No Race, Race

A couple of weekends ago my friend Kim and her husband Scott invited us to go to Gaffney to the dirt track races so we loaded up and went. Now on our way it did sprinkle on us but we kept on going. We left early enough to start and eat and choose Sagebrush in Gaffney and all I can say is "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry" cause that is what our poor little waitress told us constantly. We were in that restaurant for almost 2 hours people had came in and sat in other waitress sections and left before we could get our food, our ticket, our change but we had a good laugh about it... Anyway while we were there it POUR DOWN rain but then the sun came out so when we were finally ready to leave we headed on to the dirt track. Going in to get our tickets I ask the very personally lady if they were going to race and she said "yeah" so we got our ticket and for the next 2 to 3 hours we watch the water truck, 4 wheelers, 4wheel jeep, trucks and a few race cars that wanted to race take to the mud to pack it down and dry it up..Might not have been a race but it was fun to watch and boy I was wishing we had our 4 wheeler so we could go and help. Then they finally had a drivers meeting and decided not to race but hey all your great fans can come back next Saturday with your ticket and see it all again.. .

The next Saturday we load up again and head back to Gaffney but this time we stop at Bojangles since the men were wanting it the week before and we actually got to the race before it started. With dark clouds over us we got a little worried that we might have a repeat of the week before. But it only sprinkle for a minute and they race..Now, I have to say I know that I am good ole country redneck down deep inside of me cause I wanted to so bad go and get in one of those cars and drive or ride they looked like they were having a ball coming around those turns... They were going so fast that going down the stretch they would be going sideways. We saw alot of 1 car wrecks, one real good 2 car where one car went on top of another but everyone was ok just somebody that had came out of the fence area and was walking down behind a wall (where they were not suppose to be durning a race) got hit in the head with a rock or something and they had to stop the race and get the almbuance out there to tend to them. Why, would they had walk through there I don't know but during that time the dad's took the kids down to the fence to see the cars and the drivers since they were stop in front of us... The best race was one that 2 girls were racing and let me tell ya the girl that won she drove hard and hung on she started like 5th and passed all those guys and the last couple of laps her and the other girl were battling it out and Brandi I think won by a nose hair. It was awesome to watch... The announcer was the first to wish us Happy Mother Day since we were still there at 12am... Fun race but loooooooooong... Maybe next time we will hit Greenville/Pickens or go watch a friend of Eric's in NC.. .
