Walking over to the entry gate sat the pace car for the Atlanta Motor Speedway.

View from inside the grandstand looking down on the speedway.

The Beach Boys performing last night included founding Beach Boy Mike Love, his son Christian Love, Beach Boy veteran Bruce Johnston, Randell Kirsch, Tom Bonhomme, John Cowsill of the Cowsills and Scott Totten. The only surviving original Wilson brother of the three original Beach Boys has his own band now, Brian Wilson. Two brothers, Dennis Wilson drowned years ago and Carl Wilson died of cancer not too long ago.
This was our preforming group last night.

Tomorrow night we get to see Vince Gill preform. Check back for an update and thanks for visiting. See you soon.
