I want to be cremated.  But I have specific instructions for my ashes.

I have been a pilot since my parents gave me my first flying lesson for my 18th birthday (and proceeded to pay for most of my flying for the next several years!!) and I have been racing cars (legal sanctioned racing, none of that illegal street, Fast and the Furious stuff) for the past 10 years or so.

My instructions are as follows...after cremation, my ashes will be divided in half.  One half will be carried aloft in a 1942 Boeing Stearman (my favorite airplane to fly) and scattered from 5000 feet.  The other half will be carried on to a race track (Virginia International Raceway would be nice) and scattered while the car is going around a corner...then I want that corner renamed











wait for it

If there's anything recyclable in this body, I want it used. Then I want to be a crispy critter and I want my ashes spread in the Franklin Mountains. No viewing, no way and whatever service my family thinks they need.
