4 more days til...

I go to Fontana and drive one of Andretti's Indy cars for 16 laps! I am so excited and I invited Nemo to film it all. It was a Hanukah gift from my girlfriend so in return, I put her on my life insurance policy. Now, I know that some, no excuse me, a lot of you are snickering to yourselves saying "jeez Jon, it's a set up, can't you see that"? But if I were gonna go, I'd rather go while doing something truly fun. Besides, I'm worth more dead than alive anyway!

Stay tuned for pix.

Jon

What time do you go out? Might be worth a trip out to see you.... drive.

I'm constantly reminding my wife that I'm worth more dead than alive as well!

I will be there for the drivers meeting at 9am but the mtg starts at 10 and it's for an hour. Then, I have 2 8 lap sessions over the next two hours. Might even drive the Cobra there if it's not too hot out.

Well, I did the drive. Damn it was fun and I'll tell ya what, going 100 mph in the Cobra is far scarier than the 155Mph I did in the Indy car. What a blast. Those babies stick to the road!

I'll post pix later.

Jon
