We have been wanting to take the boys to one of these for a while now and decided upon last weekend to do it. Being the novices that we were, we thought it rather odd that people were selling earplugs outside the parking garage. “C’mon I thought, how loud can it be?” The closer we got to our seats, the more little kids I saw with ear protection and adults with ear plugs. That’s when I started to worry. And sure enough, as the trucks started up their thunderous engines we were all deafened. I have never EVER heard anything so loud! Poor Levi tried to be brave but started to cry and I had to rush him out the door (no easy feat in a stadium) and stand in a really long line to buy $20.00 (!) ear protectors. I was kicking myself because of course we had a 50 pack at home that cost only $2.00. If only I’d known!!!! The other boys suffered through ok and we managed to have a good time. Needless to say when we were done, our ears and arms hurt. 
Yes, we looked ridiculous, but it was so painfully loud I did not care! 
Here’s a video of one of the races.
One of the highlights of the show was three motocross bikers who came out to do some stunts. The boys LOVED this, in part because they could take their hands off their ears! I caught their excitement below.
Levi suffered through, whimpering every once in a while. 
I felt horrible for bringing him until we were in the car on the way home. The older boys couldn’t contain their excitement. So Levi piped in, “That was so cool!” Rock and I were shocked and said, “Really, Levi? What was your favorite part?” He answered gleefully, “Every part was so awesome!!” Ah-huh. Sure. But hey, as long as he has good memories, it’s all good, right?
