My brother, a Lt. Colonel (soon to be Colonel) in the US Air Force and, more importantly :), a NASCAR FAN recently had the opportunity to ride a few laps in a NASCAR race car. Click on the photo below or use the Picasa Photo Album menu at left for some pics.

Note from Kenny - June 20, 2008

Hi,

I finally cashed in my Christmas Gift from Brenda (8 laps in a NASCAR by
myself) and a going away gift from my squadron (a ride in a NASCAR at full
speed with a professional driver).

It was an experience of a lifetime...first I road in the #24 car at over 190
MPH for 3 laps, then I made 8 laps in the #1 car by myself following a pace
car and reached a speed of 155.

Take care and see you soon,
Kenny
