Ahhhhhhh!!!!!! That was so awesome. The lead pole was 203.774 mph run around the 1.3 mile track. Those things were fast!!! 22 cars started, and like 11 finished. One guy, I felt so bad for him, number 2, something with his engine messed up and he was slowing down and pulling into pit way too much and finally had to drop out. 2 cars hit the wall in the fourth turn, 2 or more in the second, and I don't know what else. Oh, one guy spun out with 4 or 5 laps to go. That sucked because there were only 3 laps with green to finish off the race.

Anyway, that was my first race ever and I had a blast. It was definately one of the coolest experiences I've had. Those cars are unbelievable. I also saw a F-1 car set up next to an Indy car. Real similar but I like the F-1 car better(it was also a Ferrari). 0-60 in like 2.6 seconds or something. That's sweet.

Brad Paisley(the country singer who's name I don't know how to spell) was there too. He had a small concert. "Better put a ring on the finger I'm wrapped around" and "Me neither" were two songs that he sang which I liked.

That's it! See ya later!
