When I am in NY, it is usually during the race time at Watkins Glen, so that's the one he attends. He's been there twice. A couple of years ago, it worked out that they came back from their vacation in time for us to drive to the next race in Bristol, TN. Gads, we were gone almost 3 weeks. It's like I don't even HAVE an August when I go out there, because half my month is just "gone".
I didn't go to NY this past August because they only went for a week and she feels that she can leave the hired "cowboys" alone that long. It's when they go for 12-14 days that she wants me there. I'm not going this year either, as they are only going for a week and it will be the end of June.
