Rusty Wallace Race Day
a2z: the letter “n’ is for Nascar
 |
| Race With Rusty Wallace |
Last year I had a great idea for Ed’s Christmas/Birthday gift. He’s a New Year’s Eve child so combineing gifts is not new to him. Groupon sent out a deal that seemed perfect.
What man could resist 12 laps around the track in a Nascar race car? Not mine! So I bought it, along with extra insurance!
What I didn’t know was that many other wives were buying the same deal, and all of our husbands would be driving the track at the same time.
I should have read the fine print! If I had I would never have purchased this bucket list item for my beloved.
I asked if I could return the gift. Ha! No!

| Fire Proofed! |
So he arrived, took a class and wore this fireproof suit.
Before he climbed in he took a ride around the track with a real driver. It was so fast I couldn’t catch it on my camera. He climbed out of the car beaming like a teenage boy.
Turns out there are no doors in these cars.
No, I didn’t know that, or that the headlights are really stickers!

| Sliding in the Window |
He’s in. He’s ready.
My stomach is knotted with explantions I will have to make to friends and family if he doesn’t come back alive.
Hey, I watch some racing! There are always crashes and burning cars!

Here’s a badly shot video taken by a nerve wracked wife. I caught the take off’ and the wave after that my camera went in my pocket and my hands folded in prayer.
This year I think I’ll give him socks.
Have you ever given your spouse a gift you wished you hadn’t?
Would you give your spouse a dream gift that scares you?
