Pocono Racetrack is about 75 minutes from me and I complain when I have to tow there. :jester:

Here in NJ, if it's more than 20 minutes drive, it's "far away". :laugh:

My daily commute is farther than that! If you really want a thrill - drive across Texas in the summertime, in a Spitfire with no air conditioning!

Or you could just try self flagellation instead. :wall:

Want to try sitting in Chicago traffic in 97+ temps in a MkI Mini (the one with the sliding windows) AND no A/C? :smile:

I imagine it's easier to drive across Texas in the summertime than it is to drive under it?? :wink: LOL

LOL! The Spitfire isn't the issue. I have driven across Texas in the summer. If you haven't driven east/west across Texas you really cannot appreciate how BIG that state really is. The dry heat in a convertible is akin to being in a skillet. The sun and the hot, dry, air passing over you at speed wick all the moisture right out of you. Humidity and its heat index can be very hot too, but you don't turn into beef jerky. Depending upon which side of the state you start in, you will experience both the dry heat and the humid heat. Unless you don't consider Louisiana or Arkansas humid.
 
I know a guy who drove thru Texas.He stopped to get gas,& as
he started to leave was told "You forgot someth'n".They gave him
a six-pack of beer (Lone Star?),& he was on his way.
Now could that ever happen anywhere but Texas?
