Remember a while back when I said I needed more Needmore? Well, guess what I got more of, besides bills and shoes? Yep, I got some Needmore in my life. I went to the practice on Saturday last week and was suprised to see so many cars show up when other tracks were running. Everyone seemed to be in good spirits and since it was just a practice most drivers were pretty laid back with an exception of some who are just extremely serious no matter what they're doing but it's what makes them good drivers. Fans showed up for support and brought out kids, wives, and some brought their favorite beverages.
Late models, limiteds, hobby class, superstreet, Enduro, and mini stock came out for the first time on dirt since the closing last year. I thought it was a good crowd for a practice but when the following Saturday came I was not suprised but suprised. Understand that? Me either. It was like the racing flood gates had opened and we were about to be drowned. It was lovely. Haulers, trucks, trailers, beverages, all showed up to support the race track. They came from everywhere and kept showing up all the way until time for hot laps. I know these people. We get along well since I'm late for everything too. So many cars, so many people, so many smiles. I got to see just about everything that night.
The families, drivers, and pit crews were so friendly. The racing was what I was there for and I was more than happy to let the mud and dirt sling which was a good thing since, when I left I looked like a dirt monster. Never seen one? Find me after a race. I was shaking my head at one point in the night when a car caught on fire and the driver kept right on driving like it was nothing. I loved it! A big pile up in the hobby division had most of the drivers just put the car back on the track and race like nothing had happened. I was so excited by the time the racing was over I was ready for another race but when I realized the races were over I was sadly disappointed also when I realized there wasn't a Waffle House anywhere near there. Every track should have a Waffle House next to it. It should be a law. On my next bid for president of the United States I'll use that as my platform.
Until then,
