I don't, reading the Cliffs notes version is all I need. :lol:

But I am looking forward to the pricey Smithsonian souvenirs they're gonna bring back for us loyal subscribers.

:thankyou:

The only thing they had room for was a pencil.LOL

Trunk of the Camaro full?

The way this journey is going they may dump that Camaro and get a Storage Pod to fill with used NASCAR junk..........and beer. :D

That is cold Ron. :shakehead:


lol

:catfight:

Then the artist formerly known as 'Bad Ron' will be 'Mad Ron'...


:D

Trunk was full of car parts, the inside the car full of luggage. Was cracking me up, the luggage was wrapped in garbage bags to keep it dry. Would have loved to see the face of the Hotel personnel when these two guys walked in carrying garbage bags.

Rumor has it Vegas is giving odds that security footage of Flash and/or Rob will go viral on youtube for some indiscretion...



:thankyou:

this trip sucks
 

Dangit it's hard to find time to post regularly with so much action and hospitality..... Payton and Ron are some of the best people to ever let some idiots from California come stay with them.... :cheers:

Left Ron S's house Sunday night and made the 2 hour-ish drive to DC. :flag2:

This guy gave us (and only us) the "detour" away from the Capitol building when we get within 3 blocks... I mean, what could be suspicious about a rusty old truck with a carcass of an old car on the back? :lostmarbles:

"No Parking Any Time"? Right.

Front row parking (free) at our Art Deco hotel in downtown DC... another score.

this still sucks
 

Payton took us to one of his local Nascar "connections" (a fast talking guy from Jersey, ironically :lol:) and we started digging and ended up with a nice little pile... this is some of it

Had to stop by Roush Yates around the corner too

Another score with some authentic Carolina BBQ (great call Payton). Bryan, if you are reading this.... well, just don't. :twak:

After NASCAR shopping and late lunch we hit the go kart track down the street and with more uncanny timing we had the track to ourselves. We ran 2 races so whomever won race #1 would have to back it up and that proved fitting. I won the first race and Rob got me on the 2nd one. Before he comes on here to point out his Ford greatness and shifter kart racing past I'll say he did get fast lap of the day 44.4 to 44.8 and Payton right behind us.

In a related story.... a Chevy guy with 2 Fords and a Ford guy with 2 Chevies decided what more fitting of a place to call a truce than the U.S. Institute of Peace. I am sure it is a wonderful use of American tax dollars. :bang:

And finally our latest foreign exchange host family showed that true southern hospitality and provided us some tasty night cap beverages after a hard day of shopping and a delicious home cooked shrimp soup (Thanks Cheryl). :cheers:

Looks like 'stranger danger' has been replaced with 'safe friends'. :badidea:
