I grew up around race cars, mostly dirt track, but I never even got a ride around the track in one. Yesterday was my day!! I have to admit I am kind of an adrenaline junky. I do get scared, but I almost never let fear keep me from doing something. Yesterday I climbed into a race car with five other pastors from the Northwestern district of the C&MA and raced around a track for 8 laps.
My daughter reminded me after the race that I was the first place loser. Yes, those are her words which I taught her. She kept asking me why I was so happy even though I didn't win. It was a great teaching moment for the both of us. If you can't tell I am a very competitive person. I realized before the race started I was probably not going to win. John Brailand (who I owe a debt of gratitude for setting this up) is an experienced driver and took it to all of us. I am not going to bore you with the lessons, you are probably smart enough to figure that out for yourself.
In the end yesterday ranks in the top ten for best days in my life. There are three days that belong to my family but after that it goes Snow Cat Skiing in Steamboat and then Yesterday.
If you ever get a chance to drive a race car, I definitely recommend it!! WOOO HOOOO
