Good Morning, JB fans!
Well it’s another gloomy weather day that I have to
contend with for a race day. I’ll tell you it does
nothing for the hair. There is 60% chance of rain today!
We are staying at a Drury Inn. This is the first time I
have stayed at a Drury. I must say that it’s a very nice
hotel in Kansas. Free hot breakfast, happy hour and even
free soft drinks and popcorn from 3 - 10. They have an
exercise room and a pool that you can either be inside
or outside. The rate is pretty reasonable too - $80 a
night.
Sandi and I are currently waiting for Colleen to arrive
… When she booked her ticket, it was for 10:00 pm - not
10:00 am! So she is going stand by to get here in time
for the ARCA race today. Note - it’s always good to
check out your reservations - I’m the one who caught her
error!
I had a good experience flying yesterday. When I got to
the gate at Detroit, I noticed a lot of blue shirts
hanging around. They said Honda racing. (They must have
a strict dress code policy!) As we were boarding I asked
one of them what team they worked on. He said they were
the engineers for Honda and they were based out of
Detroit. He had just gotten back from Japan - so he was
struggling with getting adjusted to the time change. All
I can say is they hogged the seats in first class so the
Dodge guys and I were shoved back to rows 5 and 6! Ha!
Sometimes the people you sit next to, can be quit
talkative and it gives you an opportunity to learn more
about the types of jobs people have. On the first
flight, the gentleman was a furniture designer and lived
in Zeeland, MI. One thing I learned from him was about
the NWA logo and the triangle that represents the
northwest corner of a compass. On the 2nd flight, the
gentleman was from Kansas. He works for Permatex and
travels weekly for his job. Even trains at the Kent
Skills Center in Grand Rapids. Did you know that Johnny
went to the Kent Skills Center? I always thought JB went
there to get out of being in high school - but I guess
he learned a trade there too!
We met our friends from the Win Tron Racing team last
night. (The name used to be Country Joe Racing and the
team is owned by Kevin Cywinski and Nate Theisse). They
do not have a full time driver - just a mixture of
development drivers. We went to a Irish Pub restaurant.
Some of the television people were they too. I thought I
recognized one of them - so I had to go over and ask him
if we knew each other. We did! Jim Wilson was one of the
camera guys that worked during the ASA days when Johnny
was racing and Ralph Sheehan was the commentator. He is
currently working for the IRL - he said the NASCAR
schedule was just too hectic …. It sure is a small world
…
Thanks for the comments on yesterday’s blog! … I will
try and do my best to capture a photo of Danica - but I
bet her victory photos would be better. As far as
getting JB and her together would be quite a feat -
since the garages are not even close together . Bobby
Rahal and JB picture might be easier - since they are
friends … I will also mention to Trip - that we need a
new truck for Texas …. But is it really the truck or the
unknowns gremlins that cause a mechanical failure????
Well, gotta run and get ready for the day … Long day at
the track with the various practices and we are staying
for the ARCA race …. Go JB and the #23 team!
PS … Welcome home, Mom! (I know you are reading this!)
She flew to Florida on Tuesday in order to drive my Aunt
Jackie home and they made it back in record time last
night! Who is the real racer in the family??
