Yesterday The chump car races were held at Sebring International Raceway. The hotel where Terri works was the host hotel so a lot of them were staying there. The people that put them on gave here 3 armbands so she and I went for a couple of hours. As near as I can tell Chump cars consist of just about anything. There were 3 or 4 VW Bugs, a couple of Lincoln Town cars and everything in between. 90 cars started the race and it was to be a 14 hour race so I have no idea how many finished. The temps were hot around 92 degree's and there was a heavy rain about 6 in the evening so they had all kinds of conditions to race in.
Watching a race like that on a 3 1/3 mile track is about like watching paint dry, you only see them when they come down the home stretch every lap. The most exciting part is watching the pit crews work on them when they are having trouble. Lawn Mower races are much more exciting to watch.

Interesting. Glad to see your blog. Miss you guys.
We went on a 4 day trip to Durango, Ouray, and Telluride, CO with our friends from Grand Lake. We saw awesome colors.
