Mustang Madness

The Embry-Riddle team set off for Bradenton Motorsports Park for the NMRA season opener. It was Mustang Madness in South Florida and we were there to watch it all. We headed out for the race on Friday morning in order to do a couple of displays, first at Walmart then for the pre-race party at Hooters. Then it was time to go to the hotel to rest up for race day.

Andrew had a baseball game Friday night so E. Lowe picked him up at a friends house and all of the crew was on hand to have a great time. Unfortunately the weather was WINDY, so it made set-up fun and we eventually lost one of our canopies to the wind. But racing goes on. We were only able to make 1/8 mile passes, but I am happy to say that the ERAU jet dragster ran amazing.

The next day we were geared up to make one more pass and have some fun. Well okay we also had to celebrate my birthday, which it seems like I always celebrate at the race track. Hey a girl has to make a living. But with all of my friends around how could my day be anything other than great. Thanks for everyone for the great birthday. Jason, glad that you are back safe and sound from Iraq, it was good to see you. The ERAU dragster made a blistering pass and we packed up and headed for home.

We have the next couple of weeks off, but we are going to check out the Gatornationals this Saturday and get ready for the weeks to come. Check out the schedule as we are heading to South Florida for World Famous Barrett Jackson Auto Auction and the kick off of the Indy racing league at the Miami Homestead Raceway. We are going to be a part of the Speed Jam with Three Doors Down and Danica. Check out this link for more information. http://www.homesteadmiamispeedway.com/544813.html
