Memorial Weekend at work

So, I had a busy memorial day week and weekend!
It was race week at work!
We had World Superbike world championship races!!!
This is the biggest race of the year for us, so there was a lot of prep!

This is my desk a couple days before saturday (the first race day).
I look at this and think, wow, what a clean desk.
Because during the weekend it was a train wreck! I couldn't see either of my filing systems and could barely reach my phone with all the stuff in the way. And i didn't get a picture of the rest of the office...but that was hard to manuvure as well! It kinda stunk because the weather on saturday and sunday were rough! Saturday was full of rain and i was out on my golf cart unprepared for the day! So, i was soaked and chilled to the bone the whole day!
My job for the weekend was to escort and manage all the bands and dance groups we had scheduled to play on our stage for the weekend! So, a band would show up so i would greet them and take them to the stage; they would unload all their stuff and then i would escort them to the parking area and would then take them back to the stage with me on my golf cart.  After they were finished playing i would take them back to get their cars. So, i would be doing this when 3 bands showed up at the same time. I was also doing any other errand that needed to be done!
So, the weather was a total damper on the first part of the weekend....
But, i found a crush of the weekend! On a hot french racer! haha

That is Max Berger #121. Yes, i do have his autograph!
So, anyway. Finally monday comes and the weather is great! No rain and plenty of sun! It's a pretty chill day for me because i only had 1 band in the morning and a dance group in the afternoon. My parents came out so i carted them around and we went to watch the first race.  Because we had a golf cart we could hop around and watch the race from different parts of the track. After the first race ended i had some duties to get to and just toted my parents around with me.

After my parents left, my duties were taken care of. So, i went to see my friend who was in charge of the volunteers. I ended up going out with her and some other people to the west side of the track where the public isn't allowed and watched the last race from a couple feet away from the fence!

So the one in the front is my man Max. This race was kind of crazy cuz after a few laps a driver crashed and spilled oil all over the road. So, they had to stop the race to clean it up. It took an hour... And the leader Carlos Checka(i probably spelled it wrong) was in the lead before and after the spill incident. He had also taken first in every race all day and was the winner the 2 previous years. After 2 laps after the break he crashed. Made me feel so bad! So anyway, after we watched some of that race we headed back to the volunteer tent where i helped out until i left! I had such a fun weekend! I was not a race fan before working here. But....i loved watching these races. Nascar wasn't nealry as cool as this! I worked 3 12 hour days; 2 of which where rainy, cold and windy. Yet, i still had such a fun time!

This is after monday...parents bought cotton candy....If only Max could see me now! haha
