The third innovative way to have high school graduation was to rent out the Daytona International Speedway and have all 300 or so graduates drive around the track with their families in the car or truck with them and announce their name as they drove by the podium. They announced their names as they crossed the finish line with a checkered flag waving.
Of course, with so many cars and trucks that look alike, if was easy for your graduate to speed by before you had a chance to get a look on your computer, especially since the camera wasn't aimed at the finish line. With some 300 or so graduates, it took two hours for them all to speed by. There wasn't even time for speakers. I'm sure it was fun for the graduates to drive on the speedway, but we thought they could have planned better how to use the camera.

We think this was David's big black truck below
but it sped by so fast on the screen we weren't sure.
At least we got a picture of him.
When they announced his name, a grey truck was speeding by.
At least we got to enjoy the two and a half hours in the comfort of our home office.
Go David, go!
