So, at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, I found that sitting at a dozon or so different places was the way to go. It was difficult to do, as it was just a tad-shy of selling out, standing room only--go figure.
I stood at a dozon place to witness the Race.
Different crowd altoghether from the local Raceway of Daytona. Didn't seem at all seem like the crowd I had witnessed from down here. Heavy, heavy partiers from all around, like Utah, Nevada, California, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Oregan.
Not at all singleing them out for any reason whatsoever, merely an observation on my part. It's all good.
Great facility, hands down! Ever been there? It sure beats Daytona.
The next Saturday night, did a road trip to Mohave Valley Raceway for thier opening 2009 show, on the 1/3 mile dirt Raceway; a two hour trip south over to Arizona, across the Colorado River, into and through Bullhead City, which is is like a smaller version, a Las Vegas Light. Was going to try to escape the folks and get away for a spell, however Mom wanted to go with me......I couldn't argue, I was sleeping at their house and driving their car, and eating their food (I filled their 'fridge up).
So, Mom was my date, and a good sport she was, navigated us with road maps to the far-away Raceway, stopping for the necessary stops and coffee.
Mohave Valley Raceway, fine facility it is--IMCA Mods, Sportstocks, Mini-Stocks, and a couple of other classes.
It was 49 degrees, however it was not the same as here in Florida, I had only a sweatshirt on me, Mom was a little bit colder--we drank hot coffee and ate hot popcorn--------
--and thats OK with me.
Good sport she was, we stayed almost until the last feature race was over, and we took our two hour trip back home through the desert, at 10:30 at night, got home at 1:00 AM time difference minus 1 hour.
You know, it's funny, at 4:30 AM my phone would start ringing off the hook, being that it was 7:30 AM Florida time, and there was nothing I could do except answere it and be pleasant about it.
Mohave Valley Raceway is on an Indian Reservation in Arizona, and the have a Spring and Fall version of their Programs; they stop racing in the middle months, like June July and August.
Was told it's just too darn hot. No dice.
So, great week it was in the Desert, and Dad is OK.
(also caugh the Cubs spring training game at Cashman Field an Wed.)
