“ ON YOUR MARK, GET SET. GO!!!! ”

The cars blasted their engines forward.

Gray smoke flew through the air. 

Red, blue, green, yellow, purple, pink, 

and orange colored cars zoom past by. 

People cheer and scream.

“ Yellow is in the LEAD!!! ” 

Loud revving from cars made it hard to hear.

They spun in circles repeatedly that made

my head hurt.  

It was only my first ticket to watch a 

real race. 

Some people thought that 

the car crashes were the best part

 since they caused everyone to stay 

out of the league. 

But mostly I thought that it was 

mainly for betting.

I was wondering how the speed 

was controlled.

Was it technique? 

Whatever it was, it was fun to watch.

Until… 

“IT LOOKS LIKE GREEN IS LOSING CONTROL”

People saw it stroke left to right. 

They were getting closer and 

closer to the curve.

“WILL IT AVOID THE CURVE AND STAY IN SECOND?”

It didn’t look like he would be able 

to avoid so he took the risk.

It hit the curb making it flip high 

enough for it to make it over the

 6 foot fence.

The accident looked like a cow jumping

over the moon.

But a six foot fence.

“AND IT LOOKS LIKE GREEN IS IN LAST PLACE.”

Two men came running over to

 jump that fence.

The driver seemed fine but the 

car looked like it would flip 

over once more.

Paramedics came over right where people

gathered to see the commotion.

From a little peak from the accident

 it looked like a nightmare.

 But no one seemed to care, so I guess it 

was fine. 

As the cars drive by, the little designs

and sponsors caught my eye.

The designs, different car brands, and

colors were AMAZING.

I loved the different car brands such as

Lamborghini's, Fords, Porches, vintage cars,

exotic patterns, numbers.

All of a sudden the cars come to a stop 

while a bunch of people ran so fast

to change the tires.

The four people that changed the 

tires, wore the same color jumpsuits

as the car.

It was pretty funny at first, but it was 

Really nice they had their own 

designated color for their station.

I’ve somewhat noticed that 

there were very few of women

behind the wheel during the races.

Until I noticed that the guy that was flipped

over was eliminated. 

Tons and tons of people cheered and dressed

according to color. 

“WHO WILL WIN?” 

The cars kept going and going.

Loud and LOUD noises 

came and went. 

Heads followed the cars switch places. 

As the cars kept going and going, 

two people set up the 

long white rope for people who placed. 

They set up checkered flags

like a chess board. 

People cheered and roared. 

They threw their food in the 

air and motioned for the car to go faster.

The two rows of cars turned into one

long row of patterned cars. 

 “ONE MORE LAP.” 

They all soon went faster. 

Everyone stood silent until 

at least a car could pass the 

bright white line. 

Everything became slow motion. 

The announcer on the microphone

stared with blank eyes. 

A car soon finally passed.

The fan jumped up and down out 

of excitement. 

Loud screams and yells echoed

around the arena. 

The driver. The girl. 

Got out of the car with

confetti flying around her. 

A bouquet of flowers were

handed to her along with a golden

cup.
