HISTORIC CAR RACE

SATURDAY WE GOT TO GO OUT TO FONTANA TO THE AUTO CLUB SPEEDWAY - FORMERLY THE CALIFORNIA SPEEDWAY.  NOW WHEN I SAY "GOT TO" THAT COULD BE MISCONSTRUED TO THINK IT WAS ACTUALLY SOMETHING WE WERE ALL LOOKING FORWARD TO . . .WRONG!  ALL I COULD THINK OF WAS 100 DEGREE- HOTTER THAN HADES HEAT. BUT IT TURNED OUT IT WAS A GREAT DAY.  FIRST OF ALL IT WAS ONLY 90 IN THE SHADE, JUSTIN BROUGHT A FRIEND THAT HAD NEVER BEEN TO A RACE BEFORE, ANDREA AND I DRANK OUR WAY THROUGH  A FEW BOTTLES OF WATER AND DIET COKES AND WE ALL THOROUGHLY ENJOYED OURSELVES.  IT WAS THE 13TH ANNUAL SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA HISTORIC RACE - SO JAMES AND I GOT TO REVISIT OUR CHILDHOOD WITH ALL OF THE OLD MUSTANGS, ETC.  BOTH JAMES AND I HAD RED MUSTANGS AS OUR FIRST CARS!
THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE DAY WAS WHEN JAMES QUIETLY WENT TO THE SPEEDWAY OFFICE AND ARRANGED FOR THE THREE KIDS TO RIDE IN THE PACE CAR FOR RACE 7 OF THE 8 RACES THAT DAY! KNOCKED TWO THINGS OFF OUR BUCKET LIST THAT DAY! TAKE A LOOK . . .
