When I was younger, my father would go out to sprint car racing and I was never really interested or even want to go to the races. Now that I am older I have decided that I actually like racing and I really do have fun watching the races. I never really cared about sprint cars, or cars in general for that matter. All I cared about was getting my own car and being able to do the things that I wanted to do. Just recently we, Jason and I, went to Milan Dragway and watched the NMCA Nationals. I had a blast!!! Watching the cars go down the quarter mile track, smelling the sweet smell of racing fuel and the strong smell of burning rubber. Hearing the roar of the motors as they wait for the green light, watching their quick reaction times, and the one crash, had my blood pumping. Something about watching made me want to be behind the drivers seat and go that fast. Then came out the jet car and that was the loudest and coolest thing ever. Watching her go 300 mph down the quarter mile and hearing the car rumble and feeling it in the ground was awesome. If you blinked the car was already done and there was no more show.
Needless to say, I found out that I really enjoy drag racing and Jason and I already planned on going again, only to 131 Dragway and watching the Nitro Funny Cars. Ahh, the smell of racing fuel and burning rubber has my blood pumping through my vains again.
