Well, we are headed to Portland in the morning for the ALMS race on Saturday. I have paddock passes and passes into the Corvette Corral. Go Team Corvette!!! FYI, it will be on CBS Sunday afternoon for those that want to watch some real racing.

When I saw the title of this thread all I could think of was Monte Python and I though you were asking for "Alms for the poor."

Monte Python

Sounds like you're in for a FUN weekend Eric! Never been to one of those events.

As for "real racing", many of us will get to watch it in person this weekend too. You may have heard of it....John Force, Kenny Bernstein, Warren Johnson.....the NHRA Nationals.

NHRA?? What's that? Some immigrant's rights movement? Let me know how the new grandstand looks and don't forget your sunblock and water. It will be HOT! TIVO the race on Sunday. Too bad I am not taking my vette down (whole family is going) cause with the Corvette Corral pass they have the vettes do a parade lap this evening either before or after the final practice. That would be cool to see 80 vettes on the course at once.
