With the Kansas City race this weekend at the Kansas Speedway this weekend, I figured I should post these.  Its photos from several years ago, that I lost, and then found the other day!

Sweet pics Brad! I wanted to go to Newton a few weeks back. With KC we have some good close tracks.
I don't know if I will ever get used to a green 88 though.

Sad to say but my first was Bristol Food City 500 in '99. I lived in Louisiana at the time so it was an easy drive.
Rusty won - Dale & Martin came in top 10. Martin was #2 or #3 - I can't remember.

Again - Sad to say - When I moved from Louisiana back to Omaha I lost too many things. I threw out 100's of floppies / 3 1/2 without looking at what I was throwing out. They were pretty bad .jpg's though. I was just getting used to Digital Photography back then.

I worked at a deisel rebuilding fact in the late 70's south of 108th and Giles and had a boss who was so nascar - he could hear things noody else could. He took my parent units to places that I rue about.

Never been to anything but a dirt track, but I would love to see a NASCAR race sometime.  Nice pics Brad!
