The travails of your blogger
Traveling-- First, I'm not a huge traveler so there's a little angst when I get ready to head out by myself to New Hampshire International Speedway. I must confess both last time and this time I have printed out directions on Mapquest from my house to the hotel, from the hotel to the track, from the track to the hotel and finally from the hotel back home.
I follow those directions to a T. And even doing so, I managed to get turned around each time I left the track to go back to the hotel. This is absolutely ridiculous, but true. This time, I NEED to master that route.
Extra Curricular Activities-- When I went to NHIS in June, it was suggested that I stay away from this place called "Frontier Land" or at the very least not go up there alone at night. So naturally, my first thought was I HAVE GOT TO GO THERE! I am one to go against the grain whenever possible.
So when I got an email from someone inviting me to play "beverage" pong, there was NO way I was going to decline. (Hi boss, this will be on my own time.) I have never played but am very much looking forward to this. I'm a bit on the wild and crazy side, so I should fit right in.
Have you ever played? Is there something else you would suggest that I should see or experience up there in "frontier land?"
Boris Said-- Have I mentioned that he will be going?! Does anyone know if you can buy those wigs at the track? It's all about Boris for me this weekend.

Jen, Good luck with the "Beverage Pong" you will need it with those champs @ NHIS up on the hill. Make sure you take the cup right away if they get the ball in it. Make sure you send lots of pictures, I want to see the wig!! I'm going for Tony this week as always! Have a blast on Animal Hill .

I saw a guy last year that looked half dead.... well mostly dead near the track after last years September race. He kept mumbling "pong,pong".... well no he wasn't saying much. This year we are coming in the back way with the Maine crowd. Tired of southern people avoiding eye contact like they don't see you so they don't have to let you out.

Pretending they don't see you has not been my experience. Mostly they have expected me to just get out of their way so they can go.
Learned the back way since. I'll be out there with you somewhere, Mac.
Go, Tony!!

The back way is the best way, quiet and peaceful til you get to the track. Jen the old Frontier land or animal hill isnt quite what it used to be but its still crazy. "Nice place to visit but wouldn't want to live there" you should be safe though!
Oh yea, expect Gordon to be back in his rythm like he was before he clinched the place in the chase.
