If you are taking a friend to a dirt track for the first time it's up to you to set some level of expectations and the groundwork of what they should expect. I'm taking a co worker this Saturday to his first Sprint Car race.. He already knows it's going to be loud, might be dusty, what the food and restroom are like and cost to get in. What he does not yet know it the thrill of seeing a Sprinter blast into a turn sideways and kick a roost of dirt high in the sky. Some things you just can't explain.
