I'm always fascinated with speed hence all the speeding tickets I had received thoughout my driving life. I guess this is a lot safer compared to driving street bikes over 150 mph most of the time before I joined the Navy :).
Don't get me wrong, I still like NASCAR. I had been to Daytona a few times when I was stationed in Mayport. Been to Michigan Int'l Speedway and Pocono. Just one of the perks for being in the military. I just didn't enjoy the race as much as I used to. Now, I just need to be in Bristol for a night race. That would be awesome!!

Going to the races is a blast and going to a race at Bristol is one of my dreams. Going to the race isn't a one day event though, going to a race is a 4-6 day long tailgating party! At least from my experience going to Watkins Glen a couple times, it's non stop partying from Wed-Monday morning.
