Default Just got back from NHRA [pics]

I spent the latter part of the afternoon at the NHRA event today at Gateway International. I am usually not the one that takes pictures, so I kind of forgot about it until later in the event. So, here are some pictures. I will be going tomorrow and can get some more.












And here is my 2 1/2 year old son not liking the noise. He is adamant, though, that he want to go tomorrow. He had ear plugs in, but we just went and also bought him the ear muffs to go over the plugs.

You gotta love that stuff. Too bad about your son not liking the noise. They are surprisingly loud. The Bristol race is coming up pretty soon. I plan on going to that one. We went last year on Friday and stayed all day long until about 9:30PM. The night racing is always fun to see.

If you get him a set of the ear-plugs with the Orange plastic band, that wraps-around behind your neck, once he sees the crew-members wearing them, he might feel-like one of the 'big-guys', and not-object to the sound so-much.....


Hope to see more pictures later today..... don't worry about getting pictures of Ashley Force, ESPN2 does a good-enough job of that, win, lose, or draw.....
