Not the typical Spring Break

It is that time of year for most college kids, myself included.  It is Spring Break.  Most think of Florida, Cancun, Panama, and other warm places.  Well, call me an oddball, or call me a diehard race fan.  While most were planning out these trips, I was scouring my calendar for races the weekend of my Spring Break.  The one that I eyed, as I did a year ago, is the Spring 50 at Florence Speedway.  I wanted to a year ago, but was dog sick.  I even had a ride lined up.  This year, as long as mother nature plays nice, I will kick my season off here.  Do I enjoy warm places similar to where me counterparts are?  Sure.  It's been all winter though, and I am ready to smell the sweet smell of race fuel in the air, see dirt flying and cars running side by side, and the sweet sounds of powerful racing motors at full song.  I would much rather spend my break supporting the sport I love more than just about anything else.  That time is almost here for myself and many others.  The ice has thawed, the weather is warming up, the drivers are itching to go as well.  I am ready for the green flag to drop on my 2011 season!!
