Brian and Julie at the Daytona 500

Hi there:
Below are some photos of Julie and her dad, Brian at the recent Daytona 500 as well as her description of the good time they had. Sounds like fun. Maybe someday I'll have to go there to see if I can learn to appreciate the sport!
Cheers,
Barry

Here are a few pictures from Speedweek! So hard to choose a few! We had an amazing time and now I have to figure a way to convince my mom to come next year! We had all access pass and a place to 5th Turn (there is a picture of my dad inside) and that is where we went before and after the race for drinks and food! It was a huge place with 5 different rooms. We were at the track from Thursday to Sunday. We got to take in all the practices and races, including the night race. The first day we got there my dad and I were walking outside the track towards the tram to take us under the track into the infield and we heard a very LOUD noise zoom by. By the time my dad looked it was gone! I will never forget his face! I also couldn't believe how many people were there on the big day! It was packed ! I did take the time to stock up on my Dale Jr collection, a teddy bear, a foam finger, one thing that was hard to find was clothes! THank God I could fit into kids clothes so my dad got me a shirt for the day of the 500! I was so sad when Dale Jr crashed on the last laps but I changed my headset over and listened in on the young kid Trevor Bayne's radio. It was amazing experience!
