Bristol, TN - Sharpie 500

WE ARE HERE! We arrived at the Track at 8:30 Friday morning after we stopped at a local WalMart to get our portion of the groceries for the weekend! We woke Cully up so he could give us specific directions to our campsite. The Site is Great! Way up on top of a mountain over looking the Track and Drag Strip. It is very quiet and clean.

After getting showers and exploring the area, we went down to the Track for Cup Practice. It is very hot here this weekend with temperatures in the 90's, a slight breeze in certain places and a hazy-sunny sky. Thankfully, since we are camping so high, there are golf-cart shuttles that take us to the showers and to the Track from our campsite.

Tonight is the Sharpie 500 NEXTEL Cup Race. We have great seats on the backstretch next to the Tunnel. We can see Victory Circle really well and of course the whole track (it's a 1/2 mile track). I made sure the guys know that I want to go early to get some pictures of the cars all lined up and also so that we can be in our seats for Driver introductions.

See ya at the Race!

On the Road Again -Destination-Bristol, TN

It's been awhile since I last updated here, but we've had a pretty quiet month of August. We are making some major changes in our lives these days, like moving into our RV full-time real soon, job changes, packing, selling, etc. Life is Good - Change is Good!

Today we are on our way to Bristol, TN to the NASCAR race there on Saturday Night. We left around 4:30 pm this afternoon and hope to be there where we will meet our friend Cully and stay with him at the Track in his RV. The weather is good for traveling this afternoon with mostly sunny skies and temps in the upper 90's, but cooling as the day is rounding to the end. We hope to make it to the South Carolina Welcome Center Rest Area, rest awhile and then be in Bristol tomorrow in time to watch some practice and Qualifying of the NASCAR Cup Cars.
Bristol is an experience that is hard to explain. But once you go, you are hooked and have to go back.
I'll be updating throughout the weekend and hopefully have pictures to share real soon too.
Keep Smiling and Travel Safe where ever you might be going!
