I miss Tantalus. Drag your butt up to Thunderbolt or down to the VIR!

Tantalus is free. 5 miles up. 5 miles down. 10 miles of tilt-a-whirl. But not a track and with extra risk. Too bad we don't have a decent track. But then, we never did anyway.

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori. Good people drink good beer. Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.
It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level. Everything else is just fluff.

Drag your butt up to Thunderbolt or down to the VIR! Kind of hard to rationalize the cost of track days here in the states after having access to the partially subsidized tracks (many are considered state parks) from Europe. Not quite as exciting as some of the rides, but here's a little taste of last Sunday's jaunt.

And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.
Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

I can't wait to get to Germany...should be moving there in late 2014! But I'll still take advantage of as many track days as I can when I get to DC next summer.

Only if you bring donuts. Or beer. Better yet, bring donuts AND beer.
