Last Saturday, I went to a car race. It was like a miniature Nascar. We got there about 4:15. My dad parked at the bottom of a hill so we had to walk all the way up to get to the arena. stare Since my dad works for Dollar General we got to go in for free! blaugh At 4:30 they started preliminarily races for the positions of the different races. They had a lot of races. It's a good thing I brought my library book, or I would've died from the boredom.
They finally started the races at 6:30. The first races were for 8-9 and 10-11. In the first race the kid who won has won EVERY race he's been in! And he's only 8 or 9! O0O I think I said this before, but they has a LOT of races. We didn't get home till 11:45! O0O And all but 3 races were 10-20 laps. And these are on the little lap!
The first car race was about 40 laps on the big lap and they had a crash on almost every lap! rofl So that took a while to finish. Those cars are LOUD though!
I had gone to sit down away from my family, cause my parents were telling me take Hannah (my little sister) for a walk almost every 1/2 hour. I had worn my church shoes cause I could find my sandals and my shoes were black. And since I was going for a lot of walks I had gotten a blister on the arch of my right foot. I went off to go read my book in peace, but then the big races were starting, and I went somewhere I could see them. I ended up next to the person who was guarding the opening to the races, cause the private area was for the Dollar General people with yellow armbands on their wrists. I sat down next to her and we started talking, and I stayed with her for the rest of the races.
The trucks (that were after the car race)were the loudest of all! It hurt my ears. And there were people taking their little kids down right next to the TRACK! I was staring at them like they were the stupidest people in the world. The kids were covering their ears and complaining and everything! scream
After the trucks the last race started. It was the lane models. You know the advertisements along the lane? Those cars. The Dollar General car was right in front for 8 laps, and then he crashed. stare He had come by while the preliminary races were still going. He signed hats and took pictures with everybody there. After he crashed he was in 8th place again. He got up a place and then he crashed AGAIN! Then he was in 11th place for the rest of the race until the end. He finished DEAD LAST!! Nice advertisement, huh? ninja
