Speed racin'

This past weekend my family got to go the San Jose Grand Prix. It was fun. Nothing like seeing cars race along a SJ downtown street at 178 MPH. Crazy. We got to sit in bleachers this year, a much better vantage point. I'm glad we were fortunate to get these tickets from someone. The race was interesting for more than just the race. There were some "extracurricular" activities that went on during the race... almost felt like I was at a hockey game. :)

Two guys got into it after one of them took out the other's car. Took a turn to get back in the race as the other guy was about to make that turn from the other direction and took the nose of his car off with the back tire. He got thrown out of the race. They have both been penalized. If you go to the link above, there is an article about them. These two have apparently been making contact on the track all season.

Today's lesson: If you're going to cut somebody off (especially taking the nose of the car with you), make sure you speed off out of reach heh.

Woo--entertaining!

Btw, in case I forgot to mention it earlier, I find your blog title highly cool, humorous, and entertaining.

My blogs are jealous.
