This last weekend Jennifer and I attended a Indy Car Race. I got some free tickets and we decided it would be an experience. One of my good friends sister in-law got a couple free also.
TJ, Michelle, Jennifer and I piled into the car and headed to Pikes Peak International Raceway (PPIR) which is located between Colorado Springs and Pueblo. We arrived at 1:15 pm and found our way to the correct tent where we would receive our tickets. We were shocked at how good the seats were, 6th row from the track. We made our way to the grand stand and were sitting just in time for the beginning of the race. Jennifer nor I have ever been to a car race of any type before, this would be our first. As the pace car dived off the track the cars screamed to 200 mph and it gives you goose bumps.
About half way through their was a wreck which happend right in front of us, other than that it was a pretty normal race and exciting to watch.
225 laps and 2 hours later, the race was over and the four of us were on our way back to Denver.
