Hold my beer and watch this

Well, maybe the beer is a little too much, but this is what you should reward yourself to for Chrismas!  I bought three passes in this Chevy 350 rail job a few years back.  It was a super treat!  When you're almost sitting on the tarmac, everything seems to go much faster.  It's a little hot and sweaty, but it's a great feeling and makes a cherished memory.  Everybody should do this at least once.  We should make that a rule! 

Hold my beer and watch this Happy holidays everyone.

Hi Robert, Nothing compares to rush you get when you mash the pedal and your eyeballs feel like they are going to push through the back of your head. Before I started in Real Estate I was the Purchasing Manager for Dart Machinery, "Dart Cylinder Heads"

Robert ~ This looks like way too much fun!  You get a Mom out of the mini-van soccer carpool, and in one of these babies, and I'll bet she takes it around really smooth!  I would love to do something like this!

OMG, that looks so much fun...

but I've always been scared of the boats on the water that can speed more than 50 miles an hour  :)

Mehmet, 50 mph in a boat is probably more dangerous than 150 mph in a well-built dragster, so I understand your fears.  Beer, Mehmet, beer... it's possible to drink all your fears away!  We do it all the time here in the south.  Hence, the expression, 'Hold my beer and watch this!'

Inna, I did the same.  I could never bring myself to jump out of an airplance that was flying perfectly well.  So, I blamed my fears on my first wife.  She said I was too important to her to be jumping out of airplanes, so on her suggestion, I decided not to jump.  She left me anyway!!

Robert, How cool for you! Looks like a lot of fun. I know my husband would love to go to the raceway in Homestead (I think it's there) the next time he's on an outage in Florida. Merry Christmas!

Hmm, shades of the "Bucket List" starting here???

Glad you had fun with it.

A wife is not a reason to "not" do something l(well, as long as you ain't violating the commandments) ike jump out of an airplane.  As you said, she left you anyway and you still haven't jumped out of the plane.  Memories are forever!
