Angry engines roar by so fust
that the only remnant is of the
fumes and burnt rublier smell left
behind as the cars screech around
the four corners of the () shaped
track, often turning the < ars side
ways and sometimes creating
more serious accidents.
One particular accident gets the
crowd riled, though all of them
get "oohs” and "aohs” from the
fans.
During some of the last races,
the nearly 20 cars racing together
resemble a mass herd of deer, uni
formly moving until the later laps
begin to weed out the slower,
weaker vehicles.

one of these races that sees a i ar
