Well, I know what happens at camel races now. The camels are secondary -- the real objective is for everyone to drive their SUV's in the desert!! The camels are on an oval track, maybe 6 miles around. They race on the trace while 40+ owners, spectators, etc in their SUV's race around the inside and outside of the track to keep up.
I don't really know which camels won - because they all looked the same to me. And, real people don't ride the camels -- they used to tie kids on top, but somebody thought that was a bad idea, so now they use robots. The driver/owners in the SUV's have remote controllers that can cause the robot to swat the camel to get them to run faster!!!
And yes, it is in the desert, and it's just as dusty as it sounds like it would be. I think one trip to the camel track will be enough for me.
I didn't think I'd know anybody there --- but then Flat Stanley showed up!!! It reminded me of our Flat Stanley.
