Nice Picture

I was out kiting the other day with Michelle and she got this really nice picture of my kite and me. Just wanted to throw it up on here.

Race Day

So, I promised I'd update the blog with some results of the race. I figured I'd throw in some more pics to make it more real...

Well, as you hopefully picked up on, the XM Acura won the race overall. The Lowe's Acura took first in the Prototype class 2. The Flying Lizard Porsche 911 GT3 RSR of Jorg Bergmeister and Patrick Long took first in GT2. It was a clean competetive race with no yellows. Not an edge of a seater, but still great to watch. Michelle, the champ she is, had a good time reading during the race.

Here's the start of the race. The Ferrari that drives up at the end had been spun out by one of the BMW's on the opening straightway. At the very end the two BMW's both ended up spinning out. That's what all the dust is from.

Thanks Larry H. Miller...rest his soul.

So, for the last four years the American LeMans Series (ALMS) has made a visit to Miller Motorsports Park(MMP) in Tooele Utah. For the last three years James Starr and I (Joey) have gone and watched. Fortunately, my awesome wife, Michelle has tagged along to the race since we got married. This year being the third year and the first since the existence of this blog I feel obligated to post some pictures and brag about meeting people most of you could care less about. I'm gonna do it anyway.

That's Frankie Muniz...really.

I suppose I should put some car pics in there too.

As of this posting the race has yet to be run. From qualifying today it's looks to be an awesome race. More updates after that.
