Last Day of Racing before the celebration, second only to the new years spectacle.  The awards ceremony ran a close second with fireworks, cold beverages and a DJ.  We celebrated with the crew from Contrary Mary, met some new comrades, chatted up with some of the racers and whooped it up!

After you buy your batch of $5 drink tickets you head to the bar and you can either get a pretty expensive beer for $5 (which should cost $2) or you can get a super duper strong mixed drink.  Which do you think we got once we discovered they were both 1 drink ticket?

Of course we were famished and luckily I spied a food line.  Hmmm, I bet there are food tickets so I went to investigate.  Unfortunately, by the time I got to the ticket booth they were “sold out” of food tickets yet there was still a ton of food.  So, I grabbed my partner in crime and meandered over to see what I could grab.  After a little smooching, puppy eyes, and a lots of smiles, Princess and I walked away with two huge plates full of shrimp and burgers for the boys. Score!!!  The rest of the night might be a little vague but evidently I felt the need to commandeer a chair in front of Perseus, probably only got away with it because we were being silly swabs.

Pics that take your breath away – so spectacular!
