Back at the Lady in Black

While the events below didn't occur on-site at G's house, G and all of hers were together--so that counts!

It had been a long, long time since we had visited The Lady in Black in person---the Darlington Raceway. 
What with Earnhardt's death, The Rock closing, and it just getting harder and harder to make it home from Charlotte after a race...we just didn't go anymore.

But then Noah caught the racing bug and we all decided it was time again.

Oh yes!  
G had forgotten how much fun it was and how loud it was and all the rest! Did G mention Dale, Jr. was there?

Darlington during throwback week was a good place to start back.

Throwback to old Petty car

Saturday's Xfinity race. Good place to park, good ride to the gate, super good seats where you could feel the debris flying off the track.

It was a Perfect Day with Great Company---so good to be together!

To paraphrase from a poem by G's daddy about lumberjacking ---

It gets in your heart
And it gets in your head.
And you can't quit racing
'Til you lay down dead!
