The first couple were from qualifying on Friday, and the last 3 were during the race on Sunday. Man, it's hard to catch them going 150+ mph.:D :D :D
 
It was in the 40's for the Busch race on Saturday, they ran out of blankets at the concession stand we went to. My wife came back with 2 double shots of "Jager". That did ok for a while!!!:D

very nice pictures Charlie... so you went to las Vegas eh :D .
Any poker or shows during your staying there?

Naw, we pretty much kept ourselves busy stumbling around seeing the sights. We did lose a little money on the machines, but who cares!!! You aren't supposed to win anyways, are you???????:lol:

Machines are the loosing money ... unless you are super lucky or invest quite some money in one machine... where you win money is playing texas hold'em at the table ;) :D.

Man your lucky, wish I was there, nice shots. Them cars are small up close huh.

This was the first time that I got to see the whole race weekend, we were too burned out from trvel at Daytona. The difference between the Busch cars and the Cup cars is unreal, not to mention the fact that the drivers are about 50% better. Just the sound of a Cup car is enuf to raise the hair on the back of your neck, they are just so smooth!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL !!! Brian :D .
Hey Charlie did you get any autographs from the racers or they don't allow that?

The pit pass was not included in our tickets, but they will be next year!!!!!!!!
We didn't make it out to where any of the drivers were appearing because of the driving hassle, but I really think I will get some more chances for autographs next year.
 
I know my garage looked empty! What the heck are they doing racing my car!!!!(LOL) Nice shot Charlie! Thanks for sharing:)

I told you fishes are not dogs dood :lol: next time put a big chain in that garage :D .
 
my mom and sister went down there for that. they were there!! mom hated it she went to daytona 400 last year and saw some wrecks. she went to this and was bored cause there was no good wrecks. Then she had the nerve to get mad a jimmie johnson for winning on the last lap.

Glad you had fun while you were there!!!
 
I think next year, when they increase the banking to 20%, there will be a little more action that she might like, I guess. The increase in banking is supposed to make it one of the fastest 1.5 mile tracks on the schedule. I know I'll be there!!!!
 
the banking will help alot. from the corner to the backstrech they go from 146 to 188 mph. with the banking should alow 170 mph in the corners at least with 200 on the straight aways. good fast hard racin!!!!

Sounds like way to much fun!!!!!! They are gonna move pit road 185 feet closer to the frontstretch grandstand too. That and narrow the track a bit. It will be interesting.
