I still can picture the line of cars in front of me going over the next hill
for miles, the semi on your back bumper, but then you had the same thing
coming at you. There was a stretch called the Ky turnpike for about 60 miles
that was always a relief to see. Getting lost in Louisville, fighting your
way through Indy, looking for a place to eat that looked safe, fog in the
hills, and it always rained for half the trip. Made that trip twice a year
for 16 years with 2 kids in the back seat and once in a while the
mother-in-law. We did get the chance to go over to the next town and attend
an Elvis home coming in .62, who knew he would get that big? Great times, we
didn`t know any better. ;-]]

Title: Race the Runway event success
Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2009 08:53:16 +0000
Author: Apollo
 Although it was a closed event and not open to public access, the BBC reports that the Race the Runway event we highlighted recently was a success, with 48 participants each paying £250 for the opportunity to race their supercars along the secondary runway at Edinburgh Airport, with invited guests bringing in a further £50 a head. Cars such as Lamborghinis, Porsches, Ferraris, Aston Martins and others were brought to the event, during which the airport continued to operate as normal.
Proceeds from the day will go to St Columba’s Hospice in Edinburgh and the Prince and Princess of Wales Hospice in Glasgow.
Together with the runway activity, the day also provided an opportunity for the drivers to undertake a fire simulation exercise, and visit air traffic control.
It will certainly have made a change from the usual sort of track day that takes place on normal race tracks such as Knockhill, as I’m led to believe (since modern, active, commercial airport runways are one place I haven’t managed to get onto) that by comparison with such tracks, runways can be much smoother. One thing is certain, as anyone who’s been round Knockhill will vouch for, they’re certainly flatter!
