A few years back the Ferrari club had rented the track where i was in charge of Safety. My little one wanted to come along so he sat in timing and scoring and was catered around the track by a number of Friends. At the end of the day a very wealthy man that owns a fleet of Ferraris had his Enzo out. As we entered the paddock he was about to put it in for the day. I had my youngest with me and asked if he could get in while he parked the car. The driver obliged, moving his helmet and put my 8 year old in the passenger seat, all you could see was the top of his blond head. Instead of pulling into the garage he took a spirited run through paddock area. Over the sound of the Enzo we could all hear my youngest laughing. Everybody though it was hilarious. So they pulled in and he didn't want to get out. So the driver pulls his car out again and made a lap on the course. To this day I get comments from folks that were there and watched at how ecstatic my son was, but more so I still hear from that driver about how he enjoyed taking him out and my son's reaction.....So you guys out there with means to afford such cars, wanna make a kids day? Take them for a ride, you can't imagine what it does to little boys., So now he's 15 and still talks about that, and his career goal, An Radiologist, so he can buy his first Ferrari. Good stuff!
