HarvDog Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 I'll be going to my first Nascar race this Friday night in Richmond. It's the Busch series race and not the Nextel Cup but I'm very excited since I've never been before. I guess I should pick a driver, huh?

VABuckSlayer Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Re: Richmond Emerson Radio 250 I'll be in the infield between turns 1 & 2 Harv Dog. I'll have a fence crew on standby for all the races this weekend starting tonight. I actually have to leave soon to go. We will be wearing bright yellow coveralls with Track Crew on the back. Will be hard to miss us! Hope you have a good time! Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VABuckSlayer Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Re: Richmond Emerson Radio 250 You would need a Pit Pass to get into the infield and unfortunately I don't have an extra. I could meet you somewhere at the grandstand side. There's a tunnel that comes out from the infield in turn one. I could meet you there. I'll PM you my cell phone # and we could hook up. I'll be out there around 4:00. I have a garage pass too and usually hang out there with a friend of mine who's a pit member of Matt Kenseths team. We went to High School together and played ball. Anyway... give me a shout when you get there and I'll meet you somewhere. Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James7xChamp3 Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Re: Richmond Emerson Radio 250 You are in for a treat. Richmond is an awesome track to watch a race at. It's the best night racing there is for NASCAR IMO. Bristol is a little more exciting but it doesn't have the atmosphere of a night race like Richmond. It's lit up to bright. Richmond is just right. Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VABuckSlayer Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 Re: Richmond Emerson Radio 250 Glad you had a great time HarvDog! I think that's the largest crowd I've seen for a Busch race at Richmond. Maybe next time we'll get together. I did talk to my buddy who pits Kenseths car. He had knee surgery before the Richmond Spring race and he is pitting the Busch car as rehab. He will be back on the Cup car next season.

AdvantageTimberLou Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 Re: Richmond Emerson Radio 250 (pix) Awesome pictures!! Thanks for sharing!! Isn't racing great when your there live in person?!! TV does not do it justice, the rush of air, the smell of rubber & racing fuel, and all the fans make it something everyone should try at least once in their lifetime!

HarvDog Posted September 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 Re: Richmond Emerson Radio 250 (pix) That's exactly what I've been telling everyone. You definitely have a new appreciation for it after being there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABuckSlayer Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 Re: Richmond Emerson Radio 250 (pix) Yea HarvDog. We fixed the fence after the race. I got home that night at around 1:00am and I only live 20 minutes from the track. Great pics man. You must have been sitting right across the track from me. We were in the infield between turns 1 & 2. That wreck with the 64 car was right in front of us. Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a bunch of guys in the yellow prison jump suits so I'm sure one of them was you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VABuckSlayer Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 Re: Richmond Emerson Radio 250 (pix) Negative. I was in a fold up chair sitting in the back of my Toyota pick up truck. We had 2 blue flat beds that had Hercules Fence signs on them and a white F-150 too. We were right by the photographers stand beside the Sonoco sign. We are there for every race including the Indy cars. BTW... I did see a camo hat in the stands!! Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
