NEED FOR SPEED

If you think we were going to let Todd have all the fun at the race track, think again.

Jim is more than ready for his ride. (Notice Todd’s red helmet and shoe laces to match his red car.)IMG_2505

Now it’s my turn. Michaela let me use her helmet. (Notice it’s green and Todd’s is red. Michaela has shoes with green laces. Guess what their wedding colors are.)IMG_2509

IMG_2511 Not sure if you can see the big grin on my face or not. I was having so much fun.

Both Jim and I were very impressed at how well Todd can handle his car around this track. We reached speeds of 100 mph on the back stretch and averaged 60 mph throughout the course. Todd has this really neat app for his phone that tells him all this information.

Family time – the best time.

  5. For me, this would be a spectator sport. I'm not the adventurous sort and no one would want to risk me being sick in their car. :)

    Good for you, though, being able to enjoy this experience!

  7. Sounds like you both had a great time. Always fun to get high speeds on a track that is safe, compared to the freeway.

  8. You are a VERY, VERY brave couple! I don't think I could do that! Are you two going to go to driving school and get a Hot Mamma car?

  9. Now why didn't you get behind the wheel and take it around a few laps LOL?? That looks like fun and I'd do it in a heartbeat.

  12. Love the red shoelaces idea. I would feel much more comfortable driving the car than being in the passenger seat except that I would not be able to do it as fast or as well as your Son.
