Our first race!

Postby Wing Nut » Sun Oct 22, 2006 9:29 am

Took Alexander to his first race last night!  He was slightly impressed.  ;D  I thought when the stunt show happened, he was going to wet his pants from excitment.  We saw the FASCAR (Florida Association of Stock Car Racing) Pro Truck 50 and the Southern Sportsmen 35 before he finally gave out and we had to leave.

I got to tell you, I thought racing was cool on TV, but this was AWESOME!  If you watch baseball on TV, it's pretty much the same as when you go see it in person. The same thing goes for Football and most other sports.  NOT with this!  We were on the edge of our seats the whole time!  It was incredibly intense, even though it was a minor competition on a short track.  It totally rocked!

Wait until you go to a NASCAR race, the speed and the noise is amazing.  The best bart is the great fly-overs. ;)

I'm glad you guys had fun.  Are you planning on going to any more soon?

Oh man, you guys get to race a long time down there in Florida, our last race around here was in September.  Oh well, there's always the Speed Channel.  Glad to hear there's more in the future. :)

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
