Default I just did the coolest thing ever - Father's day gift

I know this may be a little off subject, but I had to share it with my fellow Stangers.

My wife got me a packagefor Team Texas Driving School at Texas Motor Speedway for Father's day and out 19th aniversary. These are real NASCAR stock cars, and real NASCAR motors. The package included a 30 minute briefing, then they took us around on the speedway in a van to show us how to hit our marks. Finally, we were outfitted with race jump suits.We had to wait just a bit so they could finish drying the track, then I got 10 laps around the track. I cannot get over the power, wonderful sounds and handling! What athrill!!

Lastly, she also purchased an additional 4 laps with me as a passenger while oneof thepros was driving. They sent8 cars out and proceded to do really open them up, do passes and really scare the crap out of you as they came withininches of the wall and the other cars. Unbelievable G-forces in the corners, top speed around 160MPH. My neck is even a little sore! All I can say is Wow!
