My second day at the track.

Today was a long freakin day. But we had fun. We went to watch the drag races. This is the last race day of the season. It was fun to watch all of those cars. There were a lot of Camero SS, a few Mustangs and, my favorite, the '66 VW Bug. Man, that thing could move! The fastest was 177mph, in a BUG! Then there was one car that went 210 mph. It was insane! There was a crash. The driver took a hard left, we dont know if he lost control or if there was a problem with his car, but him and his car hit the guardrail at 113 mph and crashed in the woods and burst into flames. The driver was fine and walked away from his car with some bruises. Amazing. Then there were the motorcyles. There was this modified nitro Harley. OMG, it flew like in the 170-180 range. The other moto9rcycles went around130-140 mph. I cant even imagine going that fast on a motorcyle. We decided that from now on we will only go to one race track in a weekend cuz two is way too hard on the bum. But it ws nice to be able to enjoy this weekend outside. We couldnt have had better weather. It was football weather. Big fluffy white clouds. Sunshine and just a little nip in the breeze to make a sweatshirt comfortable. It felt like I should be watchin black and gold instead of fast cars, but its a trade off. I imagine we will go more often next summer. But I am going to go eat now and prbably stand for the next 4 hours cuz my butt it soooo sick of sitting!
