Well, I went to the UAW-GM Quality 500 NASCAR Winston Cup Race in charlotte yesterday, and I'm going to give you a bit of a review.
To begin, I want to tell you some things that I don't like. I don't like old drunk people. Now there are some exceptions, but for the most part, I don't like old drunk rednecks. Now, to move on.
I got there at 5 to see 3 doors down (the race started later on, it was a night race) and I was pretty bored until 3DD came on. They played well--they were better than I expected! That was cool, until they stopped playing. After that, there was a period of sheer boredom and annoyance until the race started. I went to my seat, with a few of my friends, which was a good ways away from the concert stage. I have NEVER in my life seen so many dirty looks and messed up teeth in my life.
We finally make it to our seats, and sit down. We sat there for like an hour before the national anthem started. This next part was the highlight of the night for me. About half way through the national anthem, which was sung by Monica, 4 F-16 jet fighters did a fly by really low over the stadium. Now I don't know if you know, but I absolutely love fighter jets.. the site of them is so amazing, and these things were CLOSE. As soon as they got over the stadium, they hit their afterburners so the flames from their engine were like 6 feet long.. deep blue flames.. it was almost an orgasmic experience. I felt so deeply amazed when they flew over. They flew over once more before the race started, so it was cool.
After this, the race began and let me tell you something--on TV, nascars seem like :oops: sport.. those cars go a hell of alot faster than it looks! We were standing next to the track, and when like 4 of them went by, the wind from the track could literally blow you over.. it rocked =)
