THUNDER VALLEY!

Panoramic view for your pleasure!

We are on our way to BRISTOL!

We left the house this morning at 4:30am. We are still on the road its 10:15 we should be there in a few minutes. We are going to the Bristol Motor speedway/Dragway. I just saw a sign, Bristol 22 miles!
We are participating in the Spring Fling going for fun and $$$$. Hopefully we will have more of the latter. Lol.
Rolling hills and lots of "overlooks" did I ever tell you I'm afraid of heights...ugh.

The skies on my road

we will be traveling this week to Tennessee for the K&N Spring Fling in Bristol, I do hope we dont meet any skies like this while we are there ..... scarry!

The next night (Sunday) Hubby WON!!!!

He told me over dinner with some friends,
"I couldn't let you show me up"
every body laughed we had a very fun weekend.
The RV was fine, and we found out where a small water leak was coming from....the ice maker. So hubs tightened that up and we shall see in the future if it leaks again :)

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.
