Let's Go Racin' Boys!
This last weekend we had the opportunity to do something that I have been wanting to do for almost three years now - go to a NASCAR race. For those who don't know, I have been watching NASCAR for a little over three years (yes, I watch every race; no, I don't think it's boring). Of all the ways to break the Sabbath, this ranks up there with the best of them, for sure.
We were given tickets by one of Jayne's close friends, Angie. We had seats on the 4th row from the track - we had a perfect view of the cars through turns 3 and 4. Not the greatest seats to watch the race (seats higher up would have given a better view of the entire track), but AWESOME seats to feel it. You have no concept of the intensity of the races until you have feel the wake of wind and rubber and debris hitting you in the face with full force! AWESOME.
I don't have pictures of the raceday food: I had a polish sausage for lunch, and then a Hot Rod Hot Dog for dinner: an all-beef hotdog topped with chooped beef brisket and jalepenos. I wish every night was race-food night...
Right now Blogger is having some issues FTPing my blog posts, so look for more pictures from the race in the next couple of days.
Yes, I am a Gordon fan. Don't ask why; I was born that way, I guess.
This is the crew sitting in our seats. (Looking back at these, I can't believe there aren't more beers in the picture.)
Karen, this Bud's for you. Go number 8! (Soon to be 88).
