Finally...they race...



After a huge rainstorm and the race being delayed last night till today, i got to see the darlington race. It was pretty good. As is the trend when I attend races, my guy never really factored and finished 18th. Ryles. I-Man and I did get to see a practice session and their first experience at a big track went about as I expected. They lasted aby 45 minutes before Ryles started complaining about being wet and I-Man kept wanting to go stand in the shade. Ryles sucked down 4 apple juices in the span of about 20 minutes. I-Man quickly pointed out his "green car" and yelled gleefully everytime it went by. He was even able to follow it around the track. All while Ryles was with seeming disdain sucking down the apple juice. I must admit that it was about 87 degrees at the time we were there, and the stands are hotter, so I was sweating myself. At least they didnt shreik and snivel under the seats when the cars powered up. The picture above to the left spreety much sums it up when we got ready to leave...Ryles complaining about being "wet" and I-Man wanting more cheezits and eying the shade.

#11) Something I want to do
