the weekend kicked off with a crawfish boil in gabe & rob’s backyard. our resident cajuns, derek & james did things right. we had some fresh crawfish fedexed in straight from louisiana. we did 2 boils, one crawfish, one shrimp. the boils contained a little of everything, corn, potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, artichokes, onions, and lots of spicy seasoning. needless to say, we ate really well on a friday evening. the weather was perfect, but got a little chilly late. cue the bonfire.
saturday, the weather again was perfect. the beer was cold. a great day at the track. we ended the day with a bus ride back to the car. notice the mullet in front of us on the bus? sunday we got a later start, as we rounded up the crew to head back to the track. we managed to score a sponsor parking pass which really came in handy. after a long walk, and a short golf cart ride (thanks paul), we sat up with the APR Racing folks at their buses, and watched the first half of the Indy Grand Prix race. we finished the race in the shade near turns 1-3. another perfect day weather wise, and fun all around. helio castroneves won the inaugural Indy Grand Prix of Alabama. looking forward to next year. whose got my tickets? also, if you have never checked out the museum, definitely something not to miss, especially if you like motorcycles.
thanks to gabe & jay for the additional photos.
