I am SPEED!

don't mind the helmets and the closed toed shoes it was required.  The bad picture?  I don't understand how in this day and age some people still don't know what button to press.

Way back in June I won a Father's Day drawing and was able to give John two tickets to race an Audi TT on the Dubai autodrome.  He was excited about the Father's day gift and of course, chose to take me with him!  What a guy!  We just went the other night and had a great time.  After a mini orientation and explanation, we each got into separate cars with an instructor in each and raced around a winding and curving track for 20 minutes.  Then we enjoyed a couple laps with our instructors at the wheel (showing us how it's really done) and we were done.  

I realized, although it was lots of fun, I am definitely not as gutsy and reckless as the pro.  Maybe that's because I am pregnant and shouldn't be participating in sports like this.  But, I have a feeling I wouldn't have driven much differently had I not been pregnant.

AND

that Audi TT is a pretty sweet car to drive.

AND

when the instructor reminded us as we left to go home to be safe on the roads and that we weren't on the race track anymore, I sort of laughed and thought: "obviously".  But he was right! Staring at the road after that kept making me want to accelerate after coming off a turn or switch to the inside lane.  Good thing John was driving home.
