My nephews from back home, ages 9 and 10, are coming tomorrow to spend a few days with us. The oldest actually turns 11 on Saturday while they’re staying with us. They have recently started getting into a couple stock car racing games and have asked their mom about going to a real race sometime. They have two little sisters too, so mom has her hands full, obviously. Making things more difficult, their daddy is currently on military deployment in Afghanistan. Obviously it’s not an easy time for mom or the kids, but they are extremely excited to come to our house for this visit. What the boys don’t yet know is, I’m taking them to the races in Swainsboro Saturday night. I’m not even going to tell them. We’re just going to load up for a boys night out and they’ll find out where we’re going when we get there.
I’ve taken a lot of newbies to the races over the years, including my own kids, but this one is going to be special in so many ways. I’ve already been contacted by a couple drivers, the track photographer, and the track itself, offering to meet the boys and help make their experience even more special. We talk and hear about the term “racing family†a lot, and this night is going to be another great example of it. This is going to be awesome.
