I drove myself to Boca Raton Executive Airport at the age of 17, flew my first three-leg solo, wracked up 6 hours of solo flight time, then drove home.
Other than that, a whole lotta stupid speeding attempts at early morning hours with friends in the car - a 1988 Mitsubishi Starion. So glad I lived through that period.

watching force and amato trade the NHRA speed record back and forth no less than 5 times in one weekend many years ago at etown. their pits were close enough for them to yell cheap jokes back and forth, it was great.
that was alo the last time i could afford to go to all 4 days of a national event too

going to Don Garlits museum in Ocala, FL and asking if he was around and the lady saying he stepped out but would be back soon. My mom asked if she could call him and tell him Eddie Kowalick (my grandfather)'s daughter and granddaughter were there, so she did, and it turned out he was in the back room. We were invited back to hang out and talk to him and his wife.

By far the best thing ive witnessed and have taken part in was probably the cruise in Ocean City. Nothing but amazing cars making noise, roasting some tires, and possibly going a little over the speed limit.

mine is simple..
First time at the track (island). I always wanted to do it, and finally getting to do it and placing a respectable time really meant something to me. Guess its just one of those life goals. May not seem like much to most of u guys since most of u hit the track all the time.

I saw a Z06 do a burnout on Route 9. I never go to automotive-related events.

For me it is every day I put the t-tops in the trunk and take the IROC to work. Each day is better than the last.
