I worked the boat show at Richmond Intl Raceway last week. Wuddya know, they left the gates to track open! Couldn’t resist!
Took my Solara for about 10 laps, had to quit when I smelled the brakes. Could only hit about 90 in the straights, but almost hitting the turn 2 wall slowed me down!
This was a blast, but made me respect the cars and drivers much more.
1 shot on the track, and one in victory lane.
Now that sounds like fun. Bump those photos sizes up so we can see em. The photos is smaller than the thumb.
My antique 1978 BMW. I guess that makes me an antique too, since I bought this thing spankin’ new. We’re both a little worse for wear and milage, have had a few spills, gone camping across the country, and even had a really exciting head-on collision once that we both lived to tell about. Of course, she was totalled by the insurance company, but I brought her back to life without too much trouble.

Is that about a mid 80s VW Cabriolet behind the bimmer . . I had a ‘84 VW GTI, loved it until some drunk destroyed it in Center City Philly

Yes sgc, it’s a 1985 Cabriolet, Wolfsburg edition, with leather and extra guages. I got a lot more use out of it with the top down cruising the hills in the SF Bay area than I do here in Missouri where it seems like it’s usually too hot or too cold to have the top down. Now it serves mostly as a backup ride and a PU substitute for stuff that won’t fit into a 4-door. It’s amazing what you can tote in a convertible with the top down.

Very cool . . my brother had two Cabriolets , spent some time flyin’ around NE PA years ago. . my GTI was great, nothing handled like it, especially with a set of P600 pirellis, man I am miserable now thinking back 7+ years . . oh well I’ll get back into some toys once the kids are older
Finally! I’ve always wondered what EarthHarvesters avatar was… always reminded me of one of the worms of the movie Dune with the colors a bit off. Seeing what it is it’s hard to look the other way now :)
:D
