Yes this is The Big Race Weekend. LOL - our property borders 53 - you know you are getting old when it's fun to sit out there in a lawn chair and watch the crazies go by.
I would NEVER go sit in those stands for race day - you fry up there. (although the big NASCAR fans sure enjoy it!). What *I* think is fun is going to the NHRA Championships (National Hot Rod Association - the drag strip cars) at Route 66 Raceway (is it still called that??) I love the Funny Cars. We will be dog training on Saturday as usual, and all the participants will be hoping to miss the major traffic which they usually do. On Sunday we're bugging out early to head north for a dog event, so for the first time in years we won't have the lawn chairs out, and won't see the fly boys (Blue Angels or whoever is hired this year) fly over our house during the opening festivities.
Wow - and OMW is a "local" too!! Your trip sounds really fun - but way more AL tempting than anything race weekend will have to offer me. I did buy more Sharp's on sale.
and a couple different kinds of AF wine to try. The boozers will have nothin' on me!!!!
