Vacation 2010 - Day 8

Saturday July 3

This morning was the first time driving on the wrong side got me trouble. Pulled out of a McD's parking lot, look left and pull up to the stoplight. Opps I'm on the wrong side of the road and I looked the wrong way. Fortunately it was 6:35 so no one was coming. Location Should've been where the silver van is but was was in the other lane.

Same layout as the McLaren F1 but the driver's seat back looks a little too upright for my tastes.

Michael Waltrip and his #1 fans.

Kerry Earnhardt drove the car his dad used to win the 1995 Brickyard race. #1 #3 fan.

The hillclimb is timed but most take the hill climb at a leisurely to brisk pace, due to the value of the cars and the lack of runoff area. Here is an example of one going at a brisk pace.

1973 BMW E9 CSL Batmobile & 1989 BMW E30 M3

Walked up to the rally stage the 1.3 mile walk, with a 310' elevation rise, wore me out. Unfortunately it was my least favorite part of the Goodwood FoS. Stayed for an hour and left I'd seen all was going to see.

After a shower and nap went for a drive.

Mini roundabouts something else for one from the land of stop signs and stoplights to learn. Much nicer then a stop sign, do not remember seeing a stop sign.
