hello mylot! it's been such a busy day.
today we woke up early to drive up to Orlando for Formula Drift. it's a driving and drifting competition. it was amazing to see all the cars drifting together, it takes a lot of skill to drift like that. we were so close that the rubber from the tires actually sprays on you! which is why I smell like burnt rubber
I'm not a big car person but we went with a group of people and had a great time. it's always nice to spend time with friends, no matter what you're doing.
so how was your day, mylot? have you ever been to any racing event like this? did you do anything interesting this weekend?
I tried adding a picture, hopefully it turns up
EDIT nevermind, pictures never work for me

I had seats in the first row at the start/finish line of the Daytona 500 one year, and at the end of the race my face and clothes were as black as could be from all the soot and tire debris from the race cars. Every time the cars passed by my seats on their lap around, I could feel my face getting pelted by rubber, not to mention that blast of heat from their engines/exhaust! And I was wearing sunglasses during the entire race, so when I took them off I looked like a raccoon because that was the only part of my face that wasn't black!

that's basically what this felt like I found tire rubber in my shoes later that night! but I had a great time so it was all worth it

@isweartokira Yes, when you're having so much fun, you don't pay attention to, or mind, the incidentals. So what if we came home dirty! We had a great time, right?

I have never been to a car racing event. I did see a few bicycle races.
