Saturday night at the dirt track

Orange County fairgrounds speedway was ablaze with racing tonight. With local fireworks in the background, the above photograph of big block modified race cars at speed was taken just a few minutes after a fox emerged from a break in the wall around the infield pits and trotted off down the front straightway.

The flagman threw a yellow, the safety trucks were called out, the fox was chased away, and the big blocks roared once more.

Fourth of July weekend doesn’t get much better than this, is all I can say.
