A Day At The Race Track


Recently got two free tickets from Marlboro to go to Gateway International Speedway and spend the day riding shotgun in some pretty bad-ass rides. Got to do a few laps in an IROC, then did some drifting in a Mustang, got fed a nice all-you-can-eat buffet, and of course a huge bag of goodies to take home. Pretty cool day except the temps reached 90 and the freakin race suit was HOT. Here's a couple pics and a video.

Suited up, waiting my turn:

After they pulled my 6'2" self out of the window:

That drifting looks TOO FUN!!

I remember nights of doing that on winding mountain roads

Think I'll keep it on a track these days tho.

Looks like fun. how many packs did you have to smoke for that?

You might want to secure the hood on that mustang, too.
