Off to the Races

Saturday we were able to head to the NHRA Northwest Nationals at Pacific Raceways.  We haven't been in over 10 years, so it was nice to head back to see what we had been missing.

The day was overcast but warm.  Perfect, actually, for being at the racetrack.  We enjoyed watching qualifying and seeing all of the cars we usually watch on TV.  There are no words that can explain the incredible noise and the feeling you get when the Top Fuel and Nitro Funny Cars go down the track.  It's something you just have to experience.  Those people that have been to the NHRA races know what I'm talking about!



We spent some time walking around the pits and saw many drivers.  I got pictures of Courtney Force, Antron Brown and Robert Height.  I got Brittney Force's autograph and we saw many of the other drivers out and about.  That's the one great thing about NHRA....is how they allow the fans to be right up close to their pits.


After the races, we took the back way towards home, stopped in Orting for dinner and finally made it back.
What a great, relaxing day out.  Thank you to Brenda and Joy for watching the boys for us!

Enjoying every moment!
