... is unexpected before five in the morning, even here at Phoenix International Raceway... I wondered should I put something in my hand before I swing the door?
You kind of know as you reach for the latch that something is amiss...
Our Boss is standing there in the dark needing an emergency replacement for a tram host on the early morning infield tram... "Do you or Heidi want to do it?"
When the crew you work with has a need there's only one answer you can give.
"I'll go" I say... So... I start to getting dressed...
... until Heidi realizes that because she was on the gate the first days of the week... this would be all overtime... and jumps out of bed and beats me out the door... with the excuse... "I've never seen the infield. I want to go."
Ah well... I sat back down in the semi quiet of the light plants drone... and sip my hot black coffee as another NASCAR day dawns... I'm a slooooowwwwww... morning starter... they're lucky she wanted to go... me rushing out the door... without my coffee... is NOT a thing you want to experience... ;)
Today is the Mexican Nascar Race... more aptly named... High Speed Demolition Derby. I'm not sure if they got their inspiration from Nascar... or Mad Max at Thunder Dome...
Heavy Rain is forecast for tonight and into tomorrow's Nationwide race... it could be an interesting weekend...
