Photo of the Day: European ‘Graffiti’

What does the term “graffiti” bring to mind? It’s not always detrimental to a city — in some, it’s considered part of the local arts or culture. Reddit user Twigellow took these shots while traveling between Paris and Belgrade. Do you think they add some charm, or take away from their surroundings?

Photo of the Day: A Weekend at Virginia International Raceway

I’ve been “into cars” since I was a little kid — and recognized my motorsports passion during my time in college. It’s led to a weekend hobby of driving the pace car for the local region of the National Auto Sports Association and participating in driving schools to eventually go racing. This weekend, I was at Virginia International Raceway to do just that — and earned my Time Trials racing license as well.

VIR is located in Alton, Virginia (next to Danville), right on the Virginia/North Carolina state line. The drive to the track is beautiful, full of back roads. You’re surrounded by trees and fields. And the scenery at the track is pretty incredible, too.
