New Day #270

I admit it, I'm a heavy-footed driver. On a visit to eastern Oregon I gunned it to over 100 mph.

But speeding along an open highway did not prepare me for taking the curves at 80 mph at Portland International Raceway in a souped-up BMW, courtesy of my neighbor (and occasional loaner husband) David. Seriously, I was queasy for hours.

Maybe that's because I was holding a camera. We're doing about 120 here.



BTW, did you know the word "racecar" backwards is "racecar?" Kind of like going round and round on the track.

Go Speed Racer.

Stud! That's about 25 MPH faster than I've ever gone. I did go around PIR once - actually 50 times - but it was on a bicycle back in the 70's. I averaged about 20 MPH on that.

No thank you.
