All-star race week/Coca-Cola 600 LMS Charlotte - Discussion & pictures from race
Adventuredaz:
Ok, we have the tickets for the Coca-Cola 500 on the 25th. So WOOT!!
I would really liked to go to the All-Star race because I agree it is a different setting and different environment.
As far as the all star race goes - I guess our league does not pick for the race??? Anyway I voted for Michael Waltrip to be in the race. I like him, he's had a rough time and I doubt he would have a shot at winning but it will be his 15 Run if he gets in. As far as winning - I am rooting for Jr. but think Jimmie Johnson will win with a good show from the other Hendrick cars as well as smoke and edwards.
This is a race that the pit stop can lose the Race so anything could happen but because it is short the cars should be mechanicly fine.
Adventuredaz:
Just a riminder to get your picks in! Qualifying tonight I believe.

The Coca-cola 600 (lol got it wrong till now) was awesome to attend. We just got in from the race and I guess i will be spending most of the day tomorrow here in Charlotte with my parents. Parking situation was pretty bad we left the house about 20 minutes away at about 3pm and we barely made our seats by 5pm we finally parked in a camping area since they directed us as far as they could and then left us to fend for ourselves. we were fortunate to flag down a golf cart for a ride to the gate. the race was great but not always easy to follow from the stands once they got into lapped traffic. It is supper loud I did about 70 laps with no ear plugs just for the experience but at the first caution I stuck them in. I will try to get some pictures up by tomorrow night. location for camera angle was not the best but I did what I could.

Add, sounds like you had a great time. Can't wait to see the pics! :thumb:
I can't believe you went 70 laps with no earplugs. I would have probably lasted one lap. :lolg:
