NASCAR

So this was the weekend that Dario and the guy's went to Arizona for the race. If you are wondering if they had any fun let me put it to you this way, they already have there trip planned for next spring! So with that being said, us girls feel that before they go off again, we need a weekend away with just the girls! I think that Disneyland would be a great place to escape to... So anyways, back to the race. They drove down through the night on Friday arriving in Phoenix at the crack of dawn. They got a couple hours of sleep, had some pancakes (thanks to Doug and Alyssa, my aunt and uncle). Then they were off to the races! The actual race didn't start until 5:00 but the gates opened at 12:00, so they figured they would show up at 12 and walk around and check out all the exhibits and excitement. They collected as much free stuff as they could, then went and watched the race. Dario called me while the race was going so that I could hear how loud it was, and let me tell you it was LOUD! Luckily they all had some ear plugs, otherwise I'm not sure they would still be hearing...







In this video the pace car had just left the track, so you can see the cars all speed up, and boy do they speed up fast! Don't blink, you might miss it!

What a cute picture of you guys. And I didn't know Dario was into Nascar. Or perhaps this is new. How the heck can you tell if your car is in the lead? They are going too fast to even see.
