The “Wax Burger” At Auto Club Speedway
We all sat around the neighbor’s table for a while, telling stories and what not but eventually Terry felt a tug toward the FanZone area where all the trucks for the drivers were. It’s a bit of a hike to get over there (maybe a mile or more) but I was feeling the ants in my pants too so we set off together to see what the future might hold for us.
It was cool because most of the same stuff was there as we saw last night but less than half the people. We bought a couple of things and snapped a few pics but mostly we talked about racing. Since I know the least in the group I listened pretty intently and asked several dumb questions (Terry was very patient).
On our way back, about 3/4 of the way, we jumped a tram that ended up removing about 500 yards of walking. I met a nice woman and her mother and talked about her daughter needing antibiotics. Her daughter is just one year older than my Abby so it was pretty interesting. But still I thought to myself, “wow, I can’t imagine bringing my kids here until they’re at least in their teens”. That feeling may change as the weekend goes on but for now it would seem weird to me.
When we actually returned to our camp site Kent and Darin were finishing up what is now known to me as “The Wax Burger”. It was a regular 1/3 pound beef patty with pastrami, cheddar cheese, Dijon mustard and thousand island dressing. Holy mackerel! It was awesome and came just at the right time. Apparent;y since he cooked for me tonight I have to be his “runner” all day tomorrow. Totally worth it! I’d do it again in a heartbeat. Actually, I’ll let you know what my fetching duties involve tomorrow and see if I’m comfy reiterating.
