For those who think motorsports have no soul

And a little chuckle for those who understand

Photo from last weekend - the Daewoo had 8 different drivers! Yes, that's a "real" (VT Park) road, 100% legal, access controlled. You can never drive like this on the street.......

Our wrecker dude tows for the City... Ballast might help the cornering, but the course is about a 12 % grade - driver weight is an influence for the Daewoo Challenge

The story I heard:

We're doin' 85 or 90 in this little shitbox, and it's rainin' so friggin' hard you can only see a car length. But I guess that's OK, 'cuz we're only half a length behind the car in front of us.
