Thursday.
So I had a coworker run me to the airport after work. Thank you Andrew! As you can see, I got to the gate pretty damn early.
And I don't care what they say anymore, but getting to the airport 2 hours before your flight is a joke. I guess I have been flying long enough to know how everything works, but DAMN . . . I was bored having to wait!
Some 3 hours and 20 odd minutes later . . .
I'm here . . . about damn time. The one positive I can take from this flight, is that US Airways parks at the A Concourse, so that saved me from a long walk, then the train, then another long walk, to get to ground transportation. Got off the plane, one long walk and I was there!
So my mom and dad picked me up. My mom drove her new Turbo Beetle Convertible, cool car, although she wouldn't let me drive it :(
Funny, this is the only picture I have of the car. And yes that is the real picture, at almost 9pm it was still 100 degrees!
Friday.
My transportation for the weekend to and from the speedway. My Dad's Chevy Avalanche.
Before practice started, I walked around the pits to see the cars up close, while they were clean . . . and in one piece! This weekend was rough on a few cars which you will see in later entries.
So crazy to see Sam's car without a major sponser plastered along the side of the car. But it's still great to see him competing without one.
Was very cool to see Chris Forsberg's Z in person. Has always been one of my favorite cars on the circuit. DA for life!
I was pretty excited to see DMac's Saturn, but came to find out later in the weekend, that the car couldn't compete. I still haven't read a confirmed reason for what happened to the car.
As the sun began to set, practice began . . .
Tanner Foust and the Rockstar Energy Drink Scion Tc.
Tyler McQuarrie and the Falken Tire 350Z
Ross Petty and the Rossta S15 along side Robby Nishida and the Hankook Tire 350Z
Justin Pawlak and the Bergenholtz Racing RX-8 along side Sam Hubinette and the Nuformz Viper
Daijiro Yoshihara and the Discount Tire Lexus IS.
Lastly we have Ken Gushi and the Rogue Status RS-R Scion Tc, lighting up his practice run with those famous purple headlights.
A bit of a cliffhanger to leave you on . . .Vaughn Gittin Jr's practice run.
