I had the opportunity to spend the day with my 16 year old at the track yesterday ... just him and I. I highly recommend this to any and everyone reading this, that have kids! We had a chance to get to know each other again, and do a bit of male bonding. It was a great day, he was finally old enough to be able to access the restricted areas (mainly the starting line) at the track. His jobs were to make sure the master power switch was on/off at the appropriate times, and check tire pressure. He also was my official photographer for the day, going down on the starting line and taking pics. Everyone was more than happy to have him there hanging out with us, letting him sit in their cars, take pictures, and taking time to explain things to him.
We hung out with the usual suspects:
That's me on the left, Bob Troxler (84 y/o) in the middle, and Rick Mann (mannr on here).
Here is my boy Brian with Rick's car:
The day turned out GREAT, the weather was iffy, but we stuck it out and brought this home:
The day would have turned out great with or without it, but it gave me a wonderful sense of accomplishment since my son was there. The excitement he had with each round WE won was incredible!...I think he was more amp'd up than I was. I'm now sitting at #3 in points, out of 59 competitors...only 2 points from being in second place...
Now get out there and take your kids to the races!!!
