Paducah International Raceway
May 28, 2010
Finally... we headed to a race where the clouds looked favorable for us to get a race in....
we decided to get a motel room so we could take our puppy and not have to drive back so late tonight......WELL.... lol... if we had not got a room we would not have gotten out of there til one or two in the morning....guess what..
we were in the car heading to the motel by 9:34 p.m...... unbelieveable.... they dont mess around there.... they said they were starting racing at 7 oclock.... and it was pretty close.... they took a moderate intermission and didn't waste time getting cars lined up... the whole program was ran very very smooth....
The track is awesome ..very high banking... not sure of the size but looked bigger then most I have been to...they have a smaller track inside the outer one that the hornets raced on ...
We took Dennis Waggle with us to the track because Team #22 was leaving before he got off work.... lucky for us... the signs marking the Raceway are not very big and I think we would have had not such an easy time of it finding the track.... Dennis guided us right to it.... thanks Dennis...
