We've realised that there are two important things that you have to do when you stay in Daytona.
Firstly, you must take advantage of the excellent beach that the city has to offer. One of the best things about it is the fact that you are free to drive up and down the beach in a car at a mere cost of $5. We were very tempted take the Mustang to the sands this morning, however we felt there'd be a more fun, if slightly more pricey way of enjoying the sensation of motoring on the beach. We rented a golf cart, and went pootling down the dunes at 10mph, avoiding slightly portly Floridians and their kids.
After this little jaunt, Adam obviously felt some strange compulsion to join these chaps in their portly-ness, and promptly ordered a Chili-Cheese-Dog from a beach vendor. MMMmmmmmmm!
So, after this healthy lunch, we decided to head to the second of the two "must-see" attractions of Daytona - the world-famous International Speedway - home of the Daytona 500. Now, we can't pretend that we know a hell of a lot about NASCAR Racing, or much about any of the drivers save for ex-F1 driver Juan Pablo Montoya - however, that didn't stop us from enjoying the Speedway Tour enormously. It is an unbelievable venue - huge in scale, with great facilities. And the noise from the cars as the zip round the track is quite something. I have to say we may just have to tune in for the Daytona 500 early next year!
So, after a hectic day racing golf carts, and watching other's race NASCAR, Adam thought it best to get some more food (another chili-cheese-dog).... at Hooters!
