Auto racing doesn't have to be nascar(tm)
Earlier this afternoon we went out to Kent (which is far, far away from lake union) to go see the car racing there at Pacific Raceways. Bruce's brother races (you can check out his car/team's web page. My pictures from the the races we saw (and a couple random shots) have been uploaded. This was road-style course where there were hair-pin turns and a nice straight stretch, not like "left-turn only" races. This you could actually watch and enjoy!
Clodagh half-threatened that I wasn't going to be allowed to drive back on the way home because she thought I'd start driving crazy - and after watching them drive for a bit it definitely makes you want to drive very fast and pass people. Fortunately I kept my sense as we saw a couple people pulled over while heading back up... I keep going back and forth on the logic of buying a nice fun to drive car. On the one hand it'd be really fun when you could drive fast - but on the other hand, it'd be incredibly frustrating when you're stuck in traffic and there's always the threat of the tickets and insurance hikes...
