I went to the FedEx Liberty Bowl in Memphis a couple of years ago, and they flew a 747 Fedex cargo plane about 500 feet above the stadium. Cool as hell.

Trump should fly a Gadsden flag from the Beast.

This is so awesome. I never watch Nascar and I’ve been glued to the TV.

Have some coworkers there today. Can’t wait to see hear about it.

I notice she is always VERY mindful of that since the loathsome press would have a heyday if her dress flew up.

The race doesn’t start until 2:30. I think he’ll do the official lap around the track right before the race? They’ve been talking about it. I can’t imagine they wouldn’t show it.

I hope the have some speed.

Bet the dress has hem weights. If so, major malfunction was unlikely. :-)

Had not thought of hem weights. Probably so..but she was still struggling to make sure that dress didnt draft up. Kate does a nice job over there in the UK of being able to bend down in a dress and never seems to show anything. Of course, paps probably cooperate to some extent if something happens.
