They Can't Drive 55!

These beauties were just a few that participated in the Tarheel BMW Club of America's recent High Performance Driving School at the Virginia International Raceway (VIR) near Danville, VA.

The Raceway is listed as one of the top 6 in the nation and demands tolerance, patience and speed for ultimate driving performance. 

Although the temperature was in the double digits for this event which took place the last weekend in June (actual track temperature was gauged at 140 degrees),  everyone particpating appeared to be calm . . . cool . . . collected.

VIR offers diverse events throughout the year.  Be sure to check out its web site for more information!

One Way Stairway


This relic of a stairway draped in a cascade of red flowers is a colorful indicator for those with southbound destinations in the little town of Morganton, NC.  This is the side entrance to a local photographer's studio housed in an old movie theater.  Architectural accents on the building are visually engaging and the Carolina blue sky offers a lovely backdrop for what would otherwise be an ordinary set of stairs.
