General Ramblings

NASCAR at Kansas Speedway

Last weekend NASCAR had the Life Lock 400, at Kansas Speedway in KCK. I was fortunate to get tickets from my Father In-Law. Matthew got to go to the qualifying event on Friday but I had class that day so I didn't go. He had a great time, just him and Grandpa Clark. Saturday was fun, the Busch races were that day. The weather was perfect and the cars were fast. After NASCAR Busch race was USAC race. Wingless sprint cars on asphalt was fun to watch but I like my sprint cars to have wings and dirt flying. The NASCAR Nextel Cup race was Sunday. It started out great but about 15 laps in they red flagged the track because of rain. There was about a one hour delay before racing again. They went for about 140 more laps and it started raining again. This time there was a lot of thunder and lightning and about a 3 hour delay. I got soaked on the way to the car. I left early because I didn't want to wait out the rain with 100,000 other people under the stands, or get home at midnight. Took about an hour to get out of the muddy parking lot and get on the highway. By the time I got to Emporia the race had restarted, glad I didnt wait that 3 hours! I watched the end of the race on TV. They called it early due to darkness and it ended under caution 57 laps short of the scheduled 267 laps. Matthew and I took lots of pictures. I will get them posted as soon as I can get them developed and scanned. I don't take the digital to things like that and I don't send it out with Matthew either. :) We always take the disposable type cameras to that kind of stuff. Can't get great pictures with them but they are cheap if you lose them and you don't have to wonder if the security guards at the gate will let you bring them in. If they tell you that you can't take it you just leave it and you're out 2 or 3 bucks rather than another 30+ minutes of walking back to the car and hoping no thief sees you putting your good camera in there.
