Starting last Sunday, I been working non stop, sorry if I haven't been around much.  We have a lot of Color Guard duty happening.  Me being the senior Sgt I get the pick of the litter, and I chose to go to the Indy Gran Prix just because I knew I would get a hug from Danica Patrick.  (which I did before the race)

Included with the package was pit passes so I was able to be a part of a pit stop and see how unbelievably fast these guys are at changing tires and filling the car with fuel and adjusting the spoilers.  At once.  It was about 5 seconds.  I don't even know who the driver was.  It was zoooooooooom screeeeeeee stop vipp vipp vipp vipp revv revv revv revv screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee and gone.  Done.

Part of my duty was ride shotgun in the Mustang, that went around this track, and had obviously never heard of brakes...

Edit...I was in the number 6 car.
