I'm in North Carolina right now, down the street from BLV Motorsports. Don was there. When I got there the first thing he said was, "You just missed Him..." I missed Brian by an hour. AN HOUR. But Don gave me a little tour of the place. Its cool. Theres tons of cardboard Brians, his 07 car is in there, All, or most, of his trophies, his little go-kart, 5 car, 47 car, tons of plaques, and in the back room theres some little remote control cars, Brians own car, it was a really old sky blue Corvette, and his dads own red car, there was alot of flags, more plaques, and some more litte fake cars. Then there was a section of Brians sheetmetal. Tons of stuff, that Brian owns. It was awesome. He (Don) said it wasnt much, but its heaven on Earth for a BV fan! I loved it. We talked alot about some stuff, and we took pictures. It was tottally awesome. Well, just wanted to stop here really quick and tell ya bout that. I'll pop back in tonight, cause I'm going to the rest of the races shops today. Peace! oh, p.s. I got a purity ring made for me!

Ya thats nothing compared to what I did at Bill Davis and Red Bull. Well, it is something, but ya. At Bill Davis, me and my dad were walking around, looking at the cars between the 2 black lines, and my dad asked someone something, and he looked at my shirt, it was a Little New Smyrna 500 shirt, and his son raced Quarter Midgets too, so we talked about that, and we got talking to the whole team. Well, some nice old man walked over to me and told me to follow him, so I did, and we came to a finished-being-worked-on car, and he told me to get in it. ME in Dave Blaneys car. WOW. So I got in and it was AWESOME. I got tons of pictures. It fit me kinda well. lol. But then he took me and my dad into his race trailer. It was huge! They had it stokced with food, and even a drawer full of CANDY. lol. And they have like tons of parts and suits and helmets and stuff. It was so cool, and Dave was in a meeting, me and my dad were gonna try to wait so we could meet him again, but it was too long of a meeting. Dave looked down and smiled at me though... The Red Bull shop was cool. The first day I went, I was looking through the window, and I saw someone and waved. He waved back. I didnt know who it was, but it looked alot like Matty. So we asked the receptionist girl and she said he just left, so we came back the next day and she called him up and he was there, so he let us in the shop, where the cars were, where fans arent usually allowed to be, only to look at, behind the glass windows. It was AWESOME!!! We talked about the car, and he asked me if I wanted to touch it. So I did. It was his Ohio car. So when Ohio comes, and I see the Red Bull on the back, Im gonna point right to the R and the B and say, THATS WHERE MY HANDS WERE!!! OMG!!!!! lol. Then, we all went back into the rooms where people are working on the computers, and we looked at all the Red Bull Athlete pictures. It was coolio. Some shops were sad. Like, I love Kasey, but Evernham was sad. There was like, no one there. Maybe 1 person who worked there in each building. But ya. Rousch was ok.... not really but ya. Hendricks was really cool. I only checked out the Gift Shop and Jeff and Jimmies part of the place. Cause I only like Jeff and Jimmie from Hendricks... Jeffs Midget was HEE-UGE compared to my Quarter Midget!! OK, well, I got to go unpack, I'll post more later...
