This weekend I was lucky enough to tag along and watch some auto cross racing. We were out in the middle of no-where, east of Denver in the flat lands. The weather was beautiful and there was plenty of action.
We left on Saturday afternoon and made it out to the track at sunset. It was beautiful and with being so far away from the city, once the sun set the night sky was breath taking. Stars as far as the eyes can see. We unloaded all our gear, threw a few PBR's in our pockets and hit the track on foot for a little walk. I've never raced cars but I can understand lines on a race track. It's very similar to ski racing. It was fun to look at a turn and know exactly where I would need to be to crank through the turn as fast as possible. After walking the track under a starry sky (it was almost magic :)) we headed back to the trailer and called it a night.
We got an early start on Sunday and luckily it was another incredible Colorado blue bird day. The races started early and ran through out the day. It was fun to sit back and watch all the excitement buzzing about.
I had to drive the "hamster" out because I had to leave early on Sunday but if you look close enough at the picture you can see the Rockies. Thank god it was a straight road, driving and trying to take a picture is not the easiest thing! hehe
