Stock Car Races

Located off the highway between Kihei and Kahalui, this site used to be the old airstrip. Now they offer stock car racing, motocross, drag races and other auto delights.
Saturday night we went to the stock car races, paying only $12 per person. We each had a gourmet hotdog from SUMO DOGS. Curtis had a maui onion dog and I had a mango dog. Both were good. I was hoping to buy beer at the races but apparently it's BYOB.
When we got there, we chose to sit with some nice enough looking people. I was intimidated but Curtis walked right over to them and introduced himself. We talked for a while. Turns out that the folks Curtis met are the leading racers on the track. They were fast. Their family owned company KIHEI CAR RENTAL sponsored many cars on the track.
There were many differ kinds of cars racing. Trans Ams, Camero, lifted trucks, and sprint cars. The sprint cars were so fucking fast!! One of the sprint cars was so fast that it was not only the fastest car on the track, but it was the fastest car EVER in the history of that track. It was the fastest qualifying time ever and the fastest win ever in all races it was in. It was unbelievable.
And the wrecks. Oh the wrecks. My my my. One race ended because there was only one car left, out of six. Another race ended with two cars in it out of six. One wreck flipped the car three full times. Another wreck had the driver slammed by a big car. One of the sprint cars wrecked, flipping one full spiral rotation.

Next weekend they're having Drag Races. I want to go but we'll see if that's what we'll do.

More Maui to come........
