Arriving at the Speedway, we start unloading.

Dwight prepares for his first run of the day but not before posing for some pictures. The bleachers look full don't they? But they're painted to fool the eye and make it look like it's full of spectators. There were no spectators in these particular stands.

He straps himself in with a 6 point harness. The cage which was recently installed can e seen by his left elbow.

He's on his way. Drivers side has a window net for additional safety.

Each run is about 15-18 minutes. This is the back straight away. Advertising billboards abounds. Our Orange 21 is the 3rd car down.

Dwights coming in from the run. This picture was taken from on top of a building.

Paul and Dwight take a break between runs. The canopy attached to the trailer provides a much needed break from the Las Vegas heat. Always at our side is the ice chest filled with lots of cold water.

His suit is fire retardant and extremely hot on hot summer days. It was 90 degrees in the afternoon on Saturday and Sunday.

He changes out his new tires after his first run on Saturday and let's them rest for 24 hours before putting them back on for the Sunday race.

Paul was extremely helpful being part of the Team. Tires needed changing, and pressure of each wheel is carefully monitored after each race and lowered to a proper temperature. As the day wore on and the tires became more heated, they expanded and had to be bled out more after each race.

Dwight visits with fellow driver and mentor Alan. Alan's wife, Dottie also races, but had other committments for this weekend and couldn't make it.

Dwight and three fellow drivers from Colorado during the social hour at the end of the day. Dave Stribling is on the left.

No alcohol is allowed open anywhere inside the speedway until all cars have been called in for the day and the speedway is no longer "hot".

Chief Pit Boss (Blondie) and Dwight. My job was to keep the car shiny clean~~~~~ and clean it was.

Daydream Racing Team is getting ready to hit the road to Denver - It's only 14 hours!
