Fun update, you certainly accomplished a lot that morning.
Ah, yes, the Speedway. This was an addiction of my younger son. He is now 13 and from the age of 5 (our first trip) until just last year, he insisted on going on this ride. Finally last year he really did not care. I agree, it is smelly and loud. Once a trip is more than enough for me. So, hang in there for a couple of more years!!
