[Fot] Driving to the track in the race car

[David W. Riddle]

One of the guys out here in Arizona will use the Department of Motor 
Vehicle website to obtain a temporary license tag for his race 
prepared Porsche 911 on race weekends.  The tag is good for three 
days (weekends and Holidays don't count toward the expiration time!) 
and costs $1.00.

Tapes the permit that he prints out to his rear window and off he 
heads to the track.
