Just passed one car who had a 1/2 lap lead on me when I left the pits. The next car in line was a "Ride along" car with a pro driver. I almost got within a 1/2 a straight away from them! It was an awesome time! Have to thank my wonderful wife and kids for the BEST Father's Day present EVER!
Looks like a blast! I did a driving experience a couple of weeks ago at Gingerman Raceway here in Michigan. Got to drive a F430, and a R8 for three laps each. What a hoot! I did the pace car ride to get acclimated to the track, a bone stock V6 Mustang. Gotta say the first lap was like is this guy going to kill me?!!! But I loved it! Jeff
My wife got me 3 laps driving at Pocono for my 50th birthday "recently"....I wish I could pay for anybody that thinks NASCAR is a bunch of guys "going around in circles" to do this. I'm a long time NASCAR fan and I found new respect for these guys after rdoing it. Geoshanna, what kind of speeds do you get at Loudon?
My last 3 laps we the best of the 8. After I got around the slower car. Speeds in the corners were 70 - 80 mph, and I was told that based on my "average" lap speeds that at the time I was getting out of the throttle at the end of the straight speeds would be 150 - 155 mph!
I also have a new respect for those drivers! I've been a season ticket holder at Loudon for over 20 years, 2 races/year. My arms were so tired after only 8 laps! I couldn't imaging doing 301 laps at Loudon!
