Activities Warm Up - page 291

The activity I like the best is Nascar Racing. I grew up only 11/2 hours away from Indianapolis Motor Speedway. My father and both of my brothers are/were auto body men and auto mechanics. They all had cars that were antiques and were their side projects away from it all. When the season for racing opens it always seems to send a bite to all the people in my family. That includes myself and my sister. My mother is not really into auto racing. The thrill of having the fastest car, how fast the driver dares to go, and the excitement of winning are all so breathtaking, how can you not get caught up in all the excitement. Watching the cars go around and around sometimes can get boring, but even the drivers get tired too. Wrecks and crashes are sometimes exciting and frustrating because the driver you are rooting for can be taken out of the race because of someone elses error. All in all the excitement of it all is just that, EXCITING!
