Talladega Bound

Chapter One: It is 7:45 pm and we are on the road to Talladega, AL for the NASCAR Race on Sunday. We've gone 133 miles so far and we left around 5:30 by the time we stopped for gas and got out of the Apopka traffic. We are making good time now- traveling about 70 m.p.h. in this first real road trip in the new RV. We will be stopping later this evening to get some shut-eye for a few hours and then up bright and early so that we can be at the Track and set up in our Camp spot before Cully arrives from Tennessee.
So far the weather has been great. Blue, sunny skies and temps in the mid-80's and a nice breeze coming through the Coach as we travel down the road.
We don't really have an specific plans for tomorrow at the track other than maybe try to get some tickets to go to Cup Practice and get to the SPEED Stage to watch as they tape the shows for airing. I've got a schedule and so I will try to keep these guys in line and active!! This Race is an impound Race so that means that they will practice tomorrow and then Qualify on Saturday and then the cars are put in the Garage Stalls until Sunday for the Race.
No working on the Cars after they Qualify this weekend!
The weather is showing some rain showers on Saturday, but again we don't have any specific plans for that day, so I will try to sleep in some and let the guys lounge around that day!
I will be keeping a log of when we reach certain travel markers and try to get pictures of the STATE signs as we come to the borders. (i'll add them later to this page).
