My sister, Laura, and her husband, Allan, both work in the corporate office of the company that is the master tenant of the Irwindale Speedway, which is very confusing. But it means they got the kids and I the VIP treatment with seats in the company suite for a race night. The kids loved everything from the cars, the ear protection “ear muffs,” the free soda, and the free glow sticks and flags. Their favorite was watching these silly cars that came out with skid plates instead of the back tires and they were crashing and skidding and sparking all over the track. Then a truck came out with a jet engine on the back and lit it into afterburner. They were all “meh, our Daddy does that all day long!” Just kidding, they loved it. I loved the baked potato booth. It was a 30-minute line but it was worth the wait for these giant baked potatoes, stuffed with all kinds of goodies and special sauce. I’m still having the carb shakes from eating two, yes two, giant stuffed potatoes. The kids wouldn’t eat theirs and someone had to. The night ended with fireworks and then two jet lagged car sleepers on the ride home. Thanks Aunt Laura and Uncle Allan for a fun night!
