Today we had a blast, my dad and brother raced their demolition derby cars. It was my brother Adam's first time and my dad promised if the car made it through this race I can try it next month. My dad has been racing for yeeeears and I've always been intrested and helped him with the cars. Next year we're going to try and get us each a car up and running. We'll see.
Anyway, they both did pretty decent. My dad was in first in his heat up until he lost a tire with only one lap to go. And Adam got third place in his heat. Then they both entered the "freebie" fun race for all of the non-winners along with 5 of their friends. It was the most intense race of them all and really fun to watch. My dad was in first for the majority of that one too, with Adam right behind, until my dad lost a tire and Adam got stuck in the mud.
I took waaay too many pictures but I just wanted to share of few of my favorites.

And they're off! Adam actually was in the lead for the first two laps (out of ten) but his car started overheating
