We are on the Road Again - YES!!!
We left this afternoon at 3:30 pm heading north to Talladega, Alabama for the 3rd NASCAR RACE of the CHASE!! The last time we were on the road to a NASCAR race was in May - Far too long of a stretch between actually being at the track. I am definitely looking forward to being there in person, smelling the gas fumes as they start their engines and run this 2.66 mile super speedway. We crossed into Georgia at 6:30 p.m., stopped at the Welcome Center for a pit stop and a quick sandwich and then we were back on the road. There is a lot of road construction on I-75 with barricades and bumping roads, narrow lanes, and it is really dark too!
One good thing about going in this direction is that we gain an hour when we cross over the Alabama state line and move into Central Time Zone, so we will stop somewhere once we get on the north side of Atlanta and get few hours of shut-eye. I am sure I will be awake bright and early and we will be on the road again so that we can get to our specific camp spot and get all settled in before heading to the Track for Practice. We can sit anywhere we want to for Practice so I like to be at the starting point of Pit Road to watch and get pictures of the Cars coming on the Track.
Cully will be coming to meet and stay with us too. He will arrive sometime Friday evening, flying in from Oklahoma City into Birmingham and then driving to the Track.
It is a great day/evening for traveling. We can feel a cool breeze, the skies are clear and the promise of sunshine for the entire weekend is just what we wanted to here.
I'll have pictures to post after we arrive and get set up.
Have a great evening - More tomorrow.
