In case people like my Uncle Darren didn't think I was enough of a hillbilly already, it's about to get a whole lot worse right here, right now. I'm about to talk about my first experience with a NASCAR-related event.
The Charlotte Motor Speedway is a huge racetrack. There are people of all financial backgrounds who own tickets.... It's a big deal for all types. According to Nick's background research, there are several people who finance their seats and take out loans because, well, NASCAR is king.
To the speedway's credit, it was pretty cool. I was astounded by the number of children (and adults) who weren't wearing ears. I was even more astounded by the children to adult ratio. Apparently they start them really young here!
Anyway, we went for a really neat event there a few weeks ago while Emily and Z were still in town. The Bojangles Summer Shootout Series goes on all summer long and features a range of different showcases. The one we saw was especially cool as it featured these old, beaten up, school buses driven by local EMTs and Firefighters. You can see my videos from the night below!
I am wearing "ears" in this picture because unlike some of the children there, my Northern ears aren't used to loud motors.
Yours,
Becky
