Here are all of the pictures I took, from start to finish. In my opinion, I used up my memory way too fast! I was excited, the races are exciting and just being in that atmosphere is a rush! Me, my boyfriend and my best friend went. We left really early anticipating a bunch of traffic, but we got there around 3 hours before the race even started! So, we parked, partied and had fun. Unfortunately we were sitting in the sun the whole time, and the combo of the beer, (well, Zima for me), sun, and loud cars became too much, and we left early. But we had a blast! To see the full pic, click on my reply button then click more. Here is a pic of a couple of different, but happy trees. hehe What can I say, I'm a nature girl. This was before we entered the gates. Here's a small sample of what most of the parking lot looked like. We parked really far away from the Speedway, and I still couldn't get the whole thing in my picture! Here's Chriso with the mini-keg...aren't they cute?  

(Please see my next blog for this pic, I couldn't get it on here for some reason!)  While we were in the parking lot, many planes and helicopters were flying by. I wish I would have taken a pic of the cool copters! But, you'll have to settle for this banner that was flying behind a plane, it's for the Johnny Cash movie, "Walking the Line" Here are 2 of the 4 most important men in my life!!! (Chriso - my best friend of 15 years or more, and Dave, aka Sweetie) I guess I don't have to point out that big zit on my face! (I stole that line from my sister, redjewel!! LOL Can you tell I was having a good time!? Here's a couple of pics of us walking up to the Speedway...(well Dave and Chriso actually, I was taking the pic, duh!) This is what we saw once we entered the Speedway. I sure wish I would have had those box seats!!! I know, I know, I shouldn't have wasted 3 pics on the boxes but I was excited and not thinking! hehehe Okay, here they come, this was the start of the race. I think it's a cool picture. And here are some random shots, hope you see someone you like in there! I tried! Chriso helped me take some pics, it was so darn hard to focus, and they were going so fast! (Notice the Shiner in Chriso's hand...LOL) Okay, well folks, this is my second time posting this, last night I did it and the pics were too big and after I posted them, I couldn't resize them. My dumbass erased all of them!! So, if you think you are only seeing part of the pic, I'm sorry. Hope you enjoy! Especially Greenie and Free4ever!! (My thoughts are with you S!)
