Talladega  

Posted by Jim at 11:49 AM  [#]

Last Sunday a group of us went to Talladega to see a Nascar race. We're living in Alabama, after all. There were quite a few "only in Alabama" moments:

You can make up your own captions for those two pictures, because I really have no explanation for them.

Some inappropriate fru fru drinks, and of course the surgeons always have their phones with them.

There were a few people tailgating.

Nascar is very patriotic, of course. You've got your Mack truck racing around the track with a flag, and military jets buzzing the stands.

We were just watching Talladega Nights last night, and afterwards Tony and I wondered whether Talladega was a real place, and whether the Talladega 500 was a real race. Ha!

Captions for you first two pictures:
*Jeb takes the kids for a ride in the family convertible
*"And this lovely model shows us the latest in pret-a-porter from the Cabela's line"

Real? It's surreal. You didn't know that Talladega Nights was a documentary?
