Nelson Speedway

 Nelson speedway

On Lansdowne road, in Richmond, I went to speedway and raced. Richmond is south of Nelson, 7.5km apart from each over. I went to the mall for lunch. Once we got to lunch we went to speedway and got the cars out. I went to the track to look at it, it looked wet and small.

Summer

Once it was five o clock I went out for my first race. When it was time to grid up I was right behind the person in front of me. When the lights went green my right foot went straight down to the ground. The track was mudyer than it has ever been. I went into the first corner sideways thinking I was going to spin up. Mud was flicking all over me. I drove into the pits and got my helmet, beleclaver, and earpieces off. I was so hot I tipped water all over me to cool down.

Winter

In the winter speedway is not on, but if it was, the track would be wet and muddy. Cars would be everywhere and you would get hot. If it rained in the winter and is the same in the summer you can’t race. You can’t race when it's raining because it could damage your car as in blowing up a motor.

Niger

 

For learning languages, Taiao has been learning French with french. Miss G said to choose a place that speaks french and I chose niger because I don't know that much about it and I didn't even know it was a place. This was cool learning about the river and that it's one of the top ten longest rivers. When I saw the river I thought that it would be the biggest but it wasn't.
