    I am a reporter with Columbia News Service in New York and am working on an article about high performance cars and where people go to drive them. I'm not interested in the "Fast and Furious" adrenaline junkies in their 20s. I will be focusing on middle-aged professionals that have earned enough to buy a Ferrari, Aston Martin, etc... and where they go to let the car run a bit. There have been tons of articles on the legal racing tracks, I am looking for good stories of the other kind: some secluded spot Ferraris owners prefer, crazy traffic stories or a ridiculous speeding ticket. Do you have any great stories or could you recommend someone that does? Unfortunately I am working against a Thursday evening deadline. My e-mail is below.

    How about 18 cars averaging 120-150mph, some 165 thru half of the canyons in Nevada?

    Actually, on 2nd thought, not sure I'd want that published..

    Chris, you're exaggerating. We were doing 165 through only 1/3 of the canyons in Nevada. Tim

    LOL.. I stand corrected.

    Oh and another interesting note, probably 250K in collective damage from rock chips (driving fast thru a small sandstorm..)
