So we decided to embrace our "townie" status in Antigonish (living in town instead of on campus, and staying all year round instead of just for the school year) and join in some of the local events. Yesterday was the grand opener for the Riverside International Speedway (visible right off the highway at exit 30 ) and we were there! We bought advanced tickets a week ago, and have been getting pumped ever since. Neither of us had ever been to a race, or knew anything about them. Thankfully they hand out info books ALL about everything you could want to know about flags and racers. We showed up around 4 and got to watch the time trials and the inspections which was really cool. We did look slightly out of place, as we didn't have racing tshirts or hats, and didnt' think to bring a cooler of cold drinks or a blanket to sit on. (We will know for next time) Oh yes, and of course I was snapping photos left and right, which seemed to be a dead give away that we were first time race spectators.
Here are some of my prized photos :)
Now a little wiser to the racing world, we'll be more ready for the next one! We left a little early because we were frozen. All in all a great experience!
Ooh and of course some pictures of the bebes! And since they have been here One week + change now, we took some pics of them cuddling on the couch :).
