Val) 9:43pm, Wheatland, MO, Lucas Oil Speedway, Suite 3E…(It’s kind of tough to type with a pit band on our wrist!)
If the true test of a friendship is to take a road trip together, then I think we’ve passed the first half of the test pretty well. Final exam is tomorrow morning, when we try to roll out of bed with the chickens to make the four hour drive home in time to get Spring to a noon wedding shoot!
This track is amazing! I have never been to such a nice dirt facility in my life! There is a huge screen over in turn three where the race is broadcast live. Everything is clean and well laid out. The pits are paved, which was great for walking around and shooting beforehand. And right now I’m sitting her taking advantage of the track’s Wi-Fi! Yes, dirt track racing has come a long way, and this place is definitely state-of-the art!
Brady Bacon took fast time qualifying in his first time out in a 410 Sprint and broke the track record to boot. Then he came out and won his Show-Me Racin’ Series heat race. That kid can drive.
We got a late start on the road due to some unforeseen issues at home, but we finally got down here around 5:30 and it’s been non-stop ever since. I just got a burger and a Coke about twenty minutes ago, and now I feel lie I have some energy again.
I’m going to post a few pictures here while the Mods are running, then get back to watching the races.
