2009 Halloween at Talladega

We had an incredible time at Talladega Superspeedway yesterday. When we arrived, the truck race was still running because there was a long rain delay. It was fascinating to watch the trucks circle the track. Television does not do them justice. It is completely different live. As expected, there was a ton of people.

Before entering the track, security inspected the undercarriage of my truck with a mirror. Then we drove through the tunnel to the infield. It took us a long while to find where we needed to park. After parking, we took our gear to the tent and got setup. After that, we got to enjoy the race atmosphere for a while.

Then we took some pics of the Zac Brown Band with a few fans. Next, we took pics of Dale Jr. with a lot of his fans. Then took pics of Dale’s Q&A in the tent. Finally, we covered the concert. I took crowd shots and then made my way to the stage. I took videos of the concert and will have them posted tomorrow. Youtube is not working at the moment.

Here are some pics that I took with my phone and point & shoot camera. I’ll have better pics from my big camera tomorrow. Steve (the other photographer) has my memory cards so he can upload the pics to the web.

This was definitely an experience that I’ll never forget.

Yesterday is playing a BIG role in losing this weight. I had A LOT of fun yesterday and I know that come April next year, I will have one of those milestone days that I will talk about until I die. It’s gonna be one of those reflection days that everyone has. You know, it’s that day you mention when a conversation leads into participants comparing fun events. April 25, 2010 is gonna be my day, and I AM GONNA BE READY FOR IT!
