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. <\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

I found out that this year is the final year that the event will be held at Heartland Park<\/a>. 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
