Talladega Day....

We finally managed to hit Talladega Speedway on a day when it wasn't closed for testing or some such. Well, actually BMW was doing some sort of unexciting motorcycle testing, bt it wasn't enough to close the track. So we were able to take the van tour, which didn't go out on the actual track but did drive all around the infield and then up on the "rim road" so we could get a close-up look at the incredible 37 degree banking on the curves. The tour was narrated by our driver, a Wilford Brimley (sp?) clone. Very interesting. And I'd really like to see a car drive around the track at racecar speeds, but I think I'll skip trying to attend an actual race there - I can't imagine what it's like when the vast surrounding fields of RV parking are full!
