AliveBoy Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 So, some of you may know, I'm getting married on the 2nd of August, which in itself is very exciting! However.... This also means, I get to have a blowout holiday with my soon to be wife (Elin) and do cool things I'd normally never do... I've just booked to drive a NASCAR when we're in Vegas! :yahoo: :yahoo: It wasn't cheap by any means, but Elin said it's likely my one chance for the foreseeable future, so I booked this morning! :D That is all. Sorry for the interruption 12 Quote
Wasso Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 I should think so too...... Congrats and Congrats, that's pretty cool 1 Quote
Daveyboy11 Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Firstly congrats! Secondly what an awesome experience that will be!! Enjoy 1 Quote
Daryl Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Hope all goes well on your big day. Going to Vegas should be great, driving a Nascar should be epic, what a great honeymoon! 1 Quote
coldel Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 You can do cool things you wouldn't normally do after you are married too... 1 Quote
Stutopia Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Every cloud has a silver lining! it's almost worth getting married Congrats, should be a tremendous experience. 1 Quote
Ekona Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 I looked at doing one of those experience days too, at Daytona when I'm out there next week. Like you say though, hellishly pricey and I just couldn't justify the cost. How many laps did you go for? My best mate drove one out there many years ago, said it was amazing. Enjoy fella, I'm sure you'll love it 1 Quote
Kraziekatz1 Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Congratulations & that is sooooo cool We got married in Las Vegas but we were only poor students and couldn't afford to do anything as awesome as NASCAR racing.........hope you have a great time 1 Quote
WhackyWill Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Congratulations on both counts, Enjoy. Don't forget to post a few pics. (of the NASCAR of course..) 1 Quote
Rock_Steady Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 you're getting married!?!? .... o well, nevermind. No, congrats! seriously, welcome to the world of compromise, so well done on getting that booked, and book anything else you can think of right now that you won't be allowed to do in the future!!!

AliveBoy Posted July 14, 2014 Author Posted July 14, 2014 Thanks for the kind words guys and girls We went to Vegas 2 years ago for 3 days, we weren't too bothered and it was more of a "tick it off the list of places to go" thing than anything and we absolutely loved it! I'm so excited for all of it We get married on the 2nd and then have a wait until the 18th for honeymoon as the prices literally halved due to the American schools going back in August! I looked at doing one of those experience days too, at Daytona when I'm out there next week. Like you say though, hellishly pricey and I just couldn't justify the cost. How many laps did you go for? My best mate drove one out there many years ago, said it was amazing. Enjoy fella, I'm sure you'll love it going for 8 laps I couldn't justify any more than that, there's in car video recordings etc too (at extra cost of course!) which should be cool, and you get a print out of your lap times and top speed. I'll post those up even if I'm rubbish I'm really lucky, Elin is the right amount of interested in cars. Enough to come to meets, shows, drift days etc, but not interested enough that we need to pay for two modified cars 1 Quote
Ekona Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 8 laps should be plenty I think, what day are you doing it? Just wondering if you say it's great then I could still book myself in if we're out there 1 Quote
Dannyg Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Congratulations just came back from vegas and did the worldclassdriving experience in a 458, R8, z06 and a 662bhp mustang and loved it! Vegas is just awesome!! 1 Quote
rjohnson1993 Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 enjoy mate and congratulations on the marriage 1 Quote
Humpy Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Awesome stuff and congratulations Whilst is Vegas go to the gun range if thats your thing 1 Quote
Tinyflier Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 oooo now that is appealing... am planning on couple of weeks meandering around the West coast mid Sep and a little trip to Vegas to take in the NASCAR experience now looks very tempting. David 1 Quote

Just wondering if you say it's great then I could still book myself in if we're out there 22nd August is the day of the drive. A long time to wait haha! Shake and bake! Amazing, love that film! will have to get that in somewhere! We've been living together for 5 years now, so it's not a massive rush into things even though we're still fairly young 1 Quote
