THE NEED FOR SPEED!!

Janet had the thrill of a lifetime on Saturday! Dad's (Tony's) graduation gift to Janet was a Richard Petty Driving Experience. She drove 8 laps in a race car at the Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet Illinois! She followed an instructor around the track and had to stay right behind the lead car. Her top speed was 133 MPH! Yikes!! We picked up Richard in Chicago and all of us watched Janet as she drove around the track. Richard and Tony did the "ride along" experience. They were in the front passenger seat while a professional driver raced around the track. Both Richard and Tony said they couldn't/wouldn't drive like Janet did!
