Sat, Jul 12 2003 - Race City: Caltronics and Roadcourse (View Original Event Details)
|  |
In direct contrast with the Millarville Farmer's Market, this is by far the most testosteroney event that we do.
The first time that we went to Race City this year was the day that I decided I absolutely *had to* put my classic car back on the road. I have a 1976 Olds Omega that my Grandfather bought brand new in '76, and which I inherited in '85. I've had it on the road for almost a month, now, after being in storage for more than two years, and boy is it fun!
Graeme, Joel and I had a great time watching the races this eve with the "Legends" being a new fave. There was some good racing action, including one fabulous wipe-out in which one of the cars (I believe it was during the mini-stocks) hit the wall in front of the spectators. There was a ton of smoke, a bit of fire, and lots of gnashing sounds (pronounced "guh-nashing" by the commentator).
A very enjoyable evening, although I must admit that I'm never completely satisfied when they don't have either the Figure 8's or Demolition Derby. You have to cut me some slack, though... I AM originally from Red Deer.
