It was opening day at "Estevan Motor Speedway" today. It turned out to be a great day! Lots of cars. Lots of fans. Lots of fun.
I volunteer out there as a track official so I thought I would post some pictures just so you get to see what the races look like from my point of view.
This is just a nice looking car on an "old school" hauler
Here is the new style "car over" hauler. (Note the steering wheel sticking out of the back of the car that allows the driver to steer the car as he pushes the car into the trailer or rolls it out)
This is my normal point of view.... on what we call "The staging lane". This is in front of the grandstand where we line the cars up before they go onto the track. One of my jobs is to let them know when it is time to go.
These two are from the end of the front stretch wall. I get to stand here and wave caution flags, wave black flags at people (to disqualify them from the race), I check damage on cars when there is a caution and I throw debris off the track
A couple more shots from around the pits.....
On the staging lane with the dude that I am training.....
And, lastly, a video just so you get the idea of what it is like.....
