Racing is so much fun! I was runner up!

Coffee in the morning is the best part of RV 'ing I think.

To sum up lastnight, I had the most fun I've had in a long time!
Hubby tried his best but just couldn't hit the sweet spot with his car. He was there for me last night and he was the best teacher! Check out the trophy!

Another great weekend at the track, but this weekend ...I'M racing!

Usually when we go to the track my husband is the racer, but this weekend, it's my turn to play.....
I will race my car. It's all stock - a 2012 Chevy Cruze.
My best friend said she would come out and take pics of me while going down the track. I will post those  this weekend.
We plan on taking the RV and my fur babies :)
This weaken end will be pretty relaxed only one day in the vacation station. The previous weekend we learned a valuable lesson....well a couple.
1. Dump the gray water before you go
2. Turn off the power to the chassis when you have the generator running so it preserves the starting power and charges the accessory batteries.
We found ourselves with an RV that wouldn't start b/c we left the chassis power on. Luckily we have some great people who race with us that are keen on the workings of RV/motorhomes :)
Here are some pics of the race cars....

The top one is Hubby's Dragster - Yes that's me just driving it around :)

This is my car I will be racing this weekend.

I have 3 weeks before I start gearing up for my clinicals in phlebotomy.....Then i will probably start a new job. I have a lot of things going on this summer :) So getting our and enjoying the RV is a priority.

At the track in the Vacation Station!

Its empty now but in a few hours this place will be crawling with alcohol fueled cars and hungry competotors, waiting for their chance at the 1320.
It is a brisk day i would estimate the temp to be about 40 the expected high today is 56-60 so it will be nice and cool and clear blue skies.
My husband went a few rounds yesterday. Hopefully today will be better. He's driving someone else's car and not his own as he is experiencing motor problems. But it should be back together pretty soon we hope. The vacation station is operating at peak performance. I just finished cleaning up from scrambled eggs and sausages that were made by my husband.
Yesterday was a hard day for the dogs I had to leave the track and take them to go to the vet they had their yearly physicals and had to get blood drawn and my little girl Yorkshire terrier Dolly had to have a shot. So she's pretty stiff this morning. Just to be clear we are at Richmond Dragway www
Richmonddragway.com for the Collision1- 10 K Grand Slam.

Cleaning day in the vacation station

We have a 3 day weekend coming up and I thought I'd go ahead and get in here and clean from top to bottom. Notice the Dixie cup sitting on the counter that is full of joyful cleaning potion. I want at pictures from this past weekend unfortunately we didn't take the RV but we did have a fun time at the racetrack. Hubby went 4 rounds that's the whole point in racing is making some rounds and having fun while you're doing it!

I knew it when we left....

I came back with the worst cold ever. We left Friday and i knew my "cold" would kick into full gear while we were gone. Well it did and I had a rough time. My hubby's dragster had transmission issues, and the fella that met us down there had a water pump problem. He fixed the water pump then on the way home that poor guy's truck broke down. If it wasn't a learning weekend then it was just determined to make you mad! Sleeping in the RV the first night was rough. Very different from my home bed and i was ill on top of that. The second night wasn't so bad, but i was ill and tired.
After all of the little blah parts i did enjoy being able to take my fur babies and ride around on the golf cart....here is a picture of the rv with trailer where we were parked...

Getting ready for the maiden voyage

We have many people at our house trying to work out the kinks and answer questions we may have before we head to Dunn NC to a dragstrip for the weekend.
