Thrill seeker?  Sure, I'll admit to that.  We all go on carnival rides
and such.  This is just a matter of degree.  Insane?  Well maybe.  I
might not be the best judge of that.  But I can tell you that I've
been doing this for 11 years now without a serious injury.  That's a
far better record than I had when racing on two wheels.  It is also a
far better record than some here have had just puttering around on the
street.

 


A little update.  Raced at Loudon last Monday.  Had a new passenger,
as in this was his first race, so I had to take it easy so as not to
toss him off.  Still I had a good starting position so I had some fun
taking the lead into turn 1 before backing off.  As you dan see Loudon
is a lot more work than Mosport was.



The second race I started from the back and don't show up in the
video, but there is more action between the two up front than there
was in the first race.

 



What a nut case!  If dad had a lick of sense he'd put his girlishaped
daughter on the seat and use his heavier upper torso to balance the rig in
corners ....
