Fall NASCAR

Well, the boys (and a few girls) were back in town last weekend for the Kobalt Tools 500, and what a great weekend for racing. Weather was perfect in the day and only a light jacket during the night races, which were dominated by Midwestern winners. Clint Bowyer took the Friday night truck race, and Carl Edwards swept the Nationwide and Sprint races. Way to go Ford Racing !! I went by myeself on Friday night, as Caryl had to work, but Saturday she got in a full day with me, and had a lot of fun.

On Sunday, I had the day off, so I stayed home and watched the final Formula 1 race of the season in the morning, the NASCAR race in the afternoon, and then went to see a blues concert by Robert Cray that night. What a way to close out the weekend!

SEMA show

My friend Brian, who owns his own brake business, got me credentialed, and off we went to experience the SEMA (Specialty Equipment Marketing Association) show. This is the biggest show in the country for all the vendors to show their stuff to potential business clients, and it did not disappoint. The cars and equipment are fantastic, but everyone goes there just as much to see the hot models the companies hire to attract attention to their product, and attract attention they did! This may be a once in a lifetime event for me, so it was very cool!

LOTS more hot pictures in the photo album section !!!!
