Okay, okay, so I haven't updated in forever. But oh well.
Yesterday my dad took, Matt, Steve, Justin, and me to Milan Dragway for the Battle of the Jets. We got there at like 1ish and there wasn't really too many people there. So we got our seats and watched some of the races. After awhile Matt and Justin decided they were hungry, because they saw Steve's cheese fries, so they walked over to the pit area to find some lunch. Steve, my dad, and I followed them and they all ended up getting these huge messy bean burritos from this little Mexican place and I got a Screwball from Granny's Ice Cream and Candy.
After we ate, we walked around and looked at the cars. We saw all the jet cars and the Star Raider, which is a jet car with two jet engines instead of one. We were pretty excited to see that thing run...too bad it never worked. rofl.
When we were done walking around we went back to our seats and just hung back and watched the races. Steve, Matt, and Justin made up this game where they'd spit off the back of the bleachers and whoever's spit hit the ground first won. Then they decided to throw every empty bottle or can they had at this garbage can. Eventually one person had to go down there and throw the can or bottle back up so whoever threw it could try again...because they always missed. rofl.
The jet cars made three appearances. One of them broke a record with like 301 mph, but whatever, top fuel goes faster. =) The Star Raider never worked. It leaked mass quantities of fuel each time it tried to run. Just because it shoots fire out the back of it, I don't see the problem. rofl. Speaking of fire, one car pretty much exploded when it tried to race. Right after the burnout there was this huge pop! and the hood flew off and it caught on fire. The fire trucks and ambulances were only a few minutes too late. lol.
Anyway, when they were pressing the track at night I accidentally dropped Matt's sunglasses and they broke. So of course we decided to break them more. There were rules, though. No stepping and no bending. At first we just threw them at walls and on cement, but they wouldn't even scratch. So we dropped this nicely sized cement block on them a few times and still nothing happend. So we put the glasses between two cement blocks and crushed them multiple times, but only the frames bent. lame.
Then we all slept on the way home at like midnight. =)
Yep, MSJ Squared is amazing.
