Knoxville was amongst 9 straight nights of racing for me, 10 races in 11 days.
I thought the track conditions and the racing was fantastic! Wednesday wasn't the greatest, I guess the track held up too good for more than one groove to be established. The rest of the nights were fantastic barring the crash on Thursday.
Being in Knoxville is like taking a step back in time. I never imagined so many roads left unpaved! LOL
The food was excellent OUTSIDE of the race track (Cattlemans, KinFolks, etc.) ....I found the only thing worth eating at the track was Pizza Hut. I didn't enjoy being railroaded into one brand of beer available at the track though. I'm a believer in choices!
We bought some steaks at the deli downtown and grilled them and they were excellent as well.
A man rode past us at Wal-Mart, asked if we were from out of town, and then thanked us for spending our $ there. I could talk about the trip more, but I'm still in recovery mode.
It won't be next year, but I'm already planning on being back in 2010!
