Yes, that is my husband in a racing suit standing next to the race car that he drove around the Talledega 500 Track. This weekend, Drew, my dad, Drew's brother Dave, my brother in law James and about ten or so other guys went to Talledega to the Richard Petty Driving Experience. My dad has actually done this before and loved it and so he planned a "guys day" and they had a great time- actually the word every one used was AWESOME. The way it is set up is after being trained and briefed, you are suited up and then you get to drive the racecar 8 laps. There is a lead car ahead of you that is your instructor so to speak- of course alot they can do going 150+ miles per hour in another car. But, Drew had a great time and he came home and proudly announced that his top speed was 153 miles per hour! Way to go!!

WHOOOO HOOOO! What fun! My Dad went too and had a AWESOME time! Can't wait to see the DVD!
Thanks for sharing these pics! Did Drew or your Dad happen to get any with my Dad? I'd LOVE to have a copy!
Dad got two of himself (by the car and in the car) but I just love those snap shots!
