A Tragic Accident
“Yeah! Let’s go, let’s go!” I said when they asked if I wanted to go watch the first race of the night. My heart was pounding and my adrenaline was pumping. Screech!

There was about six fire trucks, five police cars and an ambulance or two blocking off the road, In the middle of all those emergency vehicles was the yellow Srt-4.
