Then, things got serious. The Mitty weekend involves a lot of driving. First, qualifying. Then, racing. It doesn’t matter what you’re driving. When the flag drops, it’s on.
Put two cars on a track and they are going to try to go faster than one another. It doesn’t always go well.
As credentialed media, you get to walk around outside the track walls in places no one really goes. It’s obvious from the detritus strewn about that Road Atlanta is a track that will eat your car if you make a mistake. It doesn’t even have to be a big one.
Gotta say, the race starts definitely made for some excitement. Foreground left is a yellow/black Group 3 1975 Ford Escort RS. The pilot was driving the wheels off that thing all day. The race was no exception.
“Rubbin’ is racin’”.
