RE: Clueless people, one day I was going through security at the airport and a culinary student was in line with his roll up bag of knifes. He was shocked they wouldn't let him carry them on the plane.  |
My experience with an F1 driver that has an investment manager in town, is the World Driver Champion comes out to the rental track and drives karts every time he is in the U.S. on business.
I suppose it isn't so much the thrill of the speed for some but instead being in control of a job well done.
