Halloween Havoc Race

       The Halloween Havoc is a race we started with one of our really close friends a few years ago out at Shady Oaks Speedway in Goliad. He is deceased now after a tragic wreck one night. They had a "Beat The Boss" race and he ended up flipping his car, being left in critical condition. He was left paralyzed from the accident. The new owners of the track keep up the tradition.
       What we normally do on that night is have all of the races as normal, but the winners get a "Halloween Havoc Feature Winner" plaque. Last year, my Dad, (who happens to be an amazing driver) won the Feature race in the Hot Stock Truck Class. (his picture is shown below). The funny thing is, all of the truck class, is my family and very close friends. All of which are either brothers or like a brother.

      Anyways, back to the Event.. At intermission, the majority of the race cars are brought out on the track with loads of candy. then when all clear, the kids are let out on the track to trick-or-treat. I mean really, they're kids and they were drug to a racetrack on Halloween.. it's the least we could do. (Pictured below are my parents during the trick or treating along with a few pictures taken around the track)

      After the kids are done getting candy, they go back to their seats where they get all hyped up on sugar. Then the racing proceeds, ending with the feature races.

That's really all there is to it. but it's a blast when you get to be involved in all that goes on out there. hope you enjoyed the pictures!
