Hope they have fun in Darlington...

I was SO excited about the race last night. It took me just around an hour and a half to get near the track and then another thirty minutes of waiting in traffic to find a parking place. The weather had been just fine all the way down. However, as soon as I started to drive by the track, the rain started.

The rain didn't stop. The view you see in the picture below is the view I saw the most at the "race." It rained and rained. I was at the track by 4:30 P.M. and left at 8:30 P.M. It rained the whole time.



The most interesting thing that happened was watching all the cars get stuck in the mud of the "parking lot" (a grass covered field). There were guys in 4x4's pulling people through the slick mud and in some cases I saw guys pushing cars out. They were covered with mud from the spinning tires.

Oh, well, I'll get another chance sometime. Today is Mothers' Day and I plan to spend it with my mother. I won't be going to the race. I'll catch some of it on TV. Some things are more important than NASCAR.
