Sprint 500
I got to fill in at the last minute at the Richmond, VA race this weekend. We all had a blast but I am glad to be home. Alas, I still was not allowed to jump in the Cat car and do a 360 in the parking lot. I didn't even get to lay one little finger on it. I did however get to meet Richmond's finest. I wasn't paying attention returning from the pit tour and stepped over the white line so I got chewed out something to the tune of "I SAID do NOT cross the WHITE LINE!" by a police officer. Oops.
The closest I will ever get to any race car:

Looks fun! I can't watch that crap on TV, but I would go if I ever got the chance...
I'm with you. No matter how cool the cars are it is boring watching them go around the track 500 times, unless one of them crashes. It's way more fun watching it in person, especially if you are one of the lucky few that get a headset and can hear the driver and pit crew. Even so, it was hot as hell and we still only lasted till the 83rd lap.
