Filthy Dirty Racing

Sunday night we went to a local 1/4 mile dirt race track. You know us and racing! We went to Vermilion County Speedway. They raced 5 classes - Late Models, Modifieds, Street Stock, Peer Street Stocks, and Hornets. We were there watching racing for over 4 hours, left at 11:15 pm, and they were still racing. These folks are serious about their dirt racing!!! There was well over 100 cars there. We saw them crash, throw dirt, break down, throw dirt, close door-to-door racing, throw dirt, a fireworks show, throw dirt, throw more dirt - you get the idea.

When we returned to the hotel we were filthy and needed showers. But it sure was a good show. After yesterday's derby and tonight's racing, tomorrow we don't want to sit in any grand stands!!! We did find out during this weekends trip, there will be no shortage of racing for us to watch, once we move here.
