To Kill Some Time

To Kill some time until we hear from The Yeti again, WHY NOT play some Yeti Sports.  I don't know who these guys are, but they have tons of Yeti games.  You can check out their main site at www.yetisports.org

I found this think (without registration) of a Yeti and Penguin SeeSaw on the beach http://www.freeonlinegames.com/play/1098.html  It's pretty funny.

Apparently there are a lot of these penguin / yeti games out there.

We'll post soon.

Is The Yeti M.I.A.?

OK, we do know that Tom is somewhere outside Martinsville.  Where exactly?  We aren't sure.  Somehow he has ripped off his GPS tracking collar, and left it in Bristol.

We apologize for not posting much lately . . . and this is the reason I had to give an update, after reading Kathy's latest comment.

Dude are ya MIA? You're fans miss their yeti.  - Kathy

Actually Kathy the answer to your question is quite simple.  With the arrival of Spring every year, two very interesting phenomenons occur throughout North America.  Most of us know that Springtime is usually the best time of the year for sports; which is why most of us catch a bit of "Spring Fever" or come down with a two week spell of "March Madness" (where your symptoms persist until you realize you have no chance at winning your office poll).  However, most of us may not realize; that Springtime also marks the arrival of "Mating Season" for most of the Yetis in the Northern Hemisphere.  Leading me to believe, that Tom is currently somewhere in the backwoods near Martinsville, in search of the ever so lovely "Lady Yeti" (also known as - "The Midnight Howler").  In fact, according to the discovery channel, most Yetis become extremely irritated right after Hibernation (the off-season), and stay this way until Mating season is over, or at least until their aggression is worked out.  This is why most Yetis have a tendency to become very elusive in Spring, and a pain in the ass to track down.

We received an anonymous picture this week, and after extensive research, we do believe it is the latest shot of Tom Heading into the Appalachian Mountains (somewhere in VA).

In all Honesty . . . we haven't heard from Tom in about a week and a half.  We assume he is doing fine, but extremely busy helping Carl win Busch Races and maintaining his top 10 status in Nextel.

Last contact we had with Tom, was when he was en route to Atlanta.  He called saying that he had tons of pictures and stories, from events like the Playboy party in Vegas; Track Side shots; and even some pictures of he and Carl enjoying one of the rivers on their way back to Dixie.  Tom also promised to put all of these up from his laptop on the road.  But as you can tell, that didn't happen.  Personally, I think Tom is still a little scared of his laptop, and this whole new venture with technology.  Please be patient with Tom, because he is still pretty new at this.  I do know for a fact that he is getting pictures, video, etc. and as soon as we track him down, I will make sure he posts something for everyone to see. 

Edhead Nation and Yeti Supporters stay strong.

For now, go vote on the new Yeti poll to the left.

Busy in Vegas . . . and several Pics from the road

Carl had a good finish today in sixth place, to extend his lead over Denny Hamlin by 63 points in the Busch car.  The 99 goes tomorrow, and we expect a great showing, so stay tuned to your TVs.  As for now, I am busy as hell, but I wanted to show you some pics from the road.  This is us during a shoot for MAD TV (airing later this year), while we were in California.  Take a look, and root Carl on tomorrow, so I can get rid of this beard.

Vegas here we come baby!

Watch Party at D. Rowe's

We had a watch party at D. Rowe's last Sunday to watch Carl take over the point lead in the Busch series.  Here are a couple of pics from the event, one of myself (to give you an idea of the latest growth) and my encounter with Mike Messer, who is a huge Giacchi fan apparently.

Yeti News

A few things real quick . . .

• The New Name - Tom will now be referred to as simply "Tom Giacchi - The Yeti".  Thanks for all of you who voted, and the second poll obviously made the difference (with 60% voting for "The Yeti").  Also it reminds us to inform you, the the nascaryeti.com URL will remain active for a bit longer, but we will be switching everything to a new web address.  It is not currently linked up, but the new address will be (tomgiacchi.com) as well as (itsyetiseason.com). So we will let you know when those are active.
• For those of you who purchased "The NASCAR Yeti" gear from the website.  I don't think you'll have to return your items . . . unless NASCAR shows up at your door (which I doubt they will do) or they catch you wearing it at the track (still not likely).  In fact you may want to hold on to the merchandise you got.  There were only 19 items shipped in the two days the store was open.  Meaning, only 19 products were ever made with the NASCAR Yeti logo, period.
• BREAKING NEWS - YETI SPOTTING - If you're in Columbia right now, head up to D. Rowe's because Tom and The Clan are hanging out, watching Carl race below the border.
• In the Press - The Nascar Yeti received a little local press or web blurb on the "Carrie and Uncle" section of Clear 99's website.  Carrie and Uncle are the morning talent in Columbia, and they were covering Carl, and gave the Yeti a little love as well.  Here is the link to their site, so check it out.  Carrie and Uncle in the Morning on Clear 99.

The Voting is too close (please vote again)

The naming polls have been so close, that we decided to put up another poll that may give some separation, and a finalized name for Tom.  The Motorcoach Yeti and Simply "The Yeti" have been so close, that we decided to do a new poll, and put these two up against each other.  However, a third name has been added, "The Stock Car Yeti".  Please just vote again, and hopefully this time we can declare a winner.

Thanks,

The Yeti Staff

THE NASCAR YETI IS DEAD!!!!!

Don't worry, Tom is actually doing fine and dandy . . . however, the NASCAR is being dropped, in order to clarify the correct ownership of "The Yeti" character.  Tommy is not anyway affiliated with NASCAR, and in order to drop the confusion that has surfaced recently, we are deciding to drop the NASCAR out of the title.

I know some of you have already ordered Nascar Yeti gear, but the shop is now temporarily closed.  We will re-open soon . . . once the new "YETI" name is established.  This is where YOU as the viewers, come into play.  We want you to decide upon Tom's new name.  We thought of several different options for renaming "The Yeti", and have put them into an interactive poll to the left.  Go vote on the one you would like, and we will make the change over the weekend. 

You may also see some revamping of the site, and for those of you who subscribe by RSS, we may have to redo your subscriptions under the new name as well.  We will keep you infomed.  Thanks for the cooperation, and we look forward to seeing your input on the rename. 

Also, put your comments here, if you think of a name not listed on the poll.  We miss things occasionally.
