I never realized until we moved here that Charlotte is the mecca for racing cars. For those of you who are into Nascar, please forgive me, but I am just not into car races or really any sports for that matter. I suppose I am going to have to become interested very quickly with two boys. So, this past weekend, we took a drive about 2 hours north of Charlotte to watch someone from Lyndon's office compete in dirt-track racing. I am sure I am not going to use all of the proper terminology, so I will let the pictures do most of the talking. Minus the dirt that flew up everywhere, it was fun to watch and see the different cars. I was amazed at the work these people put into their cars knowing that it is very possible the cars won't survive the race. But, they all seemed to have a blast, and the boys (well two of them anyway) loved it!
I can see this in my future.
The black and green car (14) is our guy!
It was extremely loud, and they suggested that we bring ear plugs for everyone.
So, it amazes me that Bubba slept through almost all of it! I will say that he had a dose of Benedryl. He has had a little cold.
After he woke up, Logan tried to explain some stuff to him. He lasted about 2 seconds before he realized he could run around and climb the steps. Even after a two hour nap, he still was not into it. I thought that was weird considering he loves Hot Wheels and the movie Cars.
Lyndon grew up in Indianapolis and around the 500, so he at least could fill me in on some of the rules and info about the cars and such!
We actually had to leave before we watched our friend race, but we did get the chance to see him qualify. He did a lap in 19 seconds...very impressive!
