Our mom's group took a field trip to the Texas Motor Speedway last week. Coop has really gotten into Cars and Lightning McQueen, so he was excited to go to the racetrack! It was a little too much for him to understand, but he loved seeing the race cars, pictures of drivers and the track...kept saying "Queen Car." I thought the tour was great and kind of made me want to go to a race someday. Will for sure take Coop back for the tour again in a few years when he might appreciate it more.
Here we are on victory circle. Where we are standing is right where the winning car pulls up to do press/pictures after the race.
So, this is an awful picture, but let me explain... This is a piece of the tissue confetti thrown after each of the races. Only in Texas would the confetti be the shape of the state, there is a lot of state pride down here!
The view from pit lane
There are no words to describe the wind that day! It literally blew Cooper over right after this picture.
Now, this is where I want to be to watch a race...in the suites!
Learned lots of fun facts that day...here's just one. Texas Motor Speedway is the second largest sporting venue in the U.S. To put it in perspective, 4 Texas Stadiums could fit in the Speedway!! What's number 1? The Indianapolis 500. Did you guess that???
