With no Nascar, IRL, Champ Car or Formula One races last weekend, and although there was a lot of dirt track racing going on, I had to find something else (besides watching racing) to do. Here are the Top Eleven Things I did on the off weekend.
11. Pondered why there seemed to be more UVA and Virigina Tech fans on the Outer Banks than Duke and North Carolina fans.
10. Considered the merits of various NFL draft picks.
9. While captive on a ferry, tried to figure out the Formula One Rules.
8. Attempted to locate ONE NBA fan. Unsuccessful. Attempted to find a Nascar fan. Located at least enough to cover a starting field.
7. Got mistaken for a teenager. (And no, boys, this didn't work as a pick-up line if it was one).
6. Wrote an actual letter (not e-mail) to a living legend.
5. While wearing sandals with heels, climbed to the top of a lighthouse. (Not recommended for the faint of heart or those of the unsteady balance).
4. Debated the following with no resolution: Wing vs. Non-wing. World of Outlaws vs. National Sprint Tour. Dirt vs. Pavement. Ovals vs Road/Street courses. Kurt vs. Kyle. Peyton vs. Eli.
3. Experienced and survived some undertow while walking on the beach/ in the ocean.
2. Ate BBQ and hushpuppies while drinking sweet tea.
1. Daydreamed about seeing the first race of the season at Knoxville, the Indy 500 and another Southern 500 at Darlington on Labor Day.
