We got a pair of tickets to the Houston raceway from some friends. Think wannabe NASCAR, rednecks, and good times.

Doesn’t look comfortable

Dwarf cars

Qualifying rounds for the ‘dwarf’ cars (Diane’s favorite)

Medium-weight cars

I should have brought my old clunker to race these guys

Super 8s

These guys were fast, but they kept running into each other

Accident

Eventually, only 3 cars were left (started with 6)

Drifting turn 4

Wish I could have been in the car drifting the turns

Diane enjoying herself

Watching the races turned out to be quite fun

In the end, we stayed through all of the qualifying rounds, but left at intermission. We didn’t have it in us to stick around for ~5 hours. Thanks again to Lane and Jalei for the tickets!
