My NASCAR thread...dial-up suicide!! Part 1/3

MuskyBill · February 16, 2007

Well, like I mentioned last week, Mike has fixed my scanner!

So, now I can share some of my many Nascar adventures south of the border, & even some from right here in Ontario.

Every year around this time (just before Daytona) I browse through my pictures, & relive them all. Now, I don't really know where to start, so this may come out at random. You'll find the pics are mostly revolvong around Dale Earnhardt, AKA "The Intimidator", or AKA "The Man".

I guess I'll start with my first race, the Goodwrench 400 at Michigan International Speeday, in August 1994. We got our tickets really late, & got stuck with row 1. These are great seats for getting covered in rubber, but not so good for seeing the whole 2 mile track.

The pace lap...

I was hooked on Nascar since '86, but after my first 'live' experience, I knew I had to get back to the track.

I didn't get back to a race until July '96, the Miller 500 at Pocono Raceway. Here's a couple of pics...

In 1997 and 1998, I did the August double-header, Watkin's Glen followed by Michigan. Man, what a tiring 2 weeks, not to mention expensive...

Here's some random pics from The Bud at The Glen...

The Man...

While I wish this one was the #3 car, I'm still really proud that it came out so well. Jimmy 'Mr. Excitement' Spencer was also the first Nascar autograph I ever got...

I also made a day trip down to The Glen for the Craftsman Truck Series. Here's Mike Skinner in a familiar looking ride...

Some pics from Michigan...

For Joey...

Poor Uncle Mikey.... :oops:
