Hey Drew, what's the date for the Lackland showing? I'd like to bring my oldest (3 year old) son out there to see the car. The last time I had him at the track for a play day he didn't take to the noise too well and we ended up sitting in the truck near the turn 1 fence so he could watch. He liked watching, but not from the stands.. He might be a year or two away from actually going to the races....but he loves watching them on TV.

we should figure out how to organize some cars to be sitting on the front straight maybe during the opening ceremonies and have the national anthem and prayers then dp the startup like nascar. then parade at intermission

 

 

I have thought about bringing our car out being the tribute car for the national anthem.. we will do an intermission parade to include having a wounded warrior pace truck for all features....Great idea Carson
