    Wondering if anyone wanted to meet up at the race this year. Last year was the first time my friend and I attended. And now we are so hooked! So we're going back this year and thought it would be a cool way to meet up with some fellow enthusiasts. AF_1132 is going and will be singing our national anthem at the race. Let me know your thoughts and if you plan to join us. That way we can maybe plan something after the race.

    I can't tell you enough how much fun this event is! Well, I can.

    IT IS A BLAST

    One of the greatest things about this event is the fan parade out onto the track. The teams, drivers, and cars are lined up at the start, and we all get to go out there and check them out.

    Come to this event!
