Our first full day in Tooele was all about cars. That morning, Jon's dad took him over to a mechanic he knows, and they installed a hydrogen bottle on our car. This is an amazing little contraption - we got amazing gas mileage on the way back to vegas - 502 miles to our tank! We did not have to stop once for gas! But we'll elaborate on that more later. We're still working out a few kinks before we let all our friends and family know about it. But let me tell you, if you are looking to save money in this $4.00/gallon gas world, this is a tool to help! Back to the trip - on Wednesday evening, Jon, his dad, his brother (Lonny), and his step brother (Trevor) went out to Miller Motorsports Park and did a little go-kart racing. It was hilarious to watch these guys! They were serious about it too - helmets, neck braces, gloves, the whole shibang! They got up to 50 mph, drifting around hairpin turns, forcing each other off the track, and laughing the whole time. Lonny and Nolan only did 10 laps, but Jon and Trevor couldn't get enough and did 30. If I had let the purse strings loose, I think they would have done 30 more! So, for any of you that live in the Salt Lake Valley area, on Wednesday nights after 5:00, you can go out there and do 5 laps for $5 (normally it's $55 for 30 minutes, and 30 laps took us an hour and a half!). STEAL!
The boys, getting instructions before they take matters into their own hands...

The boys, happy, sore, having fun!
Jocey wanted in on the action too!
