I'll never forget my younger son's first good blip when he was around 10, we were in a shuttle from the parking lot at Sears Point heading into the track filled with race fans in a good mood, and on its way in the shuttle pulled right behind a pro nitro teams pit right when they shot off a big blip.

My son was excited to be coming to the race and I think that excitement helped make him jump up a mile, and everybody on the bus laughed but with him, not at him, his face was scared at first but then when he realized a bomb hadn't hit us he put on a big smile as people were telling him "welcome to the races kid".

Great story Paul.
I had a similar version with my nephew Andrew.
As you know, before the remodel, you could get pretty close to the right lane launch pad/starting line at Sears Point.
It was his first time, and I took him to the fence in front of the Christmas tree for Top Fuel.

BTW, stop in and visit in the chat room Monday nights.
We don't have enough Pauls in there.
