Boys and their toys-Thompson Speedway

"Eve of Destruction" at the Thompson Speedway tonight with BIL Pete (Clark 'Sparky' Griswald' to some of you). The adults on the minibikes were hilarious to watch and it kept getting more and more funny as the night wore on. 4 cylinders, then full size cars, then school bus and finally trailer demolitions. I'd really really like to get an infield pass-it was great fun at the top of the bleachers (no fun walking up and down, tho) and can imagine the exictement on the ground. If ya can't be in Indy on race day Thompson comes in a close second.

It was good to take a few hours off tonight, and I've promised myself a full day off tomorrow after my morning meeting. It will be good to relax.

Looks like a fun day. To watch and participate in. Great framing job on this action shot. Guess the guy in the bulldozer is waiting to clear the wreckage. :)
