It was really the first form of NASCAR, Roma style. You could see at one end that they were excavating, but our tour guide said that they had really dug up all they could. After we had leaned about the race track, we went to the mouth of truth, which is this stone statue that they believe is a water god. It was believed that if you would lie while your hand was in the mouth, it would be bitten off. We ended up getting one of our chaperones Kelly a small replica of the statue because she said she wanted it.
