Go Grandma

A fine 100 year old got her wish -- to drive on the big oval

Question -- did she have her blinker on

The bigger question, did she manage to exceed 35 MPH?

Expanded story says she got up over 50, but it "...felt like 100...".

More power to her.

Was she in the left lane? Could she see over the steering wheel?

Impressive.....

I got to make a few laps around texas motor speedway in my RX7. 100 MPH felt slow to me......

As for seeing over the steering wheel, the pic above would appear to show that she could *barely* see over it......
