Tiger Woods was busy on the weekend. He was in New Zealand with his buddy / caddie for a few days, during which he went bungee jumping from an incredible height... and then participated in a car race at a dirt track. Which he won. (From TSN)

And in another story... ohhhhhh, to be rich..... sigh.
Here's a story about Michael Waltrip and his sponsors.
Life in the fast lane (from MSN.com)
An executive who serves 32 years at a company deserves some special commendation. But $890,000 worth of professional race-car driving instruction for his kids?
That’s how much furniture-rental chain Aaron Rents paid last year for driving instruction for two sons of William Butler Jr.
He is a director and president of sales and lease ownership at Aaron Rents. Based in Atlanta, Ga., the company sponsors professional race-car driver Michael Waltrip in the NASCAR Busch Series.
As part of the deal, Waltrip runs a "driver development program." The program has just two students -- Butler sons William Kenneth Butler III and Brett Cameron Butler.
... Brett Butler places 28th in USAR’s Southern Div'n of the Hooters Series, while Ken ranks 32nd in the Northern Div'n. There's still hope for the Butler brothers, though, as they will get close to $1 million worth of training this year, paid for by Aaron Rents.
