It may have been raining in Richmond yesterday, but it was a great day to go racing at MIS!!!

I have to add one more picture for Mark...he took a lot of crap for wearing his Kyle Busch T-shirt.

Anyway, last year I won the trip down to Miami, and got to do the 3 day racing experience down there. One of my instructors from there is the one who owns the school we went to at MIS yesterday. After the day was over we went to dinner with him and a lot of his family, who all help him with the school. His girlfriend was the most relentless in harassing Mark. Here he is with her, doing her Kyle Busch impersonation.

I see the resembelance....

I thought of you guys yesterday!!
Was a good day for racing!
Who'da thunk back in 2003 a tiny little meeting in Findlay OH would snowball into all we've done!?

Very true!! You should have come with us....you would have had plenty of competition for picking the most on Mark....Christy started in at the house and Debbie was brutal!!!

We really did have a wonderful time yesterday. It was a PERFECT day-and night!

Amy being the sweet and wonderful person she is let my mom have an extra ticket she had. Mom LOVED it and can't wait to do it again!

What was almost as cool as riding was that we got to go into Victory Lane

and even up on the track it's self!

----------------------------------------------------

Yep, never thought when I joined PT that I would be riding in a race car with the friends I met here

I'm sorry Kimmy....I sorta forgot about you being a NAscar fan too...and adventure seeker after the skydiving (which we may need some details on...did you do that in Detroit?) Anyway, I should have asked you to come along!

Ralph is thinking next year he may try driving. If anyone else is interested in driving or riding, or just going along, let me know! It does become more affordable when you know the school owner

Yep Anna! I loves them race car drivers.

My parents camp in the infield at MIS.

Aww that's okay Amy.

My cousin in law got to drive a race car at MIS. It is something that I thought would be fun to try.

As far as skydiving, we went here:
Midwest Freefall - http://www.midwestfreefall.com/

Also, congrats to Tony!!

Anytime you want to try let me know and we'll get you hooked up! I think Ralph may go back to drive next year....

I was thinking Debbie and Kyle, but hey, whatever!!

I was thinking about sending Sean a link to the pictures, but then I thought I might have to edit first...maybe I'll just send a few from the track individually

Might be a good idea...lol!

Fans crash supercar

A £250,000 supercar crashed on its first public test drive after two fans persuaded a garage manager to let them take it for a spin.

The 420bhp Veritas RS III - built as a prototype by the Vemot AG company - had been on display at a car dealership in Moenchengladbach, Germany.

Fans Martin Holtz, 44, and Friedrich Voller, 53, persuaded the manager to let them take it for a spin.

But they lost control of the V8-engined motor - which does 0-62mph in just 3.2 seconds - within minutes and ploughed into a lamppost.

Police arrested them as they tried to flee the mangled wreck, now being salvaged by mechanics.

"The car is immensely powerful and they grossly overestimated their driving skills," said a police spokesman.

This would never happen to a PTer.
