Well we have traveled a lot of miles since the last blog. After our great time at Oshkosh it was time to hit the road for Texas. We made it into town a couple of days early, so we hung out and enjoyed the hotel pool. We met up with Mike and Maria from the Interceptor team and head dinner on Thursday evening. On Friday it was show time. We headed to the track and it was time to get down to business. We made two passes on and it was time to load it up and get some sleep. On Saturday we headed back to the track to make two more passes.
Peggie Horton came out to help us on Saturday evening. It was great to see her again. While we were at the track we had a lot of people stop by and tell us about the times Ancel had raced up and down the many race track in Texas. I still miss him a lot, but think he would be proud of what we have accomplished.
We made our two passes and loaded up. It was a long drive home, but I was looking forward to sleeping in my own bed. We made it home Monday morning at 11:00, and it gave me just enough time to do laundry, and repack the trailer to hit the road again on Thursday.
Thursday morning and it is on the road again heading for New Jersey. We were running on of the NMRA (national mustang racing association) races. I had never been to Atco Dragway before, but what a wonderful track. The place was packed and it was going to be a great race.
Friday evening and we had nothing to do, so we headed into Philadelphia to see the sights. We headed to Independence Hall and wow what a great time. We walked and walked up and down all of the old streets.
Saturday morning and race time. We made two passes on Saturday and then two on Sunday. The car ran great at 283 mph. I met a lot of fun people and would love to come back again to race their.
Monday morning and our plan was to fly out and
then return on Thursday to head to another race. Well plans changed when we pulled into the airport. There was NO parking for our rig. I had really misjudged the parking situation as it was going to cost us $300 to park for 3 days. YIKES!!!! So I called the airline and canceled the flights and we decided to drive and hang out. As I was looking at the map I realized that we had passed by D.C. three times this summer and never had taken the time to sight see. Well all we had was time. So D.C. here we come.
We found a wonderful hotel just outside of the city that was pet friendly and had a shuttle to the metro, the train that runs into the city. We lucked out. If you ever get a chance to visit D.C. take a couple of days and stop. It was amazing. We tried to see everything, but ran out of time. Next time we are in the area, we are going to stop again and see more.
So now that we are caught up, I am in Kentucky in a hotel waiting to race this weekend. Andrew starts school on Monday and we race again next weekend. What a great life.
see ya,
