Weekend Journal 3

In the weekend I went to the speedway. we were watching this one race then a car called "Mad Pete" just started crashing into every one else.The mods went so fast that the front wheels were lifting off the ground and when they drifted around the corner they kicked up so much mud and stones you could barely see. after the races there was a running race until it was dark. once it was dark fire works went boom and bang, then the fire works stand blew up it was very fun I hope we go there again soon.
