Off to the races!!!

On saturday the first of September Landon, his sister Lyndsay and I all went to the races in Salt Lake to Rocky Mountain Raceway. We had a lot of fun other than we were all dying in the heat when we first got there!! On the way up we stopped to eat at Ruby River Steakhouse and Lyndsay and I ordered a sirlon steak. Well when they brought out the steak the brought us a New York steak, which was fine with us because that steak was about $3.oo more than the one that we ordered and we ordered it medium. Well when they brought out Lyndsays it was really rare. So they cooked it again and our waitress came out and told her that the manager wanted to buy her lunch since they screwed up her ordered twice! So Lyndsay got about a $15.00 meal for free. It was pretty awesome. Then we headed up to the races. We got there in time to watch the Ford Focus Midigts and the Sprint cars qualify. Wouldn't you know it the first cars out around the second turn there was a wreck, but everybody was just fine. So we watched the focus midgits and the sprint cars run. Then they had figure 8 races where cars race in a figure eight. At some points it gets pretting scary and they look like the are going to wreck into each other all the time! Then the last race of the night was the trains. They have three cars hooked together and the first car does the steering and then no one is in the middle car and the back car has the brakes. That is my favorite part of the races. They are so much fun!
