NASCAR

Now that we are Delaware residents we attended the Annual NASCAR race in Dover which is also the capital, and were I drive to if I need to shop at a mall. So Saturday we headed up north to stay with some friends for the pre-race party. Which lasted until 2:00am. Then at 6:00am it was time to get up and head to the race track. The weather was cloudy at best. But we got there, paid our 30 dollars to park in someone's yard and unloaded our grills, chairs, food, and beer. So at 7:30 am we were cooking eggs and drinking beer. Things were going pretty good until about 11:00am when mother nature decided to rain on our parade. Although we did take rain gear just in case, our gear was no match for the heavy rain that started. So heavy that the race was postponed until Monday. No one in our group could make the race on Monday so we got 3 more tickets and decided to take the boys out of school to attend. I was not originally going into watch the race, I was just going for the party. So today we made the 30 minute trip to Dover for the race. Things were going well until we got into Dover when the traffic came to a dead stop. So we missed the beginning of the race, although we did have the radio on to here"Gentlemen start your engines". So parking was free today, but we parked a million miles away, and everything was muddy from the rain. But we finally got in, sat down and watch the race. Now when you enter the bleachers you can not talk anymore because all you can hear is the very loud roar of the cars. Also by the end of the race you are covered with little pieces of black rubber from the tires. It burns off and flies up and attaches to your body. Also your ears will be ringing for hours. NASCAR fans are a different breed of people. First, all the men wear tank tops with their hairy armpits showing and their favorite driver on the front. All the women wear shorts that are threes times too small for them also with a shirt of their favorite driver. Sneakers with white socks are the prefered footwear. A cooler packed with Budwieser is attached to each one of them. And if you are a true fan you are wearing headphones attached to your mate with a reciever that is linked to the tracks announcer. PLUS some of them have mics so you can talk to your parnter. I guess that is nice for when you say "pass me a beer bitch" The kids really enjoyed the day. I also enjoyed taking in all the sites. So I guess we will have to make this an annual event.
