I've been in this town since 1983, the last several years I've had some nasty things to say, like, "damn, I hate this town, takes forever to get anywhere!".....
Then there are times like this.....there is only one city that can do something like this....the Neon Garage...the Blue Man group for pre-race entertainment, the flyover was from our home town boys - the USAF Thunderbirds. Friday and Saturday: if you got tired of watching Nascar, watch the jets from Nellis AFB. Hard to miss, actually.
There is only one city that can put on a show like this....and I'm damn glad to be here!!!!
Elvis is in the house! This is Neon Garage central, about 8:30am Sunday. To the left you can see the upper level that looks down into the team stalls, one of five sections that make up the garage area. In the background, looking under the awning, is the Richard Petty seating section. Our seats were about dead center.
Hot rod parade. Heading out for practice Saturday morning. Turn the volume up!
Camera audio gets whacked...That is real music!
SamsTowm 300 start 105,000 in attendance. Not bad for a Busch Race.
UAW-DaimlerChrysler 400 start 160,000 Nascar fans. F*** Washington State.
I bought a Canon last year and it's supposedly capable but still haven't mastered half the things on it, my first digital.
Nice work Mac! Quite a crowd for the Busch Race. I think it should be called "CUP LITE" in the future to reflect the cup drivers entered...
You did an awesome job putting that together for us!!
Thanks Mac.
Oh nooooooo they just pancaked the Stardust.
Are there any old hotels left there anymore?
We used to fly there at least twice a month and contemplated moving there once upon a time in the early 90's but chose to go to Wyoming [blizzard city] and invest in the B&B.
Now I'm thinking if we had just bought a house in Vegas we would have tripled our money and I would be living in a place where you can get fresh fruit and veggies and shopping etc. rather than being here. Darn!
