Mrs. Phorqs didn't make it but it was good to finally put faces to names when Monte, Justin, and Barbi showed up. That was a really great way to spend a Saturday morning at the Nextel Cup garage at Texas Motor Speedway. There were probably 30 or so Beemers present with probably about 1/4th of them airheads. While I was coming through the tunnel to the infield garage area there was a NASCAR training session going on overhead. The thunder of those cars was just amazing. I was suitably impressed and I'm not a NASCAR fan by any stretch. (Maybe if they have a halftime during the race and then start running clockwise we might learn who the best driver is and not who has the best car? Now that would be interesting!)
We spent a couple of hours kicking tires and bench racing. So thanks to Brad Gillie and the TMS for opening this up to the folks in the Fort Worth/Denton/Crowley/Dallas area. And Monte, thanks for the brewski's.
