Enjoy the races! I used to go to the races here (mostly Drag racing cars, and DH dragged me along (very willingly) to NASCAR races- as well as Indy.
Earplugs at races are your friend!

I haven't been to an Indy race or NASCAR race, and hadn't been to a drag car race until a couple weeks ago. but it's such a great experience if you are into it. It's gone a little overboard...into maybe infatuation area...but people like what they like ya know? I'm a weee bit tipsy but I love it....it's just so over the top on something you like anyway (musclecars). And I know that it's going to be ridiculous around the house for the next few days because of all the "BRRRBRRRBRRR" noises while heating stuff up in the microwave, but it's ok. mmm...NITRO  ! Are you going to try to get a wee bit of nitromethane? I hear it makes a really good cologne. Makes you smell like the dangerously explosive type. You'll have car girls falling at your feet. |

NASCAR? Yeah they go fast, granted but they turn left only! It goes something like : "and the race started! And the first left turn...and the second left turn...to infinity left turn! Watching NASCAR while "intoxicated" must be realy bad! Might make you puke. Id rather go to County Fair and watch those kids/adults wood choping with a broad blade. Or even mowers races! Thats fun! Anyways, Happy Male Pride Day! And if I have to I'll even sport a kilt. |

Aww....so sorry the little one was scared. I hope she isn't too upset. Hope you aren't either! You are right. There will come another day.

I feel for her, Rachets. There are a couple things I'm afraid of and there's nothing I or anyone else can do to convince me they aren't scary. I don't like loud noises...period. I would have been with your daughter out in the parking lot!

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

Poor kid! At least, now she knows things like that aren't for her. Glad you got her out of there. Like GEL, I'm not fond of loud noises either, but they don't panic me and I used to like the races. Sounds like the younger one will be a fan.  |

Oh! The younger one enjoyed it though lol. She was grinning from ear to ear each time we heard them take off. I'm not sure which one to worry about more :-P. The younger one. She's gonna wanna be the next Ashley Force Hood. |

No, we don't walk away. But when we're holding on to something precious, we run.

Well, now you know that Older DD gets a playdate or a Mommydate when you and the littler one go to the races. Just remember to check with Older DD every so often if she wants to try again. My little guy has been freaking out about water slides and flying rides since he was 2 or so. At our last water park, I talked him into trying one of the water slides with me and he LOVED it - he's 5.5 now. It just took him longer than it did his sister to decide he liked them and they weren't scary. But I'm still not taking him on Tower of Terror or the Haunted Mansion at WDW but we'll give the other rides a shot (he's got issues with the dark too) |

I totally understand the visceral reaction to the loud rumbling. It doesn't matter what movie I am at, when the surround sound is loud and you can physically feel the rumbling it makes me cry. I'm not normally a crier. It is just a physical reaction to the sound.
Once I was at an art gallery looking at a group of paintings that were like sort of post-apocalyptic type paintings I guess you could say. That day the local symphony was practicing in the gallery which would normally be great. Except I think they were practicing Berlioz's Symphony and the bass sounds combined with the paintings totally sent me into a panic.
Maybe I'm just a weird.

bummer! - Okay, your bum will do! Ii'm bringing booty baaaaack! Well, Meghan Trainer probably has something to do with it too :-P. LOL Love it! Sorry you couldn't stay and enjoy the races. They really are so LOUD! I haven't been to any races for years, but still remember how your whole body vibrates/bounces from the sound. I think it was awesome that you took your kids, so they could feel included and would know for themselves, if was something they enjoy. Next year, my dear Ratchets. Next year. |

Need some loving? How long had it been so you resorting for male pride day to get laid? That's gotta be a trick question :-P ! ' That's gotta be a trick question :-P !' is not the answer to the question... |
