Had to look that one up.
That one too.
I've never been to VIR, but my personal favorite that I have been to is Barber. It's one continuous flow of track, almost like every corner is linked to the previous one. There's not much time for resting there, but it's very smooth in the same respect.
I wasn't aware you had been riding for so long. That's pretty cool. Squids suck.
Lisa, the transition from dirt to street really isn't that hard. Some of the quickest motorcycle racers in the world grew up racing on the dirt, so you might just have an advantage.

I thought you guys and gals would get a kick out of this. Awhile back, I brought my truck in for a complimentary oil change, and since I neded to work that day I rented the only available truck, this one. I loaded up about 150 2''x2''x3' deck pickets, (about 200lbs) and within about 2 hours the rear end starting screaching and grinding. Keep in mind this truck had less than 500 miles on it, so brand new. Really long story short, they called me after inspection and said that I must have overloaded the axle, as it was damaged severely. Dont worry, I never paid them for any of that, or the rental once I got done with the manager. Thought you would enjoy the pic. The lower pic is off the back deck of a customer of mine, thought it was a cool picture in the morning.

What a pretty red color, looks nice getting towed behind that towtruck!
The bottom picture is really sweet, I love places like that in the outdoors! Couldnt imagine that being my backyard!

Lisa, thank you very much. I shot you one back.
Sheldon- It looked awesome being towed away. It had to be towed like 45 miles, so lots of people got to see it.
The lower picture is what most of my area looks like, and we have seen a couple of bears go through in the daytime. Still trying to catch a picture of that. We have cougars and such but their pretty elusive. Usually when you think there is a cougar around I'm busy going for the Glock, not the camera. Their really sneaky, and there has been problems with them in the past.

'87 Regal T-Type, I also own an '87 GNX but it's a racecar (I wish I never cut it up). Avatar is our 'Sunday' car.
Leaving church for brunch (hey, we were lined up side by side at a red light that feeds open interstate, you would've done it!) I was racing my wife in her Excursion and my son took photos...
That's me coming around her, real fricken hard!
