Track day

Miles and I went to the track in Fernley, NV, near Reno. I drove his Toyota MR2 with a 2.2 liter fuel injected mid-position inline four. He used our exploder with a 4.0 v-6 to tow his Caterham. I stayed in a 2 star casino for 34.99, but it was fine.

There were only 9 of us racing, and 2 were beginners. I didn't do too badly. My favorite part was dropping into second for turn eight, skidding the tail around, and regaining control like Lightning McQueen.

Good old spicy chicken sandwich

Wow. That does look fun. That makes the go karts at Trafalga look pretty whimpy. How fast do those babies go? I watched Ewen McGregor on Leno last night and he did pretty good around a track in an electric Ford. But Dr. Phil did beat his time, so maybe he wasn't all that fast. :-)
