Nate has two co-workers who are really into dirt track car racing and they invited us to a race in Gas City. It was a lot of fun and loud and dirty.
It was also very family friendly. We knew to bring ear protection, but we saw lots of parents who also brought eye protection for their kids. We were actually sitting next to the Speedway promotion girl (I don’t really know what to call her; she’s the one who sprayed the winner with champagne and she wore a sash) and she gave Evelyn and Jameson sunglasses.
It was hot at the start of the races but we were glad we made everyone where jeans. There’s a lot of dirt that flies around when the cars getting going fast. We watched the winged sprint cars and the midget sprint cars. The NOS car is Nate’s coworker’s favorite team but he didn’t do so hot last night. The winged cars create so much dirt and dust it’s hard to keep your eyes open to watch. The midget cars are much easier to watch but I didn’t get a picture of them.
All the dirt made it hard to time eating our snacks just right. It was late when we finally left to drive home. They both fell right asleep in the car. At home we just changed them into pjs and put them in bed, dirt and all.
