hot laps!

 

for dad's 60th birthday, us four kids went in together to buy him some hot laps at barbagallo raceway in a v8 supercar. i have to admit, he did look a little horrified, but excited at the prospect. so the day finally arrived almost a year later that he was booked in and ready to go... and off he went.

isn't he cute!?

 

upon hearing of his adventure, my first question was, of course, how fast did you go? his answer was 145km/ph. hilarious. i've gone faster than that on the freeway. oops. that is a long straight though, and the raceway doesn't really allow for that kind of thing, unless of course you are a professional. ehrm, not yet.

dad in action!
