Talladega Race Day -Weekend





What a Race! What else can you say? It was a typical Talladega Super Speedway Race with mini-"big-ones" and the "Big One", wreck that is.... Of the twelve Chase Drivers, only three were in the final laps. The Standings got shook up a little, but Jimmie Johnson is still the # 1 leader after 4 of the last 10 races. This week they head to Charlotte. It should be interesting as well.

We had a great time! We camped in Family Camp D - spot # 46, (new to us) under a little shade tree. Our seats were in the Tri-Oval Tower, Row 60. Yep, it was a hike up there! But what a view!! We could see the whole track and all of the Pit Road action. We were straight across from Gatorade Victory Circle, too.

Rudy and I went to Practice on Friday at Noon and Cully arrived Friday night. We had a great time and have pictures to prove it.

The drive home was long. Road construction on I-75 was awful and there were several wrecks that had us stopping and slowing down a couple of times. Then it rained just as we crossed over the Florida state line so hard that you couldn't see the road in front of you. We arrived home around 7:30 p.m., set up, took showers and was in bed by 9:30 prepared for another work week.


We've got lots of stuff going on this month. Something every weekend with Falling Leaves at Celebration and the Pumpkin patch this weekend, BiketOberfest in Daytona next, Atlanta Race the third weekend and then we head to Myrtle Beach, SC for the Gaither FanFest at the end of the month.


We will see you on the road, I am sure! Have fun! More later.
