Tonight we decide to take the kids out to Arena Racing at the Hampton Coliseum. Arena racing is an indoor race where the drivers are in go-carts dressed up to look like Winston Cup stock cars. They race on a small indoor track and reach speeds in excess of 50 MPH. It is a pretty good time. Sandy and I have been before but this was the first time we have taken the kids.

We all had a great time – and it was FREE! Yep, FREE! I had planned to buy tickets, they were not that expensive – $5 each for the kids and $15 each for me and Sandy. Anyway we are on our way up to the ticket booth at the Coliseum when a guy from Chick-Fil-A asked us if we had tickets yet. I told him we were on the way to get them and he handed us four tickets to the race. So …

Thank you Chick-Fil-A, we had a great time.

I don’t really know much about any of the drivers. A few of the names are familiar since most of them are local to the area, and I think I went to High School with some of them or probably some of their parents. Most of the time we just pick a number a cheer them on. Tonight we picked number 80, which was the car sponsored by the US Army. Car 80 finished first in the A race and second in the “Top Dog” race.

If you are looking for something kind of cool to do with the family, check out Arena Racing if it comes to your town.

Take Care – Ride FREE!
