Me and a buddy have an awesome Tradition on Tuesday and Wednesday prior to the mile high nationals. We both work for Fed Ex Express, in Downtown Denver. His house is located in ARVADA and overlooks I-70. He lives about 5 miles away from Morrison, which is where Bandimere Speedway is. We go into work in the morning, Run the AM BOX SORT, and launch all of our couriers. At about 9am, we leave for the day and rest of the week on Vacation. We head to a small little "HOLE IN THE WALL" Mexican Resturaunt that sells the only GOOD CARNE ASADA here in the Denver Metro Area. We get our CARNE "ON" and head up to his roof with a cooler of beer in hand. Usually there is a Ball game on the radio, and we put the lawn chairs up there and WAIT!
Right around 11am the BOYZ start showing up. On tuesday we had 23 rigs pro and NHRA SAFETY SAFARI Rigs showing up, in the period of 2 hours! The First rig this year was Fast Jack's MTS Hauler, (Which Ironically, he WON THE EVENT THIS YEAR) We also counted about 75 sportsman rigs that day. We hang out on the roof getting some sun, drinking beer and listening to baseball on the radio. We do this every year and it get's us PUMPED for the race. Of course, he is usually watching the race and I'm putting down water in the burnout box!
Thursday we get our Credentials, DO THE COORS BREWERY TOUR...and head out to the Mopar Block Party!
It's amazing how pumped up you can get when you see an NHRA RIG Drive by!
Timmah!
