Supercross!

We went to the Georgia Supercross over the weekend and it was awesome! The Georgia Dome was a great venue, very clean and well laid out. Besides the racing, one of the best parts of the evening was the opening ceremonies. They had the Dome rockin! They had all sorts of fireworks, flame throwers, lasers, loud music, and motorcycle riders doing jumps with only a single spot light to show the way. One of the flame throwers had me very impressed. It sat over the starting gate and shot five flames of different colors into the air (See the photo below). It was really cool!

The Georgia Dome experience was a first for me. Also a first for me, perhaps a first for generations of my family, was the way we left the building. Instead of busting out of the building as fast as humanly possible in order to get to the car and out of the city before the inevitable post race traffic jam, we left the building leisurely. What was the reason for the difference? This time our car was parked at the hotel only a skip away from the Dome, very nice!


The Atlanta Supercross, what a fun event!
