Landen had one of the best weekends of his life.
We did about everything one can do at the
track.
Yesterday we got garage passes
and Landen got to see more drivers along with some of the NASCAR announcers and
more signatures including Rick Hendrick, which is Jimmie’s team owner.
As we were roaming through the garage our
daughter text us and said she saw us on TV.
We also got to see a first when one of the drivers went off track and
his exhaust set the grass on fire.
Although Jimmie didn’t win he did well and Landen had a great time.
After the race they let us walk the
track.
Then since we had to park so far
away from the exits they let us drive the track to get to the other side so we
didn’t have to drive all the way around.
Landen had a ball as I drove down the switchbacks and down the straight
stretch right in front of where we were sitting.
Then we took the pit road to the track exit.
Although I was only going 40 MPH it was fun
for us all.
I thought we had it made
since there was no traffic turning in the direction we needed to go, until we
got about 5 miles down the road and there is was.
Fortunately the traffic was turning off soon and we weren’t stuck
too long.
It still took us about 1.5
hours to do the 15 minute drive though.
After we got back to the motorhome I discovered we had no hot
water.
It only took me about 10 minutes
to find the problem and we were back in hot water.
Well today I expected to wake to rain.
It didn’t happen.
All the weather reports over rated the rain that was coming.
We got a small sprinkle at the beginning of
the race yesterday and there was 1 short rain caution during the first part of
the race.
I haven’t seen any rain
since.
So we made our way back south to
Gilroy again.
This is another one
nighter before we head south again.
This time I went around the east side of San Francisco.
MUSH BETTER!
We ran into some slow traffic but I can much better tolerate slow
traffic than driving through San Francisco streets and traffic.
Other than the drive and having to do some
shopping, this is a relaxing afternoon.
