Talladega Here We Come!

October 5, 2007 It is a cloudy, misty Friday morning and Rudy & I are on I-75 heading North through Atlanta making our way to Talladega, Alabama for the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Race on Sunday. This is the third Race in the last 10 races of the Season. It will be the first race where the Drivers will be running the COT (Car of Tomorrow) on a SuperSpeedway Track (over 2.5 miles). Lots of exciting Racing is in store and we will be there to experience it all.
We are hoping to arrive in time to see some practice time today on the Track. I also have reservations to take a Garage Tour at 1:30 this afternoon with other ONMC members. It really should be a good time, as it is between practice times for the Cup cars, so I am hoping to be able to get some good pictures of the crews working on the cars and maybe a few Driver pics too!
We will have plenty of time to kill while here today as Cully doesn't plan to arrive until later this evening, so we might even take a tour of the museum that is right next to the Track. Of course we will be touring the Driver Merchandise Trailers as well looking for some bargains.

We left yesterday around 3:30 and stayed the night in Macon, GA in a very comfortable Comfort Inn. Got a good night's rest and a nice hot, long shower before a nutritious breakfast and hitting the road again.

Updates will be coming your way with pictures too. See ya on the Road!
Later
