    Tom I couldn't view it but I was relieved to hear about the part that your clothes are "on".... :? :D

    I'm not a Facebook guy which probably is my issue...

    How do you get on that track? Is it expensive? Do they let you drive your own car?

    Terry,
    That is Tom's car.
    I'm interested to hear the cost as well...

    This was part of a charity event called Cupcake Meet for: Safe.

    It cost us $65 per car donation but we donated quite a bit more than that. We thought that we would get one parade lap as part of our donation. We wound up doing back to back to back laps from 08:30 until 12:00. There were people there from Louisiana to Arizona. We had over 300 cars at the event.

    Cool...I wish I had known my brother and his 2015 Vette would have probably made a nice donation as well to get to drive that track.

    Here is one that all can see from YouTube...

    Our photographer friend put this together. Part is from our garage, part shot from Cindy's Hellcat and part from him riding in the passenger seat of the Challenger.
