Good Times

Went out to the race track (Winchester Speedway) for the first time this year to hang out and watch a little racing action yesterday and got a little burnt from the experience. Bad thing is it's just the back of my legs and neck that got the most and yes they are a tad bit sore this morning. It was fun to hang out and talk with some of the old racing buddies and officials again after working with some of them for more than 10 years it still seems a bit wierd not being out there or traveling with the CRA every weekend but it was still alot of fun. Had some good racing and a few moments of where a driver must have had his helmet on too tight. Had a kid (we'll call 0)who is normally calm and collected lose his cool and eventually caused him to be DQ'd from the race and probably suspended for the next one. He got into another driver (we'll call him 24) and spun him out, so the officials told him to take his car to the pits to fix the damage, bad thing was the guy he spun out decided to drive up to him on the track and tell him what he thought of the incident and banged the side of the 0 car with his car which in turn obviously ticked the kid off and down the backstretch the 24 decided to come to an abrut halt in front of the 0 which in turn caused the 0 to hit the 24 and spin him out again. This really made the officials mad and told the 0 to park his car. Coming around the track again the 0 for whatever reason got one more shot in on the 24 and spun him out again and this REALLY made the officials mad. Then of course jokingly they blamed me for bring all this on since I haven't been there this year. It was fun and I'll probably be back out there on the Winchester 400 weekend which for all you race fans will once again include NASCAR drivers Kyle Busch and David Stremme. That will be fun.

It was good to come home from the track and see the family again after a nice little vacation for them. Its good to have them home. The only bad part of last night was the incredibly awful pizza we got from the Pizza King in town, note to self don't get pizza from uptown again.

Hope you called and complained to Pizza King--they have gotten so high priced and bad service. Too many choices out there--we don't need them. Glad family is all safe and sound back home. Mom
