And we have touchdown!

This picture of pro mod driver Chip King at Englishtown reminded me of the space shuttle touching down at Kennedy Space Center

And just a few days after I initially drafted this piece, Haskett Bros. Racing posted similar photo on Facebook, which I just could not deprive you off. The second picture below is of Todd Lesenko driving Jim Dunn's Funny car.




So graceful, yet so dangerous, is the job of both driver and pilot [of the now retired flying brick]. Ok, that might be a stretch but you can't deny the similarity in the pictures.



Thanks for reading.
