Now let's compare to the big boy schedule - OK, my All-Star trip keeps me away from Ona on May 16 and they don't race the weekend of the Coke 600. The Brickyard in July, no racing at Ona. Bristol in August is no problem, weekend off. Ona's done by the Bank of America 500 in October.
Here's my Bristol seat view. It's a trip with 50 of my new closest friends - it's a fund raiser for the Alum Creek (W.Va.) Lions Club. Being a good Lions Club president in Huntington, of course I go on that trip. These folks are also members of the Nascar Members Club and in the center is National Advisor Paul Mullins of St. Albans, W.Va.
Hmmmm. I sense a pattern here. Either the drivers all want to go to the 600, the Brickyard and Bristol or the owners realize those are the races of interest to local folk. No problem from me!
The All-Star is no points, but a lot of fun to watch! Wonder who'll be the musical entertainment, now that Humpy Wheeler is retired...And I wonder if they'll still blow up stuff before the races?
