"Live" from the Western Swing

Something I would like to commend Bandimere Raceway on that I have not seen at any other track. If you go over to the credential upgrade booth in the morning each day, they will upgrade your crew ticket to a reserved seat for the day. That is really great. I was able to get tickets over close to the outside railing to where I could use going down. These are really great grandstands for spectators, but if you don't like heights, it can be scary--especially going down the steps with no railings.

Hey Larry,

Just curious, but have you seen at any of the tracks back east a cool down island such as the one that's just beyond (but on the hill side), the weight scale? That island is capable of cooling down 12 race cars at once (as long as the drivers go up to each water outlet/hose the proper way)! I ask because only one other track (out of 18 so-far) that I've been fortunate enough to race on has had anything remotely close to theirs (Pueblo Motor Sports Park has 4-6 of them).

That had to stick out at ya too, huh? Fair warning (if you didn't notice already), it's not for drinking though! More reason to be home sick for Denver...
