Le Mans, the grueling round-the-clock car race.

Our hard hitting reporter (HHR) is back to interview Debbie and Larry on their  recent Le Mans race from Oslo to Vossestrand.  It was  a 7 hour motor race across Norway.

HHR: How did prepare for the race?

Larry:  Well, I channeled Michael Schulmacher and ran the race in my head.  I dreamed about making the tight turns and wore a racing cap when I drove.

Debbie: I studied the instructions and entered the navigation information in three systems so we would have backup.  I packed the cooler but had no ice.  (The last place that we stayed had no freezer.  How is that possible?)  I felt tremendous pressure if we let the cold stuff melt.  I did not wear a racing cap and had bad dreams about the race.

HHR:  Do you have any special race day superstitions?

Larry:  Well, I gave away our unused metro tickets to a young man on the street.  (Debbie says that he will be shocked when it flashes up Senior ticket and he is carried off to jail for fraud.)

Debbie:  I ask for patience and good will during the drive.  I also wore my lucky socks that Lindsey gave me.

HHR:  How was the first part of the drive?

Larry:   A major route is comprised of what seems like never ending switchbacks swaying from left to right, left to right and on and on along with round abouts.   I learned that their speed limit is matched to the entrance and exit of each curve.   The curves were in a series of 2 to 4 curves.  I loved the way the car flung about from side to side.  I just wished it wasn’t a station wagon.

HHR:  Debbie what was your role in the first part?

Debbie:  Well, I tried to keep the three GPS systems in sync and respond quickly to shouted instructions.  I did spend several moments hiding in the bottom of the car.  I am thankful that the car was a station wagon. I did not love the way that the car flung about.

HHR:  Did you make any stops?

Debbie:  I was able to get Larry to stop by mentioning street tires.  We pulled over at my favorite, Circle K, and I had another hot dog for lunch.  We were also able to purchase a cold pack for the cooler that could double as a cold pack for me when I felt faint.  Then we began the 2nd part or our trip.

Larry:  The second part included tunnels.  The tunnels were several kilometers long.  The tunnels are narrow with speeds that feels very fast with no shoulders often passing buses and 18 wheeler.  I was totally focused in the tunnels.  No drinking, changing the radio station, or texting in the tunnels.

HHR:  Debbie, how did you feel about the tunnels?

Debbie: Well, I had a tight grip on the door handle and my eyes shut as tightly as possible.  You know people say that “Hate” is a strong word but sometimes it just fits the situation.  I was also alarmed by the sheep on the road when we shot out of the tunnels.  Despite the pictures, we did not hit any of them.

HHR:  How did the race end?

Debbie:  We had some issues finding the finish line (house).    It was with surprise, that we found that the house is in the back of an Esso station.  What a fitting finish line.  (You can’t make this stuff up).

HHR:  How did you like the winner’s house?

Debbie:  The house is strangely built.  It is somewhat square with light switches in different rooms from the lights.  We carry around flashlights so we don’t get lost.  I have managed to hose down the bathroom a couple of times with the shower head.  We stopped taking pictures after a while.  There are 3 bathrooms, 4 bedrooms, 2 family areas, and two dining tables.  Plenty of room for a victory party.

HHR:  After the check-in, Larry and Debbie drove to the next town, Voss to the grocery store.  Debbie drove back saying inappropriate words at all the round-abouts well if she is honest all the way back.
