My Race Weekend Overload (pic heavy)

Whee · 07-24-2009, 11:10 PM

They always have a flyover. The first year I went, they had a Blackhawk helicopter fly over the stands, do a straight up bank and come right at us, stopping and hovering about 100 yards from the crowd. Unfortunately, they don;t get that close, but here's a pic as the pilot was banking over us.

This is a vid of the beginning of the race. Notice how quiet the trucks get before they get the green. Our seats are about 20 rows up or so.

And another vid of one of the restarts and I follow them around the track see you can what a neat little half-mile ORP is.

A quick action shot. Hopefully, I will work out the timing a little better.

So I write up the last captions, preview post and apparently, didn;t submit.

Here are a couple of late race action pics.

Todd Bodine in for some damage control. Wrecked right in front of us, of course, i was watching the action behind him.

Ron Hornaday, the winner, beginning his "Polish victory lap."

The rest of the weekend may not get posted until I get back to S. Beloit on Tuesday. Long day tomorrow for the Nationwide race and then a 5am wake up on Sunday to head to the Brickyard.

Hope you enjoy the pics!

All the Bodine brothers sucked. They were all wreckers. I would cringe everytime my favorite drivers were around them.

Have fun at the races!
