Vaaarrrrroooooom!

How much fun is the racetrack? The rumble and buzz of the cars zooming past sets the tone and the madness of them jostling for position along a sinuous curve at high speeds is exhilarating! I'm just glad I'm not the one in the car :-D

This past weekend Rich and I went to Sebring, Florida to watch his friend race. We were keeping track of the blue car in the bottom right of the picture. He came in fifth after being bumped on this turn, spinning and then pulling right back onto the track. Way to go Larry!

The ride to and from the track was interesting as well. Sebring is orange and cattle country. We passed row after row of orange trees and acres of land being grazed by cattle. Sunday morning when we drove out early for breakfast the icicles were joining the bottoms of the orange trees with the earth. Abnormally low temperatures were threatening practically every kind of farming in Florida this past weekend. It was pretty though, the way wicked things sometimes are.
