Only a small section of roadway is closed off, people can still get into and out of the city and with the tourists in as well for the Fringe Festival, our little city is currently very busy.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-22368207240224449282012-03-03T06:24:38.425+10:302012-03-03T06:24:38.425+10:30Lots of fun for some people, but it also means tha...Lots of fun for some people, but it also means that the city closes down for everyone else.Christinehttp://www.lockwoodseasons.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-35135943357936863842012-03-03T01:33:45.324+10:302012-03-03T01:33:45.324+10:30Delores; lots of fun for the city, but I don't...Delores; lots of fun for the city, but I don't even watch these things on TV, unless I happen to catch a bit on the news. <br /><br />Joanne; I remember going to Rowley Park Speedway with a carload of friends when I was 17. We spent most of the night behind the stands eating chips and drinking coke. I don't think we watched a single race. I've never been since.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-56575415673382552032012-03-03T00:23:01.420+10:302012-03-03T00:23:01.420+10:30My brother in law took my grandaughter took my gra...My brother in law took my grandaughter took my grandaughter to the stock car races when she was seven. Brought her home at midnight, a sleeping sack of potatoes. Next day she pronounced it fun.

Fun to watch on TV though where there is no danger of a vehicle crashing into the stands (and you can turn the sound down).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-9551246762336168562012-03-02T22:41:54.568+10:302012-03-02T22:41:54.568+10:30EC; I'm a wuss too when it comes to car races....EC; I'm a wuss too when it comes to car races. I don't want to be anywhere near when a car might flip over or run into the barricades or fences, risking the spectators as well as himself. <br /><br />Elisabeth; The noises and smells bring on headaches. I avoid noisy places as much as I can.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-31332623617405562182012-03-02T20:23:03.354+10:302012-03-02T20:23:03.354+10:30Horrible racing noise and smells, but some people ...Horrible racing noise and smells, but some people enjoy it.

Not only the noise but also the smell of motor racing bothers me. And I am not comfortable with the risks they are taking either.
