Yesterday was a dream come true. We attended the Daytona 500. Our seats were awesome and the race was terriffic. It was a little cold but that did not dissapoint our enthusiasm. Sure Jeff Gordon struggled, but his teammate Jimmie Johnson won the race.
Carol Ann said that she enjoyed the race, so I am taking her at her word. I do know that she enjoyed the pre-race Bon Jovi concert. Maybe that is why she is always asking me to grow my hair out!
We had scanners that allow you to listen in on the conversations between driver, spotter, and crew 
chief. Carol Ann really loved this feature, plus she was able to hear words like, *#$$@@!!!, &h#)^%%!, and #!^&%5 %%#22#4!!
You can check out the photos here or in my PHOTO ALBUM.
Rob and Carol,
That is so cool for you both! Rob, I think it is so great that you got to go to the race. I know racing has been such a passion of yours for soo long, and what greater race to attend then the ultimate, the Daytona 500! Have a great trip home, and we will see you both soon.
Dave
