Today is the Daytona 500!
When I was in my teenage years I was a huge race fan. I loved to go to Thunder Road for the Thursday night weekly races in the summer. Some weekends would lead me to races around New England - Oxford, Maine was always fun. But one of my favorites for the American Canadian Tour (ACT) was Catamount Speedway in Milton, Vermont. Catamount has since closed and the property developed, but Thunder Road, the nations site of excitement, in Barre, Vermont still has weekly races. Although I haven't been for years, I am thinking that it might be time again. I do enjoy watching the Daytona 500 on television, and I am sitting here wondering if I should try to get tickets to next years race. I have been to Daytona, but never for a race. It is one of the things on my "to do" list, or is that my "bucket list". I do have family and friends in Daytona and around Florida, so maybe I should go. Humm, now I better start planning.
