I only do autocross, and the track day "Drivers Education" and the rules are strict for passing. The car in front has to wave you by on the side they want you to pass. I told my last group I ran with that I was a 100% street car, and I was going to be slow, and I will let you by as soon as the curve is over if it is safe. With a street car on mud and snow rated tires I had no chance of being fast, but damn I had fun.
I had to make another quick round trip up to Tulsa and back in the 911 yesterday. As soon as I finish my coffee I will go clean it up. Another 67 degree morning out there.
This weekend is gonna be busy. We have a group drive to Eischen's for some tasty fried chicken. They are cash only, no credit cards. The oldest bar in Oklahoma from before statehood. During the long period from statehood (November 16, 1907) until April 7, 1959 Oklahoma was technically a dry state, and booze, even beer was illegal. Only when the laws were enforced, and several judges, senators and government officials were arrested at bars did the laws change to allow local option of liquor. It was not until the 1980s that "liquor by the drink" became legal.
Now I can buy good German beer at the gas station, and a lottery ticket. However I have never spent one cent on the lottery. I can go bet at the horse races, and gamble at the casinos. I have only been to the horse track twice, lost my $20 both times. Never been to the casinos.
And the 24 hours of Le Mans starts on Saturday.
