Eric and I went to the Tums Fast Relief 500 at Martinsville Va today. Quite a day it was as we had all access passes and went down on the race track to look in on pit road.
Of course we were not the only ones looking in, but we were not as well dressed as most on pit road as most sport identifiable brands of something or other. from soup to nuts, it is on the side of a race car and on a piece of clothing.
and the faithful do arrive, in numbers that can be described as lots and lots
The youngster on your right is Danny Hamlin, the guy who actually won the race and wearer of FedEx racing colors. He came up to our "corporate suite" to meet with us and discuss pre-race strategy. Eric asked if he was sure he could get his car started.
This is us, notice that we are not wearing our Obama for President pins.
our suite,is on top of the stands in the distance in the photo above.
and this was our view- and below is my shinny head right there on the front row.
You want loud-- down here on the end of the home-stretch-straight-away -- hoh haa - no napping down here. Even with plugs in your ears, it was loud.
Now up in our suite, this guy to our left - well it was a Sunday afternoon.
glad you had a nice time! i enjoyed the photos :)
ReplyDeleteWow! What a neat thing to do. Will is totally jealous you got to go to a REAL race. He loves Lightning McQueen and the whole Cars movie so that was right up his alley.
ReplyDeleteHadn't had a chance to talk to dad yet and see if you two had a good time. From the looks of the pictures you must have! Did he really ask the driver if he was going to be able to start his car??
