Today, I had an exhilarating experience of watching the GrandPrix Car Race in Houston. This is the first time I ever watched a car race so close in my life.
Last week, my friend called me and asked whether I wanted to use 2 free tickets he has for the event. I said, why not ? "Boys like cars and Gals like dolls", always even after they grow older. I don't think I am an exception to that worldwide phenomena. This is a good chance for me to witness the car race closer and especially being a forced bachelor who has lot of time to kill. Thanks to my friend who offered us free tickets.
I happily accepted the offer and immediately turned around to email a friend who is my best bet to accompany me for the event. He readily accepted my offer as he also never seen the race. I was so excited being a person who always look out for new fun experiences. Also I used to see the races in TV's when I was kid. They used to show races which happened every year in Cholavaram near chennai.

I advertised all over my work place that I am going to GrandPrix this weekend. My boss said its really loud man. I said, thats OK without sensing the fact of it.
Like boys day out, we(3 of us) were there at the Reliant Area (where the race happens) on time for the first one. When we checked in, I could hear the loud noise of the cars going so fast there itself.

Looks like the race was already started. We found our seats and immersed ourselves to the race with so amazing with fast moving cars passes every minute.. After being there for 15mins, my ears totally couldn't hear a thing. I remembered my boss words now.. He is right, its loud, so loud with cars zooming in 120mph speed
ZOOOOOOOOm................ ZOoooooooooooom....
