this sentiment is true whether we're watching NASCAR in the US or V8 Supercars in Australia. my company sponsors a V8 Supercar, and Jeff and I were invited to the race this weekend on Phillip Island. the track is about 2 hours from our house on an island that is known for the "little penguins" that live there and come to shore in spectacular fashion each evening.
but, this post isn't about the "little penguins," it's about racing...
so, we set off for a pretty scenic drive on saturday morning and arrived at the track in time to watch some qualifying races...we were fortunate that we were in the suite right above the pits...literally right above the pits...

| not our car, but we were right above the pits |
the most amazing thing about this track is that it runs along the coast and the scenery is beautiful.

| we'd put high-rises on this land in 0.25 seconds |
 |
| nice, rolling track |
the day was filled with qualifying laps and sprint races to determine the starting line-up for sunday's endurance race...our team didn't do so great in qualifying, but sunday afternoon will be the real test.
 |
in-depth pit tour included...apparently they think that i have
something to do with the sponsorship spending :) |
and, for those of you that know b. botham, we met a guy just like him...the only difference was that he wasn't swilling miller lite, it was boag's blonde...JUST like him.

| note the fancy "suit" shorts and pumas |
