First of all, the pure enjoyment I receive at seeing the vast amounts of "team members" is almost enough for me (I consider getting season tickets). I apologize for not getting more pictures of "team members" but I was focusing on the racing (ok, really I wasn't quick enough with the camera!)
And I also met this nice man (below) who threw a fit that I was in his seat. And even after I offered to move, he still threw a fit and sat beside me rather than with his wife - exclaiming this is my seat, not that one. Eventually he caved and moved by his wife. Seriously, I offered to move you big fat baby!
Back to the racing... I especially enjoy figure 8 racing. Now let me explain the sheer excitement (I'm giddy just thinking about it).... So you have lots of cars driving really fast and doing figure 8's. And after a couple (ok, maybe 10) laps some of the cars lose there momentum and the first cars catch up. Now here's the fun - there's no lapping because it's a figure 8, there's just collisions. Ok, really there were very few collisions, but it was so close I was on my feet and screaming (which is a weird experience when you have ear plugs in).
AND the best part of the entire night was the train cars. Three cars chained together - the first only has steering, the middle just dead weight, and the last only has brakes. Oh yeah, and they do figure 8's as well. I would say there was probably 10-12 train cars doing figure 8's. They didn't even make it one lap before a train had spun around and twisted up to the point of needing to be hauled off the track by a tow-truck. It literally is complete chaos - and I love every minute of it.
