For Nate's birthday, his parents bought him a racing experience at Newton Speedway. It was AWESOME!!! Nate had a great time and loved every minute of it!
We parked in pit row and walked right up to the track. We hung out and watched guys race because Nate had a class before he could race.
Here is Nate in his class. They had a class for about an hour before they were allowed to get in the car to drive.
The kids checking out Nate's jumpsuit and helmet. Conley and Shay loved watching all the commotion.

The green flag. He had to follow the pace car for 2 laps and practice passing with the 2 other guys in his group. The green flag meant he could let it rip and he did!
The checkered flag. Nate did awesome!!! He lapped both guys in his group. He drove the max speed almost the whole time. What an awesome experience!
This is before he raced. We love how the steering wheel is sitting on the windshield. They were in full gear and strapped in pretty tight...very safe!
Done racing! All smiles!
Nate paid to ride with a pro. They had 2 professional drivers that drove anybody who wanted & paid 4 laps around the track. Nate said it was CRAZY AWESOME! These cars were faster than the cars they let Nate drive. Nate felt that they were going to spin out at the corners they were going so fast.
The professionals would drive with the "normal drivers" occasionally. Here is Nate getting passed by the pro. The pros probably would be going 50mph faster than the "normal guys"...so fast!!!!
