Day 18







We all slept in today. There is no where that we have to be today and we are looking forward to just being able to relax and maybe have so fun. After our quiet times, we headed out to breakfast at U.S. Egg. While we ate we talked about some things that we could together. Ryan has spent a lot of time here and I used to live here so we knew that we could think of something. I think Ryan and I were talking about cars or something when he remembered.....F1 indoor kart racing. It is an indoor go kart track here in Phoenix. The guys seemed to be the most excited about the idea, but we all said that it sounded like ti would be fun to do. After we ate we slowly made our way to the F1 location, and after making 2 pit stops and getting lost....I mean turned around 1, we arrived. There are 2 tracks inside of this very large building along with video games, pool tables, a Pit Crew challenge, and a small restaurant. We took a look around at the facility and all the different things that they had to offer and then talked about who wanted to race. Ryan, Dave, Danley, Jackie and myself(Josh) would be racing against each other. We signed up, headed to our driver briefing and got suited up. After stopping and picking out a helmet we were ready to go, so we lined up and waited for our names to be called. As they called us, we filled out to our karts and got strapped in and ready to race. We were off, the Kart travel down the track at a top speed of 45 mph and there are many turns to navigate along the course. My favorite part though was when Ryan bumped me into the wall as he was passing me. It was a lot of fun, and it didn't rally matter who won.........but just for the record, in our group Ryan was the winner. After the race we got back in the car and headed back to where we are staying. Chad offered to buy us dinner, and he ordered pizza for all of us. After dinner Dave and myself drove the girls over to a hotel room and helped them get their bags up to their room. Tomorrow we will be teaching one of our last two seminars. We are hoping that we have the chance to teach this seminar when we get back home as well.
