Walk the track, sort of; September 13, 2024

Allan called the Indy folks at the Nashville Superspeedway yesterday to find out about the track walk.  They didn’t know anything about it as the track is rented out for the walk but Allan did find out our premium camping does include 4 seats in the stands.

Today’s mission…check out our seats! 

The view is good, you can see the entire track and pit lane. Dilemma! (little known perhaps fact?!  The correct spelling of the word is “dilemma“, not “dilemna”. The misspelling “dilemna” has been used for years, even in books, but it’s not found in any dictionary or grammar book. Do we watch the race from Bailey or the stands.  Guess tomorrow will tell the tale, we’ll try to watch one of the practices from the seats but my money is we’ll watch from Bailey.  

As we’re leaving the seats we see we can go down an extra level to inside track side.  Allan says he thinks we can walk the entire track.  I’m skeptical but I’m in!!

Peek through the wall, this guy didn’t fare well

Here we are on the other side of the track.  Allan is correct, we do make it around the entire track. Here we are on the back stretch
There’s Bailey!  We’re on the wrong side of the gate

 

Here we are back on the correct side

The day was mostly dreary but little rain, just a few drops here and there.  Now the sun is out, hoping for the same or better weather for Saturday & Sunday.
