A couple of cars getting ready to start.
Friday afternoon after babysitting our nieces, we took off to the Houston Raceway in Baytown which is like an hour away from us. We got there a little early so we went to have dinner at McDonald's and filled our bellies with some food. The kids LOVE to eat out so that is always a good thing :)
On Fridays they have these races where you can go and take your cool car 0r motorcycle and go race, it is really fun and they have lots of people come and see. The entrance is only $10.00 per adult and kids are free (which is another good thing since regular price for a real race is about $30.00 or more). We spent 3 hours watching all the cars and motorcycles race, we even had our favorites. All in all it was really fun except the part when Victor made Aaron fall down on the bleachers and he ended up bruising his gums around his front teeth and bleeding a little bit. The boys were all excited and even Abuelita was cheering for some cars. We want to go back again and stay longer if possible. Here are some pictures and a video of one of our favorite cars of the night.
Here is Tristan explaining to me how a car just won.Those cars can go really fast. The fastest motorcycle reached a speed of 181 and the fastest car got to 169. It was loud and some times scary when the front of the cars lifted all the way up and then came back down and even sparks came out of the bottom of it, there were no accidents which made Victor very disappointed and he was the only one who wasn't very happy most of the time.
My cute kids smiling for the camera.

Let us know next time you are planning on going and maybe we can go together... it looked like a really fun family outing!
I'm glad you guys went. That's one of the places I've been thinking about looking into for a while now, but haven't gotten around to. That and the monster truck show, but I think that's already over.
