Apr 28th - Saturday Night at the Races

I went over and watched the races tonight, Kathy stayed at the RV and watched the finish of the Nascar race.

They ran four different types of cars. First there were heat races, two for one of the classes, and then they ran "main events" for each class. The classes were Roadrunner, Real Stock, Thunder Roadsters & Sportsman.

There was one bad wreck in the entry level class, the Roadrunners. In that one they had to cut the car apart to get the driver out. He was initially unconscious. By the time they got the car cut apart, got him on a back board and into the ambulance he had regained consciousness and was talking to the EMT's.

The wreck occurred during the 25 lap feature for the Roadrunners. My old 510 Datsun would have fit right in with the cars that were being run. Just take out the glass and weld in a roll cage. The feature for this class was becoming a joke. The most laps they got in between wrecks was four. Usually they didn't even make two laps without a yellow. One reason was because there were 17 cars on the 3/8 mile track in the feature. They never did manage to get in 25 laps. They called the race after the bad accident.

Other than the one accident it was an enjoyable evening.

Good night and may God bless you and yours.
