NHRA in Morrison, Colorado

On July 10, 2008, Brady & I drove from Eagle Mountain, Utah to Denver, Colorado – an 8 hour drive! We’d been making plans since October 20^th to go to the NHRA Drag Races and we were so excited! The drive there was incredible. The mountains are so vast and breathtaking that you can’t help but feel overwhelmed by how small you really are. We drove into Denver at about 8:30 p.m. and were so tired! We spent the night at my Uncle Joe’s. The next morning it was only Friday and since we had tickets for Saturday of the races, we spent some time getting to know Denver. We rode the bus up and down this mall that was in the middle of the city and it was HOT! We shopped and shopped and ate lunch at this really yummy (AND FAST) sub shop. Then my sister Kalie and I went shopping at an outlet mall south of Denver while Brady, Dad, Austin & Collin went shopping for a sailboat. We ate dinner at Red Lobster and doggie bagged (probably 30) garlic rolls.We woke at 6 a.m. on Saturday, July 13th and got dressed for the races as fast as we could - we had all showered the night before. Austin was bent on being the first in line, but we were parked on the second row. Brady and I immediately set out to find "Manley Performance" on any of the race cars. We walked for hours looking and shopped in all the little stores.
