Day 2 South Dunes Campground ISM Raceway Phoenix, Arizona

I was so confused this morning. Yesterday we crossed into Arizona from California. There is an hour time difference. Last night was daylight savings time. Arizona doesn’t do daylight savings time. My phone said it was 11:02 am. Tim’s phone said it was 10:02 am.

I googled “what time is it in Arizona right now?” and this is what Google told me…

I still really didn’t know what time it was…I texted Kyle and subtracted 3 hours. Tim’s phone was correct. All this time we have been traveling back and forth from California and Arizona and our phones have automatically updated. It’s not usually any big deal…we have NO schedule whatsoever, but today we had race tickets!

Tim really really likes NASCAR and I don’t mind going along. When we found out that the Phoenix race was the same weekend that Kyle and Allison needed to be at the Phoenix airport…we took it as a sign. This is the view from the roof of the RV.

It was a beautiful day for a race!

In the background you can see the infamous Rattlesnake Hill. You can pay $20.00 for a spot on the hill and watch the race.

The 16 year old girl, Chevel Shepherd from The Voice did an outstanding rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. The fireworks, the soldiers with the flag, and the Blue Angels flying overhead…what a rush!!

Happy Hamlin fan.

My favorite part of going to a live race is the first time the group of race-cars comes around the corner at full throttle. Such speed and power…Even if you are not a race fan…you have to appreciate the machine!

Kyle Busch was a strong contender all day and won the race.

We walked back to the RV for a quiet evening.

Thanks MOM for our Christmas gift!!! We had a great day!!!

We are really not certain where we will go tomorrow. We need to get some routine maintenance done on the RV and we want to get it done here in Phoenix. Stay tuned!
