Some pics from a special trackday

In Sweden we have a foundation called "Min stora dag", directly translated it means "My big day".
It´s a foundation to grant wishes to critically ill children (3-18yrs) who are suffering from life-threatening diseases. To make these kids and their families have som fun and maybe just for a little while not only think of the bad things they go through everyday.

This time, the kids that were intrested where going to get a ride of their life in a lambo, Porsche or ferrari or any other of the sportcars that had registered, on a dragstrip and on a closed track. :)
There where about 80 kids who showed up with there familys and you could really see that they enjoyed the day very much! Lots of happy faces! Every family got one car that they would begin the day with and go for a ride at the dragstrip. I got a very nice young man called Joel and we hung out all day and we tortured my GT3 around the track all day! This was a great day for me and hopefully for all the kids that where there.

My phone broke down a couple of days ago so i only have a shitty old ericsson but here are some crappy pics.

here we are hiding behind the arena and all the kids are waiting for the cars to come out.

Good for you for sharing the car passion with those kids!

that's awesome! I hope these kids (and you) had a great time!

Awesome cause, love the smile on the kids faces! Is this an annual thing?

Great turnout, wish the weather was better.

Great event, must have been tough track conditions in that wet! Hopefully all had a great time!

nice turnout and gesture!! cheers

Looks like you had a great time! :)

Rep owed. It's great to hear about the members that are to share their joy with those less fortunate and I'm sure Joel will never forget that day.

That is such a great idea. I thought something like this up a few months ago, glad I wasn't the only one. Maybe one day I'll be able to do something like that.

I'd bet the kids had a blast! Good work, man.

Great writeup, rep to you for helping with this event!

It actually dried up completely later on. But it was "interesting" doing the quartermile on a damp dragstrip with Rcompound tires. :)
