Vroom Vroom

Nope, he's not cold and protecting his ears from the bitter chill. Nope. This is Braun at Nascar and the noise is SO UNBEARABLY LOUD that you have to wear protective ear covering. We had so much fun though. The cars seriously go dizzyingly fast and it's fun to see the cars set themselves on fire and ram themselves (and each other) into the wall. Tell the truth, you know you've had urges to ram your car (or someone else's) into the nearest brick wall, eh? Well, watching someone else do it is the next best thing. And here below is the crew putting on new tires and refueling in a matter of 60 seconds or less. Now answer me this. If these folks can get a new fender screwed on in around a minute, why do I have to wait 4 hours for a tire change? Anyone? Anyone?

Hmmmm...watching cars drive around in circles with ear plugs on. Sounds like some kind of fun. Maybe you have to live in Texas to enjoy that...glad you guys had a good time.

Wow, a few years ago I would have accused y'all of being some serious rednecks. But, working with a bunch of people from the south I have come to appreciate the beauty of Neck-car..I mean Nascar. Besides, Enterprise is an official sponser now. We have the #1 car. Our driver sucks but he's a member of the Dale Ernhart Jr. team. That's good right? Anywho, do they do the figure 8 like they did at Saugus Speedway?
