Mine used to be ...Drive a sprint car. After years of spectating I had to find out what it felt like to drive one. You know, 800 horsepower,1400 pound car. I must have mentioned it to my wife and for our 20th anniverary she surprised me with 25 laps at the Corey Cruseman sprint car school right here in Ventura. It was awesome. That was 4 years ago and the thing I want to do now before I die is drive a sprint car again!

I now feel pretty good that I've lived at least a portion of someone elses dream.

 

Great thread Bob! Bonneville, LA Roadster Show, Grand National Roadster Show, Pebble Beach are events I'd love to get to someday. Finishing ALL the car projects I have would be nice. Driving the HEMI powered '30 Roadster crosscountry with a stop at Bonneville would be really great. Getting ALL the kids college bills paid is a dream I'd like to realize in my lifetime.
