Great Race, The
Vendredi 19 mars 2010|
IMDB rating: 7.00 Plot: Professional daredevil and white-suited hero, The Great Leslie, convinces turn-of-the-century auto makers that a race from New York to Paris (westward across America, the Bering Straight and Russia) will help to promote automobile sales. Leslie’s arch-rival, the mustached and black-attired Professor Fate vows to beat Leslie to the finish line in a car of Fate’s own invention. The Blake Edwards style of slapstick and song originated with this movie. A dedication to Laurel and Hardy appears at the beginning of the film. Edwards’ tribute to Stan and Ollie can be seen most clearly in the interaction between Professor Fate and his cohort Max, as well as in the operatic Pottsdorf pie fight. |

Has anyone done the Texas Driving Experience at Texas Motor Speedway?
I was wondering if anyone has ever done the Texas Driving Experience out at Texas Motor Speedway? It is where the general public can pay to race corvettes and/or have a professional driver drive them around the track. I have purchased this for my husband as a surprise Valentine’s Day gift and scheduled for him to go this Saturday. After I paid the lady over the phone told me she would email some forms for me to fill out, well it is these forms that shocked me and made me very nervous. They were asking for blood type and another was a release saying they weren’t responsible for injuries, kinda scary huh? I was just wondering if anyone has ever done this or known anyone who had done this or something similar, and how much risk is really involved and if it is a safe thing to do. Thanks everyone. Have a great week!!!
These track days are really well handled, and generally safer than the drive up there. For liability reasons they have to inform you that there are indeed risks associated with this sport. Its the same as if you where to go horse back riding. Basically you are assuming responsibility if something where to go wrong. TMS is a great track though. Not as though they are a whole in the wall type.

LUCKY HUSBAND!
I dont even have a valentine, much less such a great wife!
Ive never done an event at this particular track, but I have done several at other road courses, and drag strips. The chance of him getting hurt is VERY VERY VERY low. The fact that they asked about blood type etc just goes to show how much thought they have put into safety. He will have to wear an array of protective gear, an ambulance will be on standby, and many saftey officials will be monitoring the track. Relax, he will be fine, Im sure it will be a wonderful experiance!
