Went to my first race today

Had a friend call me up last might and invite me to the go with him to the Daytona speedway to watch last chance qualifying for the 25 hr Rolex and and some other 2 hr race they ran today.
Let's just say I understand why people go the races. I had a blast!
Buddy has been setting up the comm systems for years there and knows most everyone. Got to meet a lot of team owners and drivers. Coolest one I got to meet was Brian Johnson from AC/DC and his wife. This will be his 2 nd race( I think). He's funny as all get out and his wife is a doll.
As soon as I get the time I'll put some pics up

I understand why you understand, ISO, because I've been able to do that, too. Way fun! Glad you got to experience it. You'll be hooked now.

Cool that you met the ACDC guy.

Bet it was noisy there, yes?

Is it true that spectators toss their food leftovers on the floor? (Or just the hard-boiled eggs?)

Place was very clean Gale. There were a few eggs around but I think they were just bald guys heads

The Rolex 24 is a fun race, lots of team picking goes on and you'll see NASCAR guys teaming up with Indy guys and lots of Europeans. Meeting Brian Johnson--priceless. :lol:
