Well, here we are. The day before race day. Hunter is so excited. I'm so excited for him, too!
I was in complete awe of my son yesterday at practice. When we started this adventure at the beginning of February, I just wasn't sure what he could do. Although Hunter has always had a car fascination of some sort in his short 7+ years, he has been a very cautious child. When he became a NASCAR fanatic (and hooked Mom, Dad, and Nana into the sport, too) he told us he wanted to be a race car driver like Jeff Gordon when he grew up. We really figured that his little sister was more geared to being the driver and Hunter becoming a commentator - Mr. Talks-a-Lot, you know.
But yesterday, wow, what can I say other than I was in complete awe of my son. He went from running 1:12's laps in the beginning to yesterday running :56's!! He rounded those corners with such confidence and poise. He looked to me like he has been doing this all his life and that his life has been longer than 7 years. Awe. And this is only the beginning.
Yeah, I'm the mom saying this, but, well, you just come watch him for yourself and then you can tell me.
