Yesterday was a pretty good day. First, I took my boys to the Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta. We saw the race and some really cool cars, even a '74 VW Thing. Then we headed back to Athens for the UGA/Vandy game. Todd Gurley scored two TD's, threw a pass and hurdled another defender. Today he stands at the top of the Heisman race. My boys had a blast. Was that off topic??

I can also relate to that first picture. Here's my son at Road America in 1980. He's grown up to be a car guy.
