Moto GP

A few weekends ago, Drew and I went to the MotoGP race in Indianapolis. A friend of ours who works for American Honda (the motorcycle division of Honda) was able to get us free tickets. The big race was on Sunday, but we left on Saturday afternoon so we could catch the Saturday evening stunt riding show.

Here we are Saturday evening...

This is our friend Jerrod that got us the tickets.


And here's a video of some of the tricks and stunts they did...



Then Sunday afternoon we headed over to the track for the big race. It's the same track as the Indy 500. We really couldn't have asked for better weather. The only problem was how LOUD it was! I had never been to a race like this and didn't realize how loud it gets. Jerrod had given us some of those yellow squishy earplugs for Jenna, but they wouldn't stay in her ears. So, being the paranoid mother, I kept Jenna far enough away from the track so that she wouldn't go deaf.



Check out this video of the race. It gives you a real good glimpse at just how fast they are going!!
