Speedway Bitches Are The Best

I just got back from the Costa Mesa Speedway where I witnessed a true cultural event. Every Saturday night they hold motorcycle racing! Tonight was a big night...like the championships of the sport or something and the trashy troops were out in force. I even heard Megadeth was there, but I couldn't find them...everyone there looked like Megadeth.

It all happened because of an invitation from this man, Jeff Johnson of Choke Motorcycle Shop. He sent me an email that read as follows: "You should come to the speedway this saturday, speedway is 500cc single oval 1/4 mile races, one gear no front brake all jawa's mostly jawas some bsa's but all single 500cc, its high burning nitro night madness i think it would be good shit for you, you would write about it, nasty chicks, shaw, greasers, loud motors, hotdogs, beer, the need for speeed and true compitition, real love ya know, geary shit like build your own motors all winter, depressed racers living in milwakkee with no girlfriend> or wherever tuning their suspension-less bikes all year filing an extra oz. off their cam follower for the couple weeks mad races. its loud and you get dirt in your teeth and your clothes smell like nitrus for weeks!!!!"

How I could I refuse that?!! These are the bikes they ride. Crazy machines...beautiful actually. Loud as hell and the exhaust fumes make you want to puke, but still really exciting.

Travis and Nick were there too. We kept saying Nick looked like he worked there.

The final race...the bikes come around the bend...

...and zoom past you at CRAZY speed...and you DO actually get dirt in your teeth...and you seriously LOVE every minute!!
