Every Conversation About the Town Speedway 

by JR Walsh

“We’re one mile away and you can feel the roar. Coffee grinder in your chest. If they’re delayed by rain, they race deep into the night. Whole neighborhood coughs up exhaust and dirt. I’ve no desire to watch cars loop around and round.”

“You should go see some races, though.”
