I think I would rather drive to New Hampshire spedway, Dover, Pocono or Martinsville than see a NASCAR race in the armpit of the universe, NYC

LOL! While I do not entirely disagree with that statement, out of sheer selfishness and a desire to see more Cup racing, I still wouldn't mind making one Sunday trip a year to NYC. My part-time job is a 7 day a week ordeal, early mornings, so it's very tough for me to make overnight trips. Loudon makes for a LONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG day!

We usually go to the boat show at the Javitts Center and we did go to the Buddy Walk in Central Park this year so I'm getting a little more comfortable in the belly of the beast (never mind all those Yankee fans!).

RE: Waterford-a guy I grew up with drives in the Super X division in the #9 car (had a stars & stripes theme paint job). Bear in mind that we live in suburbia, they test run the car around the neighborhood around 11-midnight during the season. My son really gets a kick out of the fact that they live right up the street!

$5 for me and he gets in free is a heck of a deal for a Wed night of entertainment! I get a beer for myself, a couple sodas for him, a couple hot dogs, and a nacho. We can usually get out of there for less than $30. Not too shabby in the age of $9.50 a head movies and $5 popcorn!

I used to build karts for a kid who was running the #44 x-mod this summer, Phil Balmer. His mom was the secretary for my dads business for 30 years.

When he didn't do something stupid, he usually won this summer.

Here's a pic of 75% of my daughters with the car after a win at Waterford:

Here they are at Lebanon Valley. They love the dirt tracks almost as much as I do:
