Finished Friday up with an Arca Race

While still infield we were able to wonder around and see Victory Lane and the pitboxes etc.

After we left the infield we visited the Chevy booth.  Jimmy had a car there.

They had a cancer awareness Camero displayed.

Jr. had a car there.

Jr. also had a car in the National Guard booth.

The ARCA race that Friday was Kansas Speedway's first ever night race under the lights.

The #55 Toyota driven by Alex Bowman from Tucson AZ took the checkered flag.  He did quite a burn out after crossing the finish line.

After the ARCA race Jackyl performed a concert.  It was a very full day.

Up Close and Personal

Wow... can you believe I took this photo of Jeff ...right there in front of me?  Me either...... I can see his eyes.  He's very possibly looking right at me.

Oh you...haven't you crashed yet?

Matt Kenseth coming out of the potty.  Hope he washed his hands.

Carl Edwards

Asshole Busch (firery crash..firery crash... don't know how to spell it but I sure know how to chant it when this dude goes by)

Chad Knaus...very possibly the best crew chief in the history of Nascar.  Wish he'd fall off there, take a bump to the head and take a couple years off.  He has a breast cancer awareness hat on, which is very cool.

Cat in the Hat.... Jack Rousch

Hi Dale Jr.

Kansas Speedway Fanwalk

On Friday we got to go infield on the Fanwalk.

Didn't get any autographs but saw quite a few drivers up close.  We were there during practice and they didn't have time to stop and chat with us I guess.

Breakfast at Kansas Speedway

Kansas Speedway camping sometimes includes french toast and a breakfast beer.

Kansas Speedway - Thursday Oct 6th

We arrived at Kansas Speedway Thursday October 6th.  Right out of the box we found some folks that had an entire bar setup.  Just so happened they are from Cambridge MN.  The entertained us with several of their treats.  We stumbled back to our site several hours later.

That evening was the hauler parade.  These trucks are huge.  They have two race cars and everything needed to work on those cars in there.

Makita and his new friend Larry from Cambridge are big Jimmy fans.  Almost got themselves run over.

Camping in Walker

Last weekend I went up to Walker and went camping on my cousin Cindy's property.  The weather was perfect.  Here's my friend Ellie and my cousin Shelly kicking back and chewing the fat.

Cindy built us a fire pit.  Both Friday and Saturday night we had a nice campfire.

Looks like cocktail hour.

Sunday morning we made a big breakfast and cousin Jodi showed up in her pj's to partake.

Leaving the BWCA - Day 5

On the last day we got up early and broke camp.  We had to do the reverse trip out, including rice paddy and push pull over rocks.  It actually seemed like the water was even lower than when we went in a few days prior.  Right now that portgage is closed due to a big wildfire that is burning up there.  It was burning when we were there but now it's gotten out of control.
