We finally had a nice weekend day, with bright, sunny skies.. So, I grabbed the camera and drove around and took a few pics today (mainly of the truck).

Thanks! I appreciate. I really like the truck. There are a few performance things I'd like to do. But, with this being my daily driver, I can't risk reliability. I may do like you said, though.. "After it's paid off..."

Wonder if Dallas will lose the big games in that stadium like they do now?

Probably so!

Hope not! I'd like to see them win some.

Agreed! I was hoping they would do some last second heroics and pull out a win. Sadly, that was not to be... at least not this year. Maybe they're just saving up for the new stadium? HA!

Thanks! I see you're in Upstate New York now.. Were you local to the DFW area, back then or did you just come down for the race? I have friends that travel all over the place for races. So far, the only race I've been to at TMS is an IRL race, several years back. A friend worked for a company that sponsored a couple of cars. They had us setup in the in-field with a couple of RV's, fully stocked with food, beverages, headsets, pit passes, etc. It was pretty cool. I'd like to go for a Cup race, but things just haven't worked out yet. "Some day..."

Mid-2006, they did a "Laps For Charity" event out there. You bring your street car out there, donate some money to charity, and you get to run around the track for 3 laps. It's all controlled, with on-track monitoring vehicles, etc. So, you can't run all-out or anything. I still thought it was cool to have my car on the track, though. For an extra donation, they took a picture of your car in Victory Lane. It was a pretty cool deal. I'm looking forward to this year's event. I'd like to run the truck around there a few times.
