SATURDAY AND SUNDAY RACE DAYS...

It's finally here NASCAR. I've been waiting since April for this weekend. I've got just about the greatest seats in PIR. Allison, 1M,34,3&4 . Right between turn 3&4. The shade hits the seats around 11:30-12:00. In AZ sun and heat are #1 concern, this is the best section in the house. Bob, Donella and I left early to catch happy hour and watch the BIG BOYS practice, as well as buy a few souvenirs. There were fewer vendors than last year and not a huge crowd for Saturdays race. We settled in our seats I patiently waiting for my blind date. I decided to donate my other ticket to Luke Air Force Base so one of our hero's could enjoy the races. So I had no idea who would be sitting next to me. I decided he was going to be my blind date. Jeff's car was already running bad during practice. It wasn't very encouraging. Jimmy Johnson's car was hooked up. Jr.'s also was connecting to the pavement. The Bush cars started their practice run and here walking down our aisle was my blind date. Very tall, dark hair, and very pretty. YES, wouldn't you know it. It was Major Sargent Benjamin Reynolds wife, Melissa. He had to go out of town unexpectedly so since she said she'd like to go he gave her the tickets.
