Going to Dover -- The 8.5 Hour Ride Home

Each year, I attend two NASCAR races at Dover with my friend Mike.

This year sucked.

It rained for a good part of the day.

Mud was everywhere.

They cancelled the race at 2:30.

We got in the car to avoid the rain and try to make the ride home.

4 hours later, the cars started to move and we got out of the parking lot.

Normally, we would have cooked and drank and waited, but it was pouring.

One Gross Thing

As we waited, a woman with no shoes walked through the pouring rain and right into a porta-potty.

Gross.

It was so bad at one point, that we fell asleep behind the wheel for an HOUR and when we awoke, no one had moved.


Second Gross Thing

When we got to a McDonald's right before the Delaware Memorial Bridge, we were grossed out to hear that the women's bathroom was leaking out into the restaurant floor, and even more skeeved when two guys walked in without shoes (from the beach) and walked through it to go to the men's room.

Makes me wish that Tucker was there.

One of the highlights, as always, was spending time with my buddy; I just don't get to see him enough.

I didn't know Britney Spears was in Delaware recently! I can't believe she walked RIGHT in front of your car!
