This holiday season revolved around our bus La Tortuga
We used the bus as a Motel and escape pod for the long holiday season 22nd thru 26th...very nice to have our own space
The 24th started at 5 am it was 14*, so I broke out my
engine heated and plugged it in (i do have a block heater,
in a box in the bus lol)
Started by taking the "women folk" to spend the day at the
spa.
9am, 9 women, 9 bottles of champagne....bless the staff on
duty!
That went smooth, went home started to prep/cook waiting for
the phone call to come get them....remember Doug...do not
forget ear plugs!
so lets back up a day and have fun, the real reason anybody
has a bus, yes I could of rented a 65 foot long hummer and a
driver.......were is the fun there?
So I decorated the ole girl
yup icicle lights all around, easy install after buying 4
boxes of these:
so we arrived and parked in dads driveway
We loaded up everyone and headed to the Bristol Motor Speedway!!!!! we had I think 14 maybe 12 dunno
Lots of cool lights and lots of traffic...thankfully we were
not in a car and
I was actually able to get up and walk
around... A.K.A. babysit

lol
pretty shots
oh ugh yup those are shots from the roof, I had a 4 foot
tall pink tree and 3 elves sitting on top,,,feet thru the
hatch and tree behind hatch...of course they had wine in
solo cups (no glass...think safety..

)
the Holiday music was playing and I think they got as many
pictures from the kids as everything else
Here are 2 getting attacked by a Dinosaur!!!! awesome wifey on right in pink
secret spy pic from front hatch
before going into track the ladies had to take a break,

we next headed towards the track
into the belly of the beast!
under the stands on the front stretch, this is where you buy
beer and food during race!!! it was a very tight left hander
we drove around and then onto other side of the track
this was very steep and tight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, on to the track
worlds fastest banked short course
infield where Santa stayed while in Bristol
turn 4
start/finish line
cranking the wheel hard and deciding if we will stop and see
Santa in Christmasville ( I was doing atleast 10 mph)
getting ready to exit track; hard right hander up a steep
bank
no worries the track folk stopped a few cars, moved the
plastic poles and walla.....2200 rpm and full boost!
wow that was interesting
