Yesterday I went to my first MIS cup race since 1990.I had stayed away from a track 2 hours away to attend races 12 + hours away (Bristol & Charlotte) to avoid traffic.
I did have a feeble attempt about 7 years ago to attend a Cup race. But after sitting on Hwy 127 for over an hour and missing the start of the race.
I had decided to stay away from the Cup races at MIS.
The last time I was there, I watched my favorite cup driver at the time Butch Miller.
We had no traffic issues yesterday.
We watched the Citizen Bank 320 and drove right out, no traffic issues at all.
Oh, it was the Citizens Bank 400?
Ok, we left with 40 laps to go.
We saw the winning pass.
Carl was leading.
It was hot.
It was boring.
Typical Michigan.
Great three and four wide racing.
But the traffic is horrid.
And I wasn't taking a chance.
No way.
Traffic in?
No problem, we left Grand Rapids at 545 am, drove right in at 745 am
Since the tickets were free, this Dutch boy don't mind leaving with 40 laps to go.
Kudos to Glaceau Vitamin water for the great time at the hospitality tent.
First class all the way.

Well Schmoe, it has all most been that long for me as well...and it will at least that much longer before you get my butt to MIS for a cup race again. I am glad to hear you had such a good time...hot, boring...etc...good old MIS. Both my sisters and my son went as well. My sisters were in turn four seats and my son on the turn four fence in the infield. More power to them. I think I will stick with hockey for a while longer. This whole thing with JR. has me real peeved as well. Ready to sell all my Jr. stuff if you know anyone looking for stuff let me know. Smiles
