I just had the most AWESOME 4 day trip to Charlotte NC for the ONMC Convention and the ALL STAR Challenge. MAn ohh man I am still in hog HEAVEN......SO Tammy, this is what it feels like to be in Trisha's PRESENCE????????????????.....Besides meeting all my nacsar buddies, I will start off with who I met ..Richard Petty, Joe Gibbs, Kenny Wallace, Reed Sorenson, Jon Wood, Richard Yates, SAM Bass, Winston Kelly..I went to the Sam BAss Art Gallery and it was totally awesome. Then I went to Hendrick Motor Sports ( full grand VIP Tour), Wood Brothers RAcing, Robert Yates Racing, Joe Gibbs Racing, Jr. Motor Sports, WHere else....I know I am missing something...LMAO....I got to talk to Mr. Gibbs for a few, he dearly misses Terry Orr who I went to H.S. with ......

At the All-Star race I got to be in the MOSH PIT..OMG...some good pic, and more to come from friends. I got to watch the Nextel Open from the infield...As the Pit Crews marched in before US, they where tossing towels...and I yelled at my DUPONT Boys....and they made sure I GOT ONE...YEEEEEHAWWWWWW....I was standing in pit for Driver Intros right next to Bobby Lebontes Crew ( I could touch them)...I would of been to main walking stage, but a friend who had ASTHMA was with leading us, toooo much for her, had attack, we had to stop first stage spot and I dig out her inhaler for her. She appologized for it, I said BABY, I take your LIFE more important than touching Jeff or any other drivers hand in a HEARTBEAT. I was ready to leave the Mosh with her if needed.

But thats what I did this past weekend.......IN HEAVEN

Many Blessings,

Oh Melanie! You got to go??? Wow!

We were so upset this week-end, we didn't get to even watch the race on television! It wasn't on the regular channel, it was on the SPEED station, and we don't get that! We saw snippets of it all on ESPN the next day, but sure was sad we couldn't watch it!

I am so glad you got to go and have a great time! Can't wait to see those pictures!!!

Bummer Debbie....I have it on DVR recorded, but no way to copy...LOL..I will send all soon...Kayleigh loves the video I took of the Drummers with my Camera, even though you can't hear sound...She took the Drum Stick I caught to show to Aaron the other night...He was jealous...LOL...Aaron teaches and helps the drummers in the HS Band.....

Melanie

....Howdy Sarah....will send you pics as well......It was fun....A Friend of mine has an extra ticket for this weekends race..but I have to run the Store........so she said she will try and get me something cool from one of the Drivers..She's got friends in High places...LOL....On both Jr.'s and Tony Stewarts Crews.

Melanie
