The Race That Left Me Rolling :: Racing Sports Essays

The Race That Left Me RollingIt was a Saturday morning, and exclusively I could venture ab surface was the days race at Placerville speedway. I woke up early to eat a good breakfast, and to allow enough time to get my racecar ready. It wasnt until about 230 p.m. that I finally loaded my midget light into the trailer. Then I drove dead on target to the racetrack where I stood in line until 400 p.m. It looked like it was going to be a great night for racing. At about 500 pm, I rolled onto the track to lead up mudpack (this is where you pack down the excessive mud from the racing surface). I finally felt as though the night had begun. After mudpack was completeed, I moved straight into the hot laps (four to five laps of practice). My car was running good in hot laps, which satisfied me. Next were the heat races the heat races are a very burning(prenominal) part of the night, they decide weather I transfer to the main event. The 12-car field lined up to take the green give, and I knew that I needed to finish at least fourth in order to transfer to the main. I knew finishing fourth would be know problem, because I was starting on the out side of the siemens row (that puts me in 4th position). When I got the one to go sing, telling me it was one lap until the race started, my heart began pounding. When the green flag waved, I darted to the top of the racetrack passing into third position in the first corner. I stayed high out of turn two and got right beside second place. My car was going as fast as it could entering turn three allowing me to blow by the second place car beneath me. at once that I was in second position, all I needed to do was drive smoothly to transfer. On the last lap, one of the faster guys from, that started in the bear of the field, caught up to me and slide his car under me to put me and into second. Even though I finished in third place, I still transferred to the main event. With all the excitement of the heat race, it was no doubt that I was anxious to start the main event.It was finally time to start readying myself for the main.
