I think I might have created a monster.

I went to the track today to help my buddy and watch some grudge racing. My twins have not been to the track since they were babies. Now that they are a little older I decided it was time. My buddy is the white Camaro in the first video. The second is my Boy's reaction.

Speaking from experience.......yes.

My wife and I have always had interest in cars and our son has the same enthusiasm. We're both happy about it but now that he is 15 he as more energy than me and her combined.

Sigh, if that were my kid, he'd have his eyes glued to his little electronic game thingy. If I weren't in the delivery room when he was born I'd swear he wasn't mine. I'm going to go into the kitchen now and kick his momma in the butt.


All kidding aside, it's great that your kids are taking an interest.

Thanks man! The wagon runs lots of small tire and no prep races where training wheels are not allowed.
When you have a car that fast on itty bitty tires it is a fine line between blowing the tires off the car and looking at the moon from the driver seat.
Here is the same Camaro a couple weeks ago. Fine line I tell you
