Brad's garage does sound pretty awesome, If he would ever get it cleaned up maybe we could see it.

I had fun this weeked as well. A friend got some extra tickets and we were at both Saturday's race and the cup race on Sunday. He got some killer good seats too, not sure how though. We were on the first row, right next to the track, at the entrance to turn 1. Those cars were around 200 MPH as they flew past us. I've been to some cup races before, but never that close. It was a good time, but I'm definately worn out today.

I've been to six races so far. Two in Phoenix, which sucks. Once at Daytona, totally rocked and three at Texas Speedway. I liked the Texas races the best. My brother in law was a district sales rep for Raybestos so we had seats in their VIP tent and got to go through the pits prior to the race. It was really awesome!!

I had a similar deal at Texas earlier this year. The guy I went with had some GM passes that gave us some food and such at their hospitality tent right outside the track, as well as getting to tour the pits before the race. That was really cool. It's quite the production those pit crews go through just getting ready for the race.

I think I liked the Kansas race a little better than the Texas race, but it's probably because I had better seats. Went to Talladega and Lowe's a few years ago. Talladega was cool beause the cars are going so fast and in a big bunch, but that track is so big you can't even hear the cars when they're on the back straight. Lowe's was cool though. We were there for the 600, so I got to see some night racing. And our tickets on the exit of turn 2 were pretty good, as you could see most of the track.

I like going to the races, but damn, it is an expensive weekend. $5.00 for a big cup of soda, $3.00 for a bottle of water...it's nuts. Oh, and 24oz beers are $7.50 a pop. Ouch!
