Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Pics and Videos Ameristar 200 @ Kansas Speedway, with Pics!

Well, my first ever race in general and it was AWESOME!

My friend called me Saturday afternoon and said his Sis-in-law had 2 tickets and a few extras and wanted to know if I was interested in them. He didn't want to go, so I said "Hell yeah!" and called VenomSVT. Sunday morning comes and off to the races we went!

Ended up with Infield/Pit passes, passes to the Hospitality area and tickets to a private Air-conditioned suite! I was dumbfounded! The suite had all the food, pepsi and beer we cared to drink for free! Only problem was, the temp it was in excess of 100 Degrees and beer was unfortunately the last thing on my mind.

Here are a few of the nearly 100 pics I took, there are more if you follow the link in my Sig, and click on Ameristar 200.

Before the race, I was an average IRL fan, lets just say now I am hooked! Those cars sound sooooo amazing flying by you at speeds in excess of 215mph !

The only wreck of the day, the pole sitter who had an awesome car all day!

Like I said, there are more in my sig, see the first post!

Yup you officially suck
Sweet pics

Damn! That looks like a sweet time. Gotta get ahold of some pit passes for a race at PPIR. Enough of this grandstand business . . .

Agreed!

AGREED again!

I love the liberal use of duct tape on race car's engines.. :p

Word Man. Wish i could of been there.

I was at the speedway today picking up some cars for Bill Woods dealership and saw some sweet Infiniti pace cars in the pits. I felt cool.
