Vacation Day #3 - Qualifying


Lining Up
Originally uploaded by stuffle.
Today was qualifying day. I am a bit tired, so I will just give a quick run down of our day.

5:00 - wakey wakey!! Eat some breakfast. Pack the cooler with water bottles and ice.
6:00 - Leave hotel, drive to IMS.
7:00 - Track opens. We got half way to the gate and then realized that I left the camera in the car. Lisa watches our stuff while I go back and get it.
7:20(ish) - Enter the track, and find some seats. We are there early enough where there are some prime seats in the section E penthouse section available (this is in turn 1).
10:10 - Qualifying starts.
10:15(ish) - Jeff Burton takes the pole and keeps it.
12:15 - Qualifying completes. Go grab some lunch and a beer.
1:30 - First practice session.
2:15(ish) - Kurt Bush crashes in practice (haha), at which point we decide to leave.
2:20 - Walk around by the souvenir trailers. Lisa gets some Kasey Kahne stuff, and I pick up some generic Brickyard stuff.
3:45 - Get back to the hotel, respond to some e-mail, write this, relax.

Now it is time to go get a light dinner, and maybe play some cards before packing it in for the day. Tomorrow will be a long, but fun day.

Talk to you all tomorrow.
