We’ve recovered from yesterday’s anxiety and are ready for an exciting weekend!
Today is explore the track to get familiarize with where stuff is.
We are right next to an small airport; Newton Municipal Airport – Earl Johnson Field

Being in Iowa there are corn fields galore. Fun fact: “Corn has been the top crop in Iowa for more than 150 years running! And that’s not because Iowa farmers just can’t think of anything better to grow. It’s because Iowa is the best place on the planet to grow corn. Iowa has a growing season that is long enough and warm enough to suit corn production.”
Oh, I wish I were an Oscar Mayer Wiener,
That is what I’d truly like to be-ee-ee.
‘Cause if I were an Oscar Mayer Wiener,
Everyone would be in love with me.
Track side spots were sold out, Allan spoke to a Hy-Vee dude who said the tickets went on sale at midnight and were sold out by 1am. We didn’t stand a chance. We “settled” for Club Seats, ours are in the orange section further to the right. We get food/drink and an air conditioned room
