Visiting the B2 bomber
Last year when we went to Kansas for the race we took a pretty cool trip to visit the B2 bombers. We got hooked up the year before at the race with one of the guys that is way up at the base and he told us that if we dropped him an email he could get us a tour of the B2 and shoot some M16's. So last year we dropped this guy an email and everything went through. We met up with a 2 star general and took a tour of the bombers, the hangers there in, and got to shoot some M16's. This year we are heading back to the base for some more action. Its about a two hour drive from our hotel but it will be worth it. This year there going to let us fly a simulator. Ive never flown *&^% before so this should be cool. Along with shooting the M16 and seeing the bombers last year, we got to visit a bomb shelter on base that controlled the launching of some major missiles. Now as you can tell by my choice of words I m not a very educated military type guy. So I'm just telling you what I can remember. Any ways tomorrow should be pretty cool visiting the base and everything, and then its back to racing. Ill try and post some pictures from our trip and let you guys see what I'm talking about.

Kick butt at Kansas Trent........This is a little off the main subject Trent but....Where are all the Newman Bashers now that your currently Second in points? On E-Bay selling "there" favorite driver's die casts? How can you make fun of Ryan Newman with out making up crap? Ok, we have heard all the no neck jokes but he always passes the "Room of Doom" neck templet when checked by the officials. He has been thrown into the Nascar media arena of once in a while wrecking out other drivers. All drivers at one time or another are given that tag! Race cars don't stop on a dime folks at 190 miles an hour.......I guess it's your right to follow who ever you want so all you Newman Bashers can leave all the poles,wins and future Championships to us Newman Fans!.....You can donate your non-Newman tee shirts to the "Goodwill" store today if needed. We want to wear ours to New York!

Hope you had fun with the planes.
The bombers are awe inspiring, but my favorites are the A-10s.

According to Jayski, the #12 hasn't passed inspection yet, even after adjustments were made. Not sure what that means as far the race.
