Day 21 - Travellers Inn, Datona Beach and thunder

The 21. day was spent in Daytona beach. And with our luck the last days, it was bound to rain and thunder at our day in Daytona. The beach here is loong and wide. They actually have a 10mph speed limit for cars at the beach. But spending time at the beach in rain, thunder and lightning is not very tempting. After an extremely heavy brunch, with "pulled-pork bbq plate", we head out to the Daytona International Speedway and got a tour of the track and the surrounding facilities. They can house over 110 000! race fans on race days. We also got to see the pit stops and "Victory Lane", where the winners of the races pops their champagne. Later on we went to a go cart track located close by. Here they also had a good arcade hall. Erik found a punchingball-machine, measuring your punch and gives you a score from how hard you hit it. When he got the high-score of the day, a lot of people started to get interested in the punchingball-machine. Erik beat that high-score three times that day but had to finally see himself beaten. Go cart was fun, but the carts was really slow and tuned down. I was really close to getting thrown off the track after tempering with the govenor? (forgasser), the thing that makes the cart go faster. The language barrier put me back on track luckily. The day had passed after that, and we had not even seen the beach at Daytona.
