Weekend Adventure: A Night at the Races

The highlight of this weekend, beyond more unpacking, organizing, and mowing of the yard, was a Saturday evening at the local race track. Something about a local race track brings primarily friendly folks who'll have a conversation for the entire evening even though it's the first time you've met.

Thunderhill Speedway is a 3/8 mile, high-banked, clay dirt track that features hobby stocks, modifieds, sportmods, and stock car races every Saturday evening. This weekend was also Ladies Night, which meant the entire family cost only $10 for admission. The boys, and the parents, enjoyed the evening of racing and a few bumps, spin outs, and crashes along the way. The night wasn't over until after 11pm, but the late bedtime was worth it for the boys. We will see, but I'm certain we will want to hit up the track for another visit before the summer is over.
