Great Easter Weekend!




The weather wasn't the greatest in the world, but it wasn't white flakes and freezing temps! We spent most of the weekend at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway watching the Sportsman Class Drag Racing with our friends. Some of the Pros were there too. The Force crew had two girls racing Top Fuel Dragsters. Our Mallard Racing Team jumped one more hurdle and made it to the Third round on Sunday. They had so many rain and weather delays on Fri. and Sat. that they had a lot to finish on Easter. We helped set up for an Easter Egg hunt for all the racers kids that were spending the weekend far from home and wouldn't get to hunt eggs. They had lots of good stuff and snacks. A good time was had by all. It was equally fun for me to sample and see all the different foods and snacks available. I decided that if we go bust and I have to go back to work, I could always fire up a catering wagon. Anything gooey, greasy or on a stick sells! We didn't go back for finals on Sunday. After two days up at 5:30 and all day in the outdoors we were exhausted! Don't be fooled, being drag race groupies is very hard work! Went to Easter Buffet at the Railroad Station Casino not far from here. All week we have passed that place and they advertised a wonderful sounding lunch...so that's where we went! It was very good. Played their penny and nickel slots for about 45 minutes before lunch and the whole lunch ended up costing us about $9.00! The temps are starting to climb up into the 80s. I spent last night looking at maps and books to plan our departure on Thursday. We're heading to the coast when we leave here, but will make a stop midway at Victorville CA. and spend a day or two. The Mallard Racing Team will be racing again this weekend at Fontana California...... so will wait for them and they can guide us on into Newport Beach. The clouds are supposed to come in today, ofcourse. Think we may drive down to Lake Mead today. Tomorrow we will pound the streets of Las Vegas, both on the strip and downtown. I'm gonna start taking Tylonol now, because it's gonna be painful! Afterall, you can't come to Las Vegas and not see the sights!
