We have that PS2 set up with an actual seat of a car and a steering wheel. (Takes up too much room in the living room IMO)

Had the wheel and pedals combo. I used a bean bag for the seat. I actually fell asleep doing the challenge thing that was 500 laps of a donut...I mean, raceway.

We spent a wonderful day in Tamworth, NH, at a brand new track where Kevin got to drive his own personal race car. It's a Nissan something or other (number 64). We had a bit of a scare, because Kevin was fulfilling is duty as a racing instructor and took a gentleman out on the track. The gentleman (driving his own car) miscalculated the turn and sent them both headlong into the guard rail at an alarming speed. Luckily, neither Kevin nor his student were hurt, only the student's vehicle.
I drove Kevin's Audi up to Tamworth in the hopes of getting a "hot lap", meaning Kevin would be able to take me on track with him driving and me in the passenger's seat, providing we use the Audi, which is allowed on track. Danny, Alex and I had an awesome ride up I 93, then right by Lake Winnipesaukee in the Audi; I never knew driving a fast car with a stick could be so much fun. Unfortunately, the rain proved too risky for Kevin to take me on track.
He did great in his time trials, however. He took home a trophy for third place in his Nissan.

Alex is becoming a bit of a race car enthusiast.

These pics are of Kevin's car on track. I could zoom in a bit, but it would detract from the gorgeous New Hampshire back drop.

cute pictures of you all! Sounds like you had fun and yes, the scenery is beautiful. I'd like to see that same shot in full blown autumn.

Next big race this weekend is the ten hour race at Road Atlanta, 11-9 EST Saturday. You can catch in on Fox Sports 1 or 2.

Kevin made me a car in Forza!

The decals are representative of our of my tattoos, as well as my nickname (Nomi), and the number "76", which is my birth year. You can't see the unicorn on the front, but that is my tramp stamp, errr . . lower back tat. ;;D
I also have a dragon, a snake, flowers, and several more that the car does not reflect.
This is a Ferrari F40 (In pink, my favorite color).

:shock:

Forgive them, Enzo. They know not what they do.

(Meant to add, nice pics above.)
