To meet he...Theresa - I think you'd like Betty. To meet her in her waitress job, though, it's hard to imagine her racing a team of chariot horses.<br /><br />Betsy - I was surprised, too, when I found out how Betty had earned that gigantic buckle. Like you, I had no idea we had chariot racing right here in the good ol' U.S.<br /><br />Ruth - It sounds as if, at these races, it's all about the fun and the charity. Everyone looks out for one another and helps each other. Not quite like NASCAR racing. :)<br /><br />Hilary - I should have made it more clear that I wasn't in attendance at these races. Betty and I have kept in touch since our original encounter, and she provided the photos and facts for me. But I'd sure love to have been there in person.<br /><br />George - It does look exciting, doesn't it? We here in our part of the country would probably have heart palpitations at what they call "fun" in Wyoming.<br /><br />Steve - You're right...there IS danger. I guess that adds to the adrenaline rush.<br /><br />Gail - I hadn't realized the charitable aspect of the sport when I published the first post. That does add a nice dimension to it.<br /><br />Petra - That "slender, soft-spoken" appearance is what surprised us so when we learned that Betty raced chariots...that and the fact that there were such things as chariot races still being practiced here in our country. What a great "chance" encounter that was. I think we'll be hearing more from Betty as she shares some of the other things those folks in Wyoming do for fun.Linda at To Behold The Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07419060763634934217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031302234429148594.post-42766826399765247712013-03-24T16:10:49.081-04:002013-03-24T16:10:49.081-04:00Linda, I like the connection between the slender, ...Linda, I like the connection between the slender, soft-spoken woman and this quite dangerous sport causing adrenalin rush.

I'm so touched that they do this for charity.
