I have never been to a race. It was on my bucket list.”

When the kids were small and we lived in KC, went to the races somewhere every Saturday and Sunday evening. Cars weren’t as expensive then with all the big sponsors but we knew many of the drivers and it was a fun time for all. Watching from the back end of a pick-up with friends, sitting in lawn chairs and drinking beer - just a good inexpensive way to have lots of fun.

sounds like fun. when i was little we went and got a “tasty-freeze” ice cream and parked on the side of a road, at the end of Sky Harbor runway. we laid on top of the car and the planes were only a few hundred feet above. freebie entertainment of years gone by.

i told my kids if i ever can afford anything again, i’ll rent a motorhome and we will (1) spend the night in the Walmart parking lot (lol) and (2) spend a few nights in a motorhome in the center of Phx International.

the older i get, the shorter my bucket list gets and the more i realize that i’m not going to do a whole bunch of those things i wanted to do. :(
