Las Vegas kobalt tools 400 (Vegas PICS ADDED, That's right. Vegas BABY)

Woo hoo!
Just leaving the speedway after a pretty good race day.

My Jimmie J came in second in his backup car after he wrecked his primary in practice.
Tony Stewart won by a car or two after a 5 lap restart.

Rented the new NASCAR fan view video/radio system which is just awesome. Listen to everything plus see any stat or replay video.

Just a damn nice weekend down here and weather is perfect!

Being a mechanic / repairman everything came in handy as our Setra tour bus wouldn't start. Bad fuse in one of the main buss systems, so helped the driver fix it.

Back to Vegas for some rest, dinner, and see if I can convert any money I have left into a windfall!

Then drive home tomorrow back to Utah.

Man, everybody had a sunburn!

In a slow moving convoy of tour busses going thru Nellis AFB on our "shortcut" back to Vegas. Literally hundreds as far as you can see.

I'll bet there isn't a spare bus left on the west side of the country today!

Will load some pics when I get home from the dslr camera.
Got some awesome night pics of the strip last night.

I thought the same thing til I went. It's different in person. Loud, fast, and if you go take a bathroom break or grab some food you don't miss much. Unless you go during a wreck *shakes fist* The wrecks are the best!
