| Finally, the much anticipated Motorsports Park Hastings race! Drive's not too bad, although there are no
points of interest as exciting as the World's Largest Prairie Dog, like if you're going to Kansas. However, there was the curious
sign just west of Cozad, NE, that said simply, "SODOMY". What's up with that? You for it? Against it? Just want to spark a little
conversation in the car during a road trip? Glad we didn't have the kids with us. "Hey, Mommy, what's that mean?" "Look,
kids! Big Ben! Parliament!"

| Arriving at the track and in Hastings, wow, what a welcome! Everyone is so darned nice. Hastings is a great place. The only
downside is that everyone
there is a red shirt wearing Husker fan, and they put mayonaisse on their cheesesteaks. But those are minor details.
Oh, and the rain. Rain. Rain. And more rain. Saturday I didn't even bother to take pictures, because I went back to
the Holiday Inn to build an ark. Also went to Walmart and picked up a pair of stylish steel-toed mud galoshes. Those puppies
were indispensible for Sunday's mud sucking trek through the infield. See the Trackside link for a picture of my boots
submerged in mud (and also a picture of TimmaY! sporting the same boots - man, it was like showing up at the prom in the same dress!)

| Less than half the pictures there usually are, sorry. No individual galleries this time. And
if you rode in the rain, don't even bother looking for
a picture of you doing so. I don't have an underwater camera. There's nothing at all from Saturday, and I headed in
as soon as it started raining on Sunday. I did the best I could, but it was very slow moving from one place to another. Next
Hastings race should be da bomb if it's not muddy - there's great places to shoot from, but I just couldn't get there. |
