Haden's Day at the Track... Race Track That is!





Haden had a new experience yesterday... he went to the Atlanta Dragway! Daddy was working on the Safety Safari Crew for the Super Chevy Show on Sunday and Haden asked Mommy to take him to see Daddy!






We thought Haden would cry with the loud cars going by... but nope. Haden just would look up and try to find out where the noise came from. He even got to see one of the two Jet Cars go by! These are funny cars that are not run by regular engines but real jet engines. I'll try and add the video to the blog of the jet cars going by. The in-laws who live about 6 miles from the track as the crow flies said they thought there was a thunderstorm rolling in but it was just the jet cars boostin' the after-burners.






Haden even got to sit in the seat of a Pro-mod dragster as it was coming back to the pits after the final run. (This is one of the perks of Daddy being a crew member, we sit on one of the two access roads with our trucks.) He met Jerry Rhodes one of the Pro-Mod drivers and Jerry wouldn't let us take a picture on just the outside of his car, he asked (well not really asked, he said "Give me that baby!") to hold Haden in the driver's seat and take the pictures! Haden out of practice with Daddy went right for the stearing wheel! Now let me clear this up, I do not... DO NOT ride around town with my son in my lap like Britney Spears... but we do sit behind the wheel and occasionally, as in once ride around the block.






Haden, I think, had a blast at the track. We look forward to his Jr. Dragster career starting up in a few years. lol.
