in the south of France. It is also a commune and the capital of the Pyrénées-Orientales department. Perpignan was the capital of the old province and county of Roussillon (Rosselló in Catalan) and continental capital of the Kingdom of Majorca in the 13th and 14th centuries.
Perpignan was named, from 2001, as a City Art and History (French: Ville d'Art et d'Histoire) by the French Ministry of Culture and Communication.[1][2]
Name of the city[change | edit source]
Perpignan is mentioned in a document from 927 as Villa Perpinianum.[3]. Later, there are other, but similar, names:
- Villa Perpiniano (959)
- Pirpinianum (11th century)
- Perpiniani (1176)
- Perpenyà (13th century); this form was the most common until the 15th century and was used even during the 17th century.[4]
In Catalan, the regional language of the Pyrénées-Orientales, the name of the city is Perpinyà.[5]
History[change | edit source]
Middle Ages[change | edit source]
The medieval town of Perpignan seems to have been founded around the beginning of the 10th century (first mentioned in a document as villa Perpinianum in 927). Soon Perpignan became the capital of the County[N 1] of Roussillon. The last Count of Rossillon, Girard II, gave his lands in 1172 to the King of Aragón and Count of Barcelona.
Perpignan was made a partly self-governing commune in 1197. The French king Louis IX gave the Roussillon to the Kingdom of Aragón by the Treaty of Corbeil (1258).[6]
Kingdom of Majorca[change | edit source]
When James I the Conqueror, king of Aragon and count of Barcelona, founded in 1229 the Kingdom of Majorca, Perpignan became the capital of the territory on the mainland. This continued from 1278 to 1344. The Castle of the Kings of Majorca (French: Palais des rois de Majorque) was built during this period. The different parts of the kingdom were the Balearic Islands, Northern Catalonia (Roussillon and Cerdagne) and the coastal area of Montpellier.
This period is considered the golden age in the history of the city. Perpignan became an important center of cloth industry, leather and goldsmiths' and other crafts.[6]
Principality of Catalonia[change | edit source]
In 1344 Peter IV of Aragon took the Kingdom of Majorca and Perpignan once more became part of the County of Barcelona. A few years later Perpignan lost approximately half of its population to the Black Death. Perpignan was attacked and occupied by Louis XI of France in 1463, but in 1493 Charles VIII of France gave it back to Ferdinand II of Aragon.[6]
Again Perpignan was taken by the French during the Thirty Years' War in September 1642. Perpignan was finally given by Spain to France, and from then on it is part of France.[6]
Coat of arms[change | edit source]
The coat of arms of Perpignan shows, as is the case in other cities in the region, the patron saint of the city. Here St John the Baptist is represented in front of the Catalan colours (yellow and red) with a lamb and a Christian cross in his hands, and walking above water.[7]
Geography[change | edit source]
Perpignan is at the centre of Roussillon, and old province organized around an agricultural plain.[2] The city is at approximately 15 km (9 mi) from the Mediterranean Sea and about 60 km (37 mi) from the Pyrenees mountain range.
Perpignan is in the valley of the Têt river, in the Roussillon plain which is bordered to the south by the Pyrenees, to the west by the region of Corbières and to the east by the Mediterranean Sea. The old city is on the right side of the Têt river, where the small river La Basse meets the Têt.
It is the southernmost of the great cities of metropolitan France (French: France métropolitaine).
The cities of Pia and Cabestany are now part of Perpignan, while Bompas, Saleilles, Canohès, Toulouges, Le Soler, Baho, Saint-Estève and Rivesaltes are all close to the city limits. Nearest cities are Narbonne to the north (65 km), Montpellier towards the northeast (150 km), Barcelona to the south (190 km) and Toulouse to the northwest (200 km). The distance to Paris is 850 km (528 mi).
Climate[change | edit source]
The climate of Perpignan is a warm Mediterranean climate (Köppen climate classification Cfa), with mild winters and dry summers and warm.[8]
The average temperature for the year in Perpignan is 15.6°C (60.0°F). The warmest month, on average, is July with an average temperature of 23.9°C (75.0°F). The coolest month on average is January, with an average temperature of 8.3°C (47.0°F).

Sprint Nextel is driving its sponsorship of a NASCAR Nextel Cup Series race in Michigan this month with a sweeps that gives the state's residents a chance to win a trip to the event and receive racing merchandise.
The Nextel Cup Series Ultimate Fan Weekend sweeps will give two lucky winners (one each from East and West Michigan) the opportunity to take three guests to the Michigan International Speedway, where they will stay in a fully catered, luxury motor coach at trackside during the June 16-18 races. Winners will also receive Nextel Cup Series merchandise, tickets to all three races and VIP passes.
Michigan race fans enter the promotion by visiting Sprint and Nextel stores in Detroit, Ann Arbor, Flint and other locations throughout the state. The contest ends June 9, with winners selected from store drawings on June 12.
"With the growing support and enthusiasm for Nextel Cup racing in Michigan, Sprint is pleased to announce the Nextel Cup Series Ultimate Fan Weekend contest, which delivers on our promise to bring fans closer to the sport," said Glen Flowers, Sprint VP-Michigan, in a statement. "This sweepstakes will give two race fans an entirely new and interactive experience that will truly bring to life the sport of racing for the winners, their friends and family."
Sprint is also bringing the Nextel Cup Series Pit Stop Tour to the state with five stops at retail store locations in June. The tour gives fans the opportunity to experience a live-action racing simulator, meet local on-air personalities, get racing merchandise, demo Sprint Nextel's products and enter the sweeps. A pair of tickets to the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series race on June 18 will be given away by Michigan International Speedway during the tour.
