Some Atlas friends invited me to their land yacht races just outside of Las Vegas. I had never heard of these things before and figured it would be a great opportunity for pictures. I loved it! These folks are Crazy! I went for a ride on a double-seater; you sit just inches off the ground, hitting speeds in excess of 50MPH. It's just nuts. The feeling is, if we wreck, nobody is walking out of here! After a few passes, I was done, Much more comfortable taking pictures...
