Our Seats on Turn One

This is the view from our seats. We could see the entire two mile track. We had a great time. The trip was a lot of fun. I'd do it again.

On the way there Friday we came up on an accident that just happened. Bob and Dave were right there to aide the victims. I, being a last responder, stayed tucked away in the truck. It was a semi trailer full of saw dust vs a small car with a lady in it. The truck driver seemed fine. He had blood running down his face but was running around chasing his dog that got out of the truck when he laid it on it's side. The lady wasn't as lucky. She had quite a bleeding head and didn't know where she was or what day it was. She left in the ambulance. There was a lot of saw dust everywhere. That slowed us up almost an hour.

We also had a flat tire (discovered by a nice, drunk man at the track) and had to make several stops on the way home to keep air in it. But we hobbled it on home.

Saturday we stayed in a hotel with a lot of the pit crew members from several teams. They came in after working qualifying. We saw team members from Waltrip, Labonte, Hamilton Jr., Earnhart Jr., the new Fedex team and others (can't remember them all). That was kind of cool. My fellow friends asked me to please take off my #24 gear so we didn't end up in a brawl.
