A Need for Speed


If you know my husband, you know he has an incredible taste for adrenaline rushes in the form of fast moving vehicles. It doesn't matter if it's a go-cart, motorcycle, race car, snowmobile or anything else that can move really, REALLY fast. A true need for speed. And, he loves to watch racing. All kinds. He always jokes that if potato sack races were on TV, he'd probably watch those too.

This past weekend, Kevin got a taste of what it would be like to be a professional race car driver by actually driving an Indy car. He was behind the wheel. By himself. And he topped out at 142.49 MPH. Yes, you read that right! One hundred and forty two miles an hour. If he could have gone faster, believe me, he would have.

Maggie & Peyton were so proud of their Daddy! I wonder what's next on the speed agenda...
