So, tonight, and old but good friend of mine called me and invited me out to Beach Bend Speedway for the oval races. I have lived in this town for about 10 years total, and I have never been out there. But, because its Friday, and I wanted something to do, I went with him.
OMG, that was so much fun. I never thought I would like to watch cars race in a circle, but there were about 12-15 races, and many of them were really close finishes. Toboot, the final two races were figure 8 races... Man, there are some guys out there that have much bigger balls than I do racing that crap.
Anyhow, one of the things that were raced were baby grands and minicup (see http://www.mmraracing.com/). They look almost like go carts, but go fairly fast for their size (80-120 mph or so). I think I have found something else to get addicted to, and possibly even try to race myself someday.... All I have to say is this: If you have never been, and think its silly, please, go once and prove me wrong... its a lot of fun, redneck and all!

And crawling on the planet's face
Some insects called the human race
Lost in time
And lost in space...and meaning
