you've read all about the porcupine races and the logging olympics, and now you get to read all about my other adventures. alright, one other adventure. not too far from my house (as in i can hear it from my house) lives the meridian speedway. each year, they host the night of destruction. that's right, an entire night devoted to the destruction of stuff. big stuff. like cars. what's that you say? sounds pretty awesome? you're right it is.
one might even call it epic. don't believe me? you should know better, but i'll provide proof anyway.
to start off the festivities, they hoisted a car up a crane
and then they dropped it onto another car
totally worth it
then they used the flame from a jet car to light another car on fire
nice and toasty
look at that perfect smoke ring!
there was some other stuff too, but i was too distracted to get pictures. but don't worry, i (poorly) filmed the main event. speaking of the main event...BEHOLD, THE BOAT RACES. this is not the boat race you think it is. there are no jet boats involved. ever. drivers scrounge up a boat from who knows where and they attach it to their vehicle with a chain. then the track is watered down and the drivers drag their boats around whilst attempting to smash the heck out of everyone else's boats. last man standing wins. by last man standing i mean the last driver who has managed to keep any fragment of his/her boat attached to their vehicle. it looks a little like this:
i love my hometown!
