Just to be ornery, after I got Roger all excited
about locating some tasty beverages, I lagged
behind and took one last photo of the rest
of the city past the stadium. I figured I'd
found the main road that had funneled all of
those sweet cars by us earlier at the beer
stand.
Mmmm, beer stand. Back to that quest!

On our way (hopefully) back the way we had come,
we found a spot with a nice shot of the main
straightaway of the racetrack, a long, stepped
hill. There was a gigantic video screen mounted
behind the straightaway that was displaying the
progress of the practice race from far better
angles than we'd been able to get. In fact, our
view of the TV screen right then was better than
our view of the race, as is amply demonstrated by
our handy video record below.

See how the video screen is much more entertaining
to watch than the tiny little specks shooting up
the straightaway at approximately 9, 16, 18, 22, 25, and
29 seconds? Yeah, it was about the same way in
person, too. Except a shitload louder, especially
when they went roaring up the straightaway.

We turned down another path and found ourselves
headed down a tunnel of moss and overhanging
cacti. The slope carried us down quickly and
we emerged to find, what else, that we were
back on the wrong side of the palace again!
Dammit! How does that happen?!
I quickly slipped our map into Roger's back
pocket, then blamed him for always getting us
lost.
