Race Day

Yes, we did go for the race. It was the Shelby 427. The sponsor, Shelby Racing, had a large display of their Cobras, Mustangs, and GTs. Yep, that's me next to the Pace Car.

If you look close at the track photo, you can see one of the Flying Elvis parachute team dropping in.

The track has the mountains as a backdrop. the Air Force base is next to the track. The Thunderbirds did the flyover and put on a show.

Below is Jeff Gordon with the microphone doing an interview before the race at the stage on the "midway". Best I could do with about 2,000 Gordon fans trying to jockey for a view. Out west Gordon is actually as popular as Dale Earnhart Jr.
