First Race, Mid- Ohio 200


So its Sunday night and we made it back from our first race event, and family vacation. We traveled to Columbus, OH and spent Saturday night in a hotel. That was the easy part, we spent the day doing touristy type things and went out to dinner. 7:00AM Sunday morning the alarm went off and we prepared ourselves for a fun filled day at the Mid-Ohio Sports car course. When we arrived at 9:00AM it seemed as it was going to be a beautiful day, but as the clouds rolled in we knew we were going to have to change our plans a little. Two thunder storms came and passed but we did not let a little rain dampen our day. We ended up watching the Indy Car race from the comfort of the Honda hospitality motor coach where it was dry, and cool. Afton liked being at the track, it was his first Indy car race outside of the mommas belly, but I say it was his 6th. The noise of the engines and announcers acted as a lullaby as Afton didn't let the race interrupt his normal routine of sleeping eating and sleeping. Afton got to meet a lot of people for the first time in person, and it was nice to show him off a bit. Mom, Dad, and son all had a good weekend, and you can be sure that the Mid-Ohio 200 was the first, but certainly not the last race that we will be attending together as a family.
