Where's Nic?: May 4-7th

Friday – Travel Day

Columbus > Atlanta > Lawrenceville, GA

After a week at home, I was anxious to get back on the road again.

I got up at 5:30a, even though my flight wasn’t until 12:39p… you guessed it – I hadn’t packed. And about a million other things that needed to be done before leaving.

Fast-forward to 12:10p… I boarded, had the Delta Drink of the Month – Rumway Runner and was asleep before take off.

Landed at 2 – was on the road around 2:45. Yes, it takes that long. And I didn’t even check a bag!

Headed north to Lawrenceville – it should take about 35 minutes. It took an hour.

Got checked into the hotel and worked on the family reunion stuff for a hour or so.

Before I knew it, it was time for bed.

Saturday – Race Day

Met up with my AP, Rich at 8a and we headed up to Commerce, which is about a 45 minute drive. It’s been about 6 weeks since we’ve seen each other, so this gave us a chance to catch up on gossip.

This is my first time to this track. And actually, I never even really saw it. For safety reasons, they have moved our compounds further from most of the tracks.

Here are a few shots of the compound:

Another change is some of the cameras that once were trackside, are now ran remotely from our compound. They are ‘housed’ in a tent. For the camera guy, they have the same controls that they used to have, however, the actual camera is not on their tripod – it’s trackside.
