@flowerbaby and I really enjoy our time together watching the races at our local dirt oval ring. The weather was even better this time, although our first time a few weeks back was nice too. Well, the weather sort of was better. Let me explain.
One Friday night we decided to try a new track that was twice as far as the only other one we had been to before. We drove to the Ohio Valley Speedway and ran into terrible storm clouds once we were about halfway there. If it rains, these dirt tracks become mud and are unsafe to race on, then the event gets canceled and you lost your entry free. We thought for sure that rain would start coming down, but decided to keep driving to the speedway anyways. I mainly wanted to see what the place looked like and to know if it would be worth coming back to another time. Plus the road to the track was beautiful, desolate, and so fun to drive on. Once we arrived we were surprised to find out that the place was jam-packed with fans. There were so many people there that it looked like it would be elbow to elbow, plus the clouds still said rain. Instead of paying $40 to get in, we turned around and drove an hour back home. We still had a fun time on the road together, so it wasn't a total waste. There was a downpour for about 5 minutes while we were driving home, but that somehow managed to not affect the track, and then ended up racing all night long.
We vowed to go to I77 Speedway the next night since it only rained in various spots and the track was still in good condition. We got lucky that it didn't get canceled and it turned out to be a perfect night. We packed our cooler full of food and drinks, brought some chairs & blankets, and had a great spot to relax. The only thing that we didn't think to bring was some sort of glasses or goggles to keep the dirt from flying into our eyes. It wasn't a major pain, but slightly annoying (especially with @flowerbaby's contact lenses).
I never thought that we both would enjoy these races so much, but we really do. It was an awesome Saturday night and I can't wait to go again soon.

You two make such a cute couple! Keep up the fun and you're golden. I enjoy seeing these posts as they have such a good vibe to them 😀
I appreciate that a lot, I think we match up pretty well too and do indeed have a lot of fun together always. Many more posts like this to come. I am about to start sharing a ton of stuff about our recent vacation which will be very exciting to see I think, especially if you enjoyed this one.
That's awesome..looking forward to seeing them! Am getting on in years here so I really enjoy seeing what the younger crowd is up to. Makes me remember my wild, younger days LOL
Man, I miss going to the dirt racing tracks. When I lived in Texas, we had one near our home that would have races every weekend. The kids loved it there.
I can't believe that we just started going to these things this year. It really is so much fun. The one we go to is pretty awesome too because it has so much space and we always get so cozy together.
Hi @daltono, nice to meet you.
You really worked hard to get the chance to be there. The result is as you share it. It's great when we succeed in getting what we really strive for.
Salute to both of you.
Thank you! We are both glad that we get to go see these exciting races from time to time.
Congratulation !
:) cool! look like a good time.
