2008 Festival of Speed

Posted on October 11, 2008 by under Family, Flickr, Life, Travel.    

We had a great time at the Festival of Speed, watching the SCCA National Championship Runoffs, today. It was the first time I had ever been to Heartland Park in Topeka. It was Brian’s first time there, too. We had been to nearby Forbes Field a few years ago, but never in Heartland Park.

Here are some photos we took today…

While we had a blast watching the cars race, our adventure today was somewhat bittersweet. Our first time watching the SCCA National Championship Runoffs might very well be our last.

I found out that this year is the final year that the event will be held at Heartland Park. The SCCA’s Board of Directors have chosen Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin as host for the event in 2009-2011. I doubt we will ever go to Wisconsin just to watch the races, but Brian could see himself occasionally driving up to Topeka. It’s sad that the SCCA National Championship Runoffs won’t be back next year.

We had fun at Cory and April’s post-wedding get together at Lake Afton last night. Brian helped inflate several air mattresses. He also helped put together four different tents. He feels totally accomplished now that he has extensive tent-assembly experience.

It was a beautiful day/evening at the lake. It made me want to go camping. I want to return to Kanopolis, though. Maybe Brian and I can go at least once this year.

P.S. All the spiders gave me the heebie jeebies, though.

P.P.S. We took a lot more pictures than this. Check out the Flickr set for more.
