2009 Northwest National trip

Day 1 Thursday

We left on Thursday this year to go to Seattle to watch the NHRA Northwest Nationals. We haven't done that since 2002! But this way we won't miss any Friday qualifying sessions and will be able to get to the track early on Friday morning. Also being here a day ewarly means one more night at Meeker Street Bar & Grill!
Airport security is getting pretty carried away these days as they took away a bottle of mouthwash from us and a threw it in the garbage! Oh well. Another person had her hair clip taken away , is sad to see your stuff going in the garbeg but htese are the days we live in I guess. Anyway once arriving in Seattle we went to the car rental place and was talked into renting a Mustang instead of the economy car I had originally booked. But it was cool to go to the track in a Stang! Reminds me of the days when we used to take my Camaro down there. Once we checked into our hotel we went for a cruise to Lake Meridian and walked around a bit and then to Safeway to buy a little food and beer. $11.98 for a case of Budweiser, Bargain compared to Canadian prices.
Oh well Off to dinner at Meeker St. Bar and Grill.
