Since it's so Cold out
« on: February 18, 2007, 04:43:09 AM »
I found myself remembering a warm afternoon I spent a number of years ago at the Targa Florio in Sicily.

In the first pic what you see in the distance are cars along the track as it climbs the mountain.
The track was 40 some miles around I think--this was the highest point. It also ran along the
coast. Last run in '73--no one paid admission and occasionally some one would leave the track
at a precipitous location.
