Auto club 500

Approximately 15 hours of life spent to watch 87 of 250 laps at the Auto club Speedway formerly known as the California Speedway.
87 laps seven cautions and two red flags.

I have less to complain of then some. We were fortunate to be at the start finish line and also under the overhang so our seats were dry even when it started to pour 87 laps into the race.

This is the beginning of the end. The cars would not restart until Monday.

We went back to the cars waiting to see if the race would resume but the track was too wet and at eleven o'clock they postponed the race until Monday. No we were not still at the track. We left around eight. I was bummed because I had Simulation at school in Bakersfield at 8:15 so I couldn't be in Fontana at 10 when they resumed and finished the race. I did get to watch it on TV after Sim.

Victory







Family, friends, food and football. Life is good and to make it better Eli Manning and the New York Giants provided a much anticipated victory. Jenny and I drove to my parents house to watch the game in HD on the big screen tv. I made a cake shaped like a stadium. My frosting technique could use a little work but it tasted pretty good. And Mom made tacos and burritos. My cousin Harrison was a little bummed because the Patriots lost but he'll get over it. The dog was happy for the win because she got lots of treats. She is so smart she knows when the team we want to win scores a touchdown and she dances for touchdown treats. Okay, shes not that smart it helps that we all start screaming at the tv, but she sure is cute.
