Geo's Birthday Present

For George's birthday, he decided to do something that he's wanted to do for a long, long time so he did!

We're almost there.

In the tunnel

Do you know where we are?

You got it!

He's always wanted to drive a
NASCAR and this was the day!

We parked by the garage.

The cars inside

and more

Helmets waiting for heads next to pit row

First there was a driver's meeting.
The guy conducting it was quite entertaining!

Next it was time to get a driver's suit...

and try it on

Ten cars raced at a time and
George was in the second group.
Each has an instructor in the car.

The red four wheeler pushes the car out.
He then pops the clutch to start it.
George got to go first!

Boogety, boogety, boogety,
let's go racin' George!

Laps 1 ~ 4

Laps 5 ~ 8

Laps 9 ~ 11

He was only suppose to get 10 laps
but the instructor gave him another one.
He passed five cars too!

Coming down pit row after the race

...and about to stop

It was one hot sucker that day too!

I asked him to show me on his
face what he thought of the drive.
I think this says it all!

His magazine shot!

He got a video of the drive too!
Of course, he wants to do it
again only more laps next time.

On Friday, we decided to make a spur of the moment trip to Indiana to see George's Mom and to go to Koodie-Hoo's 10th Anniversary (Sue & Randy's Grill and Bar). We got back last night. I'll post pictures soon.

Until then, have a smilin' time!
