I would have had more to share, but my flight didn't get into Dulles until just before Midnight, and it was more than an hour later before I even got to my car after what seemed like an interminable wait in baggage claim. Add it all up, and I wasn't through my front door until after 1:30 a.m.
Total travel time from departure from the race to my front door: 10.5 hours. Not fun. Not fun at all.
In any case, I still have a few items to share. Click here for a gallery of pics of the Newman Wachs racer I was in Denver to see in the first place.
And here's the view from the seats that I had all weekend. That's Invesco Field in the background:
I'm afraid this video doesn't do the experience much justice. After my first full weekend of big time auto racing, I'm hooked. I'll have more later in the week.
Eric, I hope you start writing more about racing. I was never a fan and my wife and I are in the process of moving to Indianapolis. I was out there Memorial Day weekend for the 500 and a few weeks ago for the NASCAR race at the Brickyard. Both races have me intrigued.
I love your blog and it’d be great if you’d write more about racing since I’m trying to educate myself.
