Daytona International Speedway Called This Evening

This evening about 30 minutes ago. The cell phone rings to the tune of Final Countdown. Caller ID shows an 800 number. I think, "Toll Free?" I click the green answer button and speak into the receiver, "Hello?"

"Hi, this is Angie calling from Daytona International Speedway. Our records show you came to the Pepsi 400 last year but you didn't renew your seats for this year. There are still seats available, don't you want to come?"

"Trust me Angie. I am dying to go. But it seems I am the only person in Miami crazy enough to make the trip."

"Well, you'd better find someone quick!"

"I'm trying, I'm trying. Believe me I am trying!! Are there still seats along the Super Stretch? In the Lund Tower?"

"Sure are!"

"Well, if I convince someone to go I will be giving you a call!"

"Ok, good luck! And hope to see you at the races."
