Time to Go Racing

I love NASCAR and it's revving to go. The biggest event of the racing season, the Daytona 500, is days away. On the pole will be Dale Earnhardt Jr. Considering this is the 10th year anniversary of his famous father's death, it somehow seems appropriate. On the outside pole will be my favorite, driver of the 24 car, Jeff Gordon. These two are teammates now, so it's a good start for their team.

The equivalent of the Daytona 500 to Formula One racing is probably the Monaco Grand Prix. The difference between the two is that F1 is probably more international in scope than NASCAR is. That's on a broad scale. From the practical, it's the type of vehicles that are used and the tracks raced on that are probably the most obvious differences.

Monaco grand prix hospitality deals with a huge number of visitors for this race which twists and turns its way through Monaco, the last home of America's beloved Grace Kelly. It's a course that is difficult to pass on, but it's a prestigious event that the drivers look forward to.

Regardless which sport you are passionate about, it's definitely time to go racing for 2011.

It's Saturday

Hope your Saturday has gone well. I wasn't feeling too well last night and this morning, but it's been a better afternoon and evening for me. I did watch the NASCAR race. I think it was the most exciting race of the year. Jeff Gordon didn't win, but he did finish fifth and extend his points lead. I tell ya, Dale Earnhardt, Jr. needs to go back to driving school. He just can't get into his pits. I've been talking about it all year, and now even the announcers are beginning to point out just how costly the constant miscues on pit lane are for Jr. Sorry fans of the 88, but Jr. is not a good driver. If he were Dale Smith, Jr., he probably wouldn't even have a ride.

We're in the mid-80's this weekend. I wish we'd get back to the mid-70's. I like that weather a whole lot better. It's just a little too warm in my house when it gets to any temp over 83 or so outside.
