Got dirty at a car race

Last night when I returned from my ride I heard the same noise we had all heard the Wednesday before. It was the blaring sound of either car or motorcycle engines somewhere close by. After listening to it all through dinner, we just couldn't take it anymore and set out to find the cars. It turns out that in the Kutztown fairgrounds, a 5 min drive away, there is a little, flat, dirt racetrack, and they host Wednesday night racing. We got there towards the end of the night, but stayed for the remainder of the races. It was actually quite a sight. These amateur drivers were driving what looked like really fast go-carts with cages and flimsy metal built around them. When they started each race, the track would explode in a giant dust cloud, and the wind would blow it directly onto the stands. Each time they tore around the corners at each end, they would go into a sideways skid and each time I was almost certain they weren't going to recover, but they usually did. Well, sort of.....there was a crash almost every other lap.
