First, for anyone training a service dog, going to a race track during a test isn\u2019t a bad idea.  Especially if your dog might be on one some day.  The noise didn\u2019t bother her at all and at one point there were 6 cars on the track.  Having a scanner so you can listen to the crews wouldn\u2019t be a bad idea \u2013 one guy there had a nice looking Icom on that looked just like a ham radio handheld.<\/p>\n

Now Dulce has had experience with bleachers since she was a pup and she knows that people throw food under bleachers.  And that critters hang out there.  She\u2019s been to agility trials since she was 10 months old, so bleachers are good.<\/p>\n

Again, noise didn\u2019t bother her at all.<\/p>\n

We were at a Firestone Tire test and there were 12 teams out when we were there.  I stayed as long as my brain would let me.  At some point, guilt that I am doing nothing starts in and I have to find a reason to be there.  I couldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

The issue for going to a real race is going to be the crowds for her \u2013 and the longer walking for me.  I can see that it is a long walk to the infield if I am going to meet anyone.  So I\u2019m going to have to look at how that experience can be better for me.<\/p>\n

Oh and it\u2019s hard to take pictures of race cars.  They move fast.\"WP_20140416_012\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We did get to see Charlie Kimball @racewithinsulin run.  And both Target cars, an Andretti car and a bunch of others. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
