I swear to Jebus it felt like I was 36yo FOREVER. I even did the math at one point a few months ago to make sure I wasn't adding it up wrong. But it had to end sometime, and that sometime was Saturday. I celebrated by getting a haircut, having a late lunch at Houston's on the Plaza. Houston's makes the world's BEST veggie burger in house, and they also serve a crazy good roasted artichoke. I LOVE their artichoke. There's not a lot of "meat" on the leaves, so it winds up being all about the taste.
What better way to spend a summer evening than at a dirt track. We drove out to Grain Valley, MO, which is just a few miles outside of Kansas City. Valley Speedway has a 3/8 mile dirt oval. They had Modifieds and Street Stock racing last night. The heat races were a little bit better than the actual races. As you would expect, the more cars, the more cautions. I uploaded and embedded some video below. I use to go down south to Adrian, MO. There was an awesome little dirt track down there that was only 1/3 mile. Seeing modifieds race around that tiny track was quite the spectacle.
Before too much time goes by....Happy Birthday, sounds like you had a good one. +1 on the dirt track racing. My X father in law, Bill, worked his way up as owner and builder of a Sprint car. Was a blast hanging with the boys at the shop and at the track. Bill's son was rookie of the year at the Devil's Bowl, Dallas, TX at age 15. The son went on and got a sweet ride sponsored by CompUSA sometime ago. I really enjoyed watching the races.
