I usually go... Wife was supposed to fly out to Canada for work on Sunday so we weren't going... the company cancelled her trip so I'll say maybe...
My wife told me the other day that I don't pay enough interest to sports she follows, (NHRA
) hahaha!

Have you ever attended at race before? IMO, Friday or Sauturday are the days to attend. You get to see more passes down the track.

I won't be at Chicago but look to be at Indy.
Have a great time!!

Wife says weather forecast isn't good and she's looking forward to watching from the A/C splendor of our living room on 52" tv. Says the rubber doesn't go well with her blonde hair, her supper outfits, or her pasty white skin... (ok, I threw in the skin part
)!
So... we're not going to make the 9 mile drive:(2006 MSRT8 in Brilliant Black, Options I,II,III, Sunroof and Sideairbags, Free Auto On Headlight Mod, Headlights on wth wipers, Highbeams on with Fog Lights, Hacked Nav, MOPAR Remote Start, BLACKEND I-Pass, Tailgate Plugs, 20% Tint Side Front Windows, Smoke LED Tailights, Airhammer CAI, Kooks LoKo Coated headers, Hi-Flow Cats, JBA 3" Cat Back, eibach sways.

Politically correct is for people too scared to say what they really think.

Who would let a woman cook? Don't you have any selfpride? I do all the cooking at my house.

Yeah, I'd say I've been to about 10 or so over the last 20 years. I like Sunday b/c you get to see the conclusion. My boys want to go to the winner circle also. Originally Posted by rtr0id

That's kewl, as i stated you just get to see more cars go down the track on Friday or Saturday. Actually more cars in the pits to. Racers seem to scram if they don't qualify Originally Posted by Hemi_SRT8
Winner's circle is sweet, especially if your the ones celebrating. I like the circles in Atlanta, Topeka and Pomona myself

Like where... South side under the bleachers? On the road behind, (West of)( the staging lanes? North side under the bleachers? Pretty sure most people aren't going to have suite tickets, so those are the closest places they can get during the nationals.
