In need of therapy

My wife (who did the Skippy 3-day school with me several years ago, so she has some sports car background) has morphed into a total NASCAR fan.  While I have not been to a race -- she's going to Texas this weekend, I'm going to Lime Rock the following -- she says it's better live than on TV, especially if you understand what is happening.  I suspect that will not apply to a three year old, except there will be lots of noise, bright colors, and things going fast, which may hold his interest for a least a little while.  It's kind of a "carnival" atmosphere (in more ways than one), and I think they make a point of trying to keep it "family friendly," so they can try to appeal to the next generation of potential fans.

As to Dover vs. Pocono, the "expert" tells me Dover is a better choice, by a small margin.  As we who have driven Pocono already know, the facilities there leave a lot to be desired.

Good luck.
