The youngest son (who will become a father himself sometime in the next 3 weeks)comes over tonight to inform me of the plans for Sunday... Michigan International Speedway, Main Grand Stand, Row 20 close to the start-finish line... "3M Performance 400"! :D <br /><br />Dang it ruins my plans... but hey, how do you say NO to your youngin?? Don't get any better than that.

Very nice. :) I hope someday mine will get me as great of a gift.<br /><br />Never been to a NSACAR race. Would go in a heartbeat, though, if the opportunity presented itself.

Ah, yes, being proud of one's kids<br /><br />My youngest daughter has only been a software engineer for a short time at Microsoft, and already she has forced Bill Gates out!<br /><br />Now that's my girl!!!<br /><br />I'm kidding of course, but there is no better father's day gift I could imagine than to see your children work hard, be successful and contributing members of society, and be happy to boot!<br /><br />How can it get better than that?

Looks like KaGee is only gonna get 2/3 of a race! Red Flags are out, Cars in the pits, the radar doesn't look promising for a re-start, and 130 laps are in, so the order now might be the official one.

Yep, its official - rain has shortened the race by 70 laps! Kasey Kahne wins the shortened, rained out race, and KaGee probably got soaked in that last downpour, but I am sure he still had a good time, even if he did get cheated out of a bunch of laps!

Bummer on the rain, but anybody who has seen the second lap of a NASCAR race can attest to the sheer power of 43 - 800 bhp engines all wound up and flying by in one big mass. Shakes you to your bones. That's my kinda Father's Day present!!! Awesome!

They showed the stands he was suposed to be in on TV, but I didnt see KaGee. Maybe he was pullin our leg. He should have made a sign that said "Hey To My Friends On iboats", something we could see from a distance. :p <br /><br />Surely he wasn't pullin our leg huh????? :D <br /><br />Did anyone of you see him there???? :confused:

HA! Doubters! Naysayers! I waved at y'all... twice! Sitting just to the left of the grandstand tower and pressbox...<br /><br />

<br /><br />And directly accross from here...<br /><br />

<br /><br />waiting... :( <br />finally after more than an hour delay...<br /><br />
RACE%2030.jpg
<br /><br />Green Flag!!<br /><br />

<br /><br />Put the camera away after that, drizzle... couldn't have gotten wetter if I jumped into a pool. (Ever ride in a car for over 2 hours in wet underwear?? :eek: ) All in all it was a great day, although wet. Lot's of race action even though it was shortened. From listening to the tower on the scanner, NASCAR pretty much new before the day started that they were not going to get a full race in. Oh well, I didn't pay full price, guess I can't expect a full show! :D <br /><br />Hope y'all's day was just as good.
