“Ka-Chow!”

The catch phrase made popular by the one and only, Lightning McQueen! And if you don’t know who he is, then you clearly need more Disney in your life. 😍

“Ka-Chow!” A term of excitement and happiness and exactly how I felt last Sunday when I saw him in the corner of my eye. But let’s start from the beginning…

I’m lucky to work in a job where I have the opportunity to experience diverse events. One being race car driving! Sunday, I gathered my bro-in-law and nephew and took them with me to the City of Angels to experience The Clash. The Clash is a NASCAR exhibition race before NASCAR kicks off in Daytona mid-Feb; this weekend!

The Clash moved to LA in 2022 and returned for another year in 2023. The LA Coliseum is the venue and it’s fascinating that they transform the USC football field to a racing platform with asphalt in a mere month. They do 150 laps which doesn’t last too long except when there are constant crashes and resetting. Crashes are cool to watch as long as no one gets hurt! 🙏

Before we headed to our seats, I had to stop by at the Fan Fest where you can have interactive experiences with vendors one being the AAA display. Of course I visited! 😁 My nephew spun the wheel to win a prize. Race-goers could also talk to an agent about AAA’s products & services. Oh and take a selfie with a race car replica! 🏎️

But my excitement came from stopping at “Radiator Springs” and grabbing a picture with Lightning McQueen!! “Ka-Chow!”
