This is Friday afternoon in the parking lot of the Holiday Inn. We decided to leave on Friday AM this year to save ourselves the cost of a night in a hotel. We arrived to Richmond around 12:30pm. We stopped at the store to stock up on supplies and food for tailgaiting and then headed to the hotel. Since we couldn't check in till 3pm we did our traditional tailgaiting in the parking lot of the hotel before we head to dinner. Amanda, Lisa and I hanging out!
This year we had a new member to our bunch. Kim had to do her motherly duties this year and was not able to join us (YEAH MADISON'S CHEERLEADING TEAM), so Steve invited his dad "BIG DADDY MARK (aka BDM) to join us. Unfortunately Mark worked the night before we left so he was working on no sleep. He did however enjoy a nice nap in the parking lot!
Matt and his famous barstool racer!
Amanda trying out the racer and loving it of course!
Lisa and Nic "our roomies" this year!
Lisa and I on the racer, looking ready. However we had a little spill but we survived and got back on. Sorry Lisa!
Saturday we headed to the track for a day of fun. We set up tent in our normal parking lot and then enjoyed the day. There was a lot of baggo games, washers, and of course riding the racers. However as you can see below Steve had a problem with the chain and his foot. He had to be the accident this year, however thanks to Amanda we had a great first aid kit to help get us through! Kim will probably not allow Steve to come alone again :)
