My 8 year old son had a blast being on a "real" racetrack..

Not sure yet if we will be able to make this trip yet or not.. Will have to post at a later time when we get a bit closer to the event.

Everybody's common complaint was lack of speed. The Trucks are supposed to be ouside monitors to keep cars in line but some of them weave in and out between the cars creating hazardous situations. This needs to be brought up to the monitors again before track day. They want you keep close intervals and not get spread out, but it's hard to do with these clowns weaving in and out and we can't see around them. This is on film.
