There was a lot of people there today, non-edumacated guess would be several thousand. A lot more than last year, just keeps getting bigger. The first time we went to a test session, there were so few people there it was spooky. Won't be long before some bean counter somewhere says, "Hey, we can get money from this!"
Nice warm day, about 65, a cooler with Subway sammiches for all, soda's for the boy and neighbor, ice cold beer for Dad.
As usual, the USAF was gracious enough to have a Red Flag exercise scheduled for the same time. Tired of watching the cars? Watch the jets! I've never posted video but going to try. One of them will be the boy at the fence. Starts out with cars, then goes upstairs to catch an F-15, then back to the track....too cool.
Just a great day.
The construction they have left to do is unbelievable......

In this picture, on the left, they are using the "old" Cup series garage area, will be the "new" Busch series garage area. Not enough room for today. The first hauler you see is the FedEx #11, followed by 9 more haulers - all working out in the open, out of the back of the hauler.
The building in the center of the pic is the new Media Center, now obstructing, for lower seats, a previously unobstructed view of the entire track. Not even close to being done, a bino view of the windows reveals nothing but boxes stacked inside.
Extending from the right side of the Media Center, is the lower R/H leg of the diamond shaped "Fan Intervention Area." The bottom floor is the "new" Cup series garage are, still under construction. The upper level will allow fans to look down, into the individual garage stalls.
The place is still pretty much a mess. Lot's of work to do in a very short period of time.
I saw Reed (now I'm sore) Sorensen hit the wall. After we left, The Biff hit the wall - again. CC says tire was cut.
First time with this new camera, got some tweaking to do on user operation. Anything close to fence would be the boy, up top would be me. Will try to post a working link to video's after dinner.
