morgan617 Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 I posted awhile back about my hubs going to Florida. I wanted it very badly and bought him a ticket so he would have to go.The main reason is because he deserves to go. But also, he and some of his internet friends have been racing and building little sim racing cars for about 5 years and they just got a huge 4 year contract with NASCAR! He's been down there and got to go in the pits and all over. He had free access so he could take pictures to help them develop tracks and cars and stuff.This started as a hobby and remains a hobby, but is an absolute dream come true for him. He has called me about 10 times a day so I could hear roaring motors and stuff. (funny boy) but I have been bursting, because we couldn't tell anyone till it was officially announced on Friday. So see this really was important to him.I have been so potsy because of the excitement and all the stuff going on, but it is so worth it! morgan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacquie802 Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Aww Morgan, I am soo happy for your husband! Did he know the whole time what was going to happen?? He sounds like a great guy from what you have told us, so I am really excited for him. How long is he in Florida for?? Hopefully they are having some lovely weather down there, we aren't so lucky up here.I see that you are from Washington, how far is that from Tacoma? I have a half brother who lives in Tacoma.

morgan617 Posted January 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Well, I couldn't get fast reply to come up. He will be home today, or this evening anyway. He took over 1000 pictures and had a total blast. I talked on the phone to a guy from Scotland named Dave, same as hubs, and he had the most beautiful accent.There is actually a shot of my hubs in the race. He was down at the pits and they got a camera shot of him.!We are very excited and he is a very good man and deserves only good things. Thanks for your support on this...morgan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldicedance Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Morgan!!! What great news about your husband's dream come true!! That should help cheer up your household. By the way...was he in Daytona Beach? We will be moving to Florida to a city located between St. Augustine and Daytona Beach. Maybe our paths will cross!

morgan617 Posted January 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Yes, Lois, he was at the Daytona Rolex race. He got back last night. He is still on cloud nine, but said it felt good to be in his own bed. Even though he was crowded out by a dog and me, LOL. morganBTW, Jacquie, I live about 6 hours from Tacoma. morgan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobyD Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Hiya Morgan!Your hubby's a lucky man. I miss the racing business more than anything! The Grand Am Rolex cars will be coming to Virginia International Raceway in April. That's me racing there in my avatar (first race I ever won!). Can't wait to see more pix and get the game when it comes out. Been reading up on it on the web, but most of the sites are in German... where Grand Am racing is as popular as NASCAR! DanMe and Ricky Rudd before everything turned to doo doo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgan617 Posted January 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Hey Dan, there's link that hubs will give me to send to you. It's so nice to see what you look like! morgan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
