9-16 June Michigan

We went to Michigan International Speedway on Monday.  the campground we were in had 50 amp electric, but was the farthest away from the racetrack.  We couldn't even see it from where we were.
We went exploring the Irish Hills which was only slightly more exciting that Greencastle.  They had wineries. 
we saw some good racing.  boy that track is big.  I mean, it's 2 miles but until you climb up to the top row of the grandstands (cause that sounded like a good idea when you got your tickets, but not so much when you have to climb them), you really don't get the full bigness of 2 miles.
that track really puts on a good time for the fans.  everyone was extremely nice and informed.  not used to that at a racetrack.  so butch enjoyed fathers day watching a race, with a beer in hand.
the only thing that sucked was Jimmie Johnson winning the race. 
we went to the tweet-up before the race and met the guy who runs the track, Jimmie Johnsons spotter, big earl, dale jr's spotter TJ, joey lagano's spotter tab, the entire 31 pit crew, as well as the orange cone and nascarasm.  pretty cool.
pictures are on Ipod, so i'll have to catch them up later.
