Brent was "voluntold" to work an Air Force recruitment booth at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway during Nascar weekend. Afterwards, he was offered 4 tickets for the race! The tickets are worth almost $100 each! So, he called me and told me to come and meet him. We are not Nascar fans, but it was a great experience. We got good seats and we had a great view of the race. It was also neat to see people coming up to Brent and thanking him for his service in the military (he had to wear his formal uniform). It was a good reminder that being part of the military is a sacrifice, and it's great to see people being thankful for what Brent does.
P.S.
Aaron kept looking for "McQueen". :-)

this is awesome, cathy! i think this is one of those events that i probably would not go to because of lack of interest and for having a daughter. enjoy it while you can.
also, hats off to brent for his service, and for his family's sacrifice while he's serving our country!
sounds fun... hey I'm gonna be in Vegas tomorrow and Wednesday... call me.
Kate- It was cool being able to partake in an event that only happens like once a year, and for free! Did you notice all those people? Some of them, (the ones in RVs in the middle of the track) were camping out for like a week. I heard they paid like $1200 per space. These people are like die hard race fans for sure. ;-)
so... who won?
LOL we left before the race ended. We have no idea. ;-)
that's so cool that you guys got to go for free :D and i love how aaron was looking for mcqueen.. that's so cute haha
