The Busch and Coca-Cola Race

The Busch race was run on a very hot Saturday which called for lots of ice cold beverages.











                                        This is the new jumbo screen that was installed this year.

The stands in the back is where we will sit for the Coca-Cola 600 on Sunday which will be right in the
sun...ugh










Greg Biffle was the winner and it was a good race.












                           I enjoy the burn outs that the winners do...the cloud of smoke is awesome.

Later on that evening we had a fire using the new Stump Stove.  This is a pretty cool concept and it work very well.   It’s a log that has been cut according to the specs of the companies patent which allows it to burn five times longer than a traditionally cut firewood log.  You can even extinguish it and reignite it multiple times.  One single 16-inch log, depending on diameter and density, can burn well beyond 3 hours.  Compare that to a typical night out camping, and you’re burning anywhere from 2-6 bags of firewood.  The Stump Stove is probably the most ingenious advancement to camping technology we have seen in decades. It conserves forestry by cutting back the amount of wood used, and also the amount of carbon released in the atmosphere when you burn it.  They sell from $15-$20 depending on the size.

Coca-Cola 600

Well we lucked out for the 600 race as Buddy, Sara, Mark and I got upgraded to clubhouse which has A/C with tv monitors so you know whats going on during the race.  You couldn't bring in coolers but it was worth it.

                                                The new screen at night time was impressive

And the winner is Kevin Harvick...poor Dale Jr. ran out of gas on the 3rd corner but Mark won the pool that we had going.
And again the smoke...all is good
