While waiting for the 1/16 final to come up we took the opportunity to visit the Homestead Speedway giftshop which was located 100m from the track. I bought myself a super detailed 1/24 Nascar car with Dale Earnhardt Jr paint schema. Then we we where finished we start talking with a guy who entered the shop. He was project manager for the track with responsibility for the complete facility. He asked us if we wanted to have a tour around the track. Could we say no? NO, NO!! Such an opportunity selldom pop up!! So, of we go with his FORD SUV making some hotlaps(!) around the track. We also visited the infield and looked at their jet engine blower who is used to clean and dry the track.
The guy who was driving us around, Mark Alexander, have been driving 1/8 track cars and was participating in WC in Gothenburg 1993!! What a conincident. He made our day and even of the 1/16 final ended in a bad way we still have good feeling.
Now we are looking forward to the final day. There are some risks for rain but let us hope it will keep dry.
Until next time folks,
