Daytona trip - Day 2

On day 2 we stayed in the Orlando area, and had a full day. Robin rode along in a
race car at the "Richard Petty driving experience" at Walt Disney World Speedway (she is a longtime Richard Petty fan). Pretty cool, she went 145 MPH on the oval track!







Next we took an airboat ride on Lake Tohopekaliga (Boggy Creek Airboat Rides). We saw 3 gators, a bald eagle, and several other kinds of birds. The airboat was cool, powered by a big block Chevy motor that is mounted high right behind the fan. Amazing where they can take that boat, at one point we were riding on weeds and mud, with almost no water beneath the boat.




Finally, we took in a show at the 'Dolly Parton Dixie Stampede'. It's a horse show/dinner theatre, with lots of trick riding and a "North versus the South" theme.
