Racecarlandia

This post is dedicated to Nana and Grampa Bill.

We live in Racecarlandia. There are many racecars here. More per capita than most places. Evos, STIs, and other tuner cars abound. Rumor has it that the script for Fast and Furious Five is set in Kodiak. Something involving a heist of a rocket. And windy roads.

It seems odd considering that we live in Alaska. On an island. Technically off the road system.

In the spirit of Racecarlandia, we took Boodah to the races yesterday. We can say this. His nickname is appropriate. (Not Boodah... the other one... Racecardrivernumerouno). He loved it. Unfortunately for him, he'll have to wait five and a half more months before he can race. Three is the minimum age.

Look at these little buddies go! Can you believe they are only three? Man, Boodah is going to love it here!

And of these buddies, I'm proud to report that the girl smoked them all. By a long ways!

Racecardrivernumerodos didn't appear as interested as 'Uno. But it could just be a rouse, in keeping with his laid back ways. Sidenote: his new nickname is StokoLocoVaca. Crazy cow, that's right. Boodah came up with it. Boodah doesn't speak spanish. That we know of.

We thought Boodah's hair was sweet, but we may have to consider some alternatives. This 'do is pretty awesome.

I love the snowy mountains. Not your typical background scene at the races.

They wouldn't let us take the Forester around for a few laps. We asked.

And now, a demonstration of all the fun that Boodah can look forward to next summer:

It's hard to believe those little pads and the helmet can provide protection when getting that much air. Safety first!

Here's a few seconds of the racecar scene. Just so you know:
