Indy Cars and The Temple of Doom

I never post anything that's current so here's an attempt.

For those of you who are wondering how the shows are going. Great. I would write a show by show description but that's boring. I will say that last night at the Houston Improv was fun and we're there all weekend with Pablo Francisco. We had several people ask if they can have their picture taken with us and that's just unheard of for us. So, we felt very nice post show. We even had a group of gogo dancers give us their number. Unbelievable.

Today, David and I attended the qualifying round of the Houston Grand Prix. We finished second quickest. (Supply your own rimshot.) It was the first time either of us had been to a car race and surprisingly I don't think it'll be our last. It was really cool and LOUD. While we were there we happened to witness a crash.

Here's a picture of the aftermath.
The good news is that the guy was alright. The bad news is that this was a qualifying round and he completely wrecked his car. So he had to finish the round on foot. He still tallied a good time though.

Actually, they said that his crew will have to spend all night in the garage and he'll get another chance in tomorrow's qualifying round. Now that's fast. They should have fixit races...

Not only are the cars very loud (we wore earplugs) but their speed is amazing. One of the best parts about going to the race was walking over the covered bridges that cross the track. You could feel the energy of the cars as the whiz right underneath you. You could never see them coming but you could feel them all over. It was impressive.

Tonite we race for slips,
-Chris
