awesome b-day gift from hubby
 

3 laps around Texas Motor Speedway in a Nascar car! Just as a passenger but still awesome.

sounds awesome Becky, when are you going?

Did it today! (but tomorrow is my b-day)

cool, did you get any pics :) happy birthday :D

Wow. Cool!

Happy Birthday!

Remember, pics or it didn't happen. Just kidding. Very cool gift. If there are any pics, we'd love to see `em. Pretty please?

Cool gift.

One of the highlights of owning a Monte Carlo for me anyways has to be driving around MIS in my '06 Monte in 2007. Sure wish we could have done this with the Pace car.

Sounds like fun give us the details. also defiantly post pics if you have any.

Awesome! Did ya videotape it from inside the car? That would be cool to have!

Here's a link to the pics, not sure if it'll work and photobucket is down.

Thanks for the pics Becky. You got to ride in a Denny Hamlin car. Looks like you had a terrific time. It was also kinda cool to see the #8 car again. Did you notice if it was an Aric Almirola, or a Mark Martin #8?

That's awesome Becky!!!

ride along
 

Wasn't that Awesome ?! My g/f did that for me 3 years ago at TMS. I got to ride in a old Scott Riggs car but it was a lot of fun. I thought my stomach was going to come up through my throat :eek:

RJ, I may go to TMS ( Texas Motor Speedway) next spring and do a charity lap thing. I missed the one in Sept. I beleive that it's only three laps at 85mph but it will be fun.

COOL!!! And you better take plenty of pics. :)

Very kewl B-Day gift Becky. Looks like you had a great time.

Glad you had a good time Becky! Happy Birthday!

Yes it was!! My stomach was fine however that first turn made my head feel weird, messed with my equilibrium (sp?). Kinda worried me for a second that I might get motion sickness but it didn't bother me anymore after the initial turn, or maybe shock, LOL.

I've alwys respected the drivers, even the ones I don't like, for being able to do that but I have an even greater respect now. It's unbelievable how much your vision is limited, then having that force against you 1000x/race would completely exhaust me. Then add a possibly ill handling car and 42 other drivers and another 25+mph to it, WOW!
