Orlando Speedway

On Friday, we went to Orlando Speedway to watch a friend qualify for this Sunday's race in Pro-Street Racing. I had no idea that this is such a Big venue! There were so many people that had been at the Speedway since Thursday....they bring their RV's, bar-b-que, dogs, families, crew team and of course, their "garages" to work on their cars. Richard used to do this when he was younger...at first he told me that we could be looking at a very expensive hobby if he were to get back into it...but as the night went on...he decided that he doesn't want to get back in to it...as he said...you race for 7 seconds and then have to work on your car for 10 hours because they break so easy...but Andrew has been bitten by the racing bug.

We really enjoyed ourselves though...being a part of all that commotion....the above picture is of Hannah and Bailey. Bailey's dad is who races. She had been at the track with her dad since Thursday and was glad that Hannah came to rescue her. Bailey wears those ear phones because the noise is so loud...but her baby sister slept through it :-)

Brian, Bailey's dad, didn't race that night because of the rain. He was the next to go when they had to call it off because of the rain. When you average 183 mph...you can't race down a wet track. His wife called yesterday to say that he qualified and will be racing today (Sunday).
