OT: Drove a Nascar car sunday!!
It was a birthday gift from my wife.....10 laps around Dover!
Very cool!!! I have a new respect for those guys that drive those cars at top speeds for 3-3 1/2 hours! I took the ride first with a pro driver......what a rush! I highly recommend that first before taking the wheel yourself. Gives you a better feel for the track and what line to run. Now I'm ready for Daytona!!!!! |
Re: OT: Drove a Nascar car sunday!!
Great! I never done but my friends have and it sounds excellent. Hard to steer?

Re: OT: Drove a Nascar car sunday!!
I've done 30 laps at disney twice;
30 laps at Daytona 161 mph worth every penny it cost. Gets your heart pumin big time. Easy to steer. L.S. |
Re: OT: Drove a Nascar car sunday!!
sounds to me like you have a great wife! Happy Birthday!!!

Re: OT: Drove a Nascar car sunday!!
Yeah, Bonnie she's the best!
The car was not hard to steer, and I found myself accelerating hard coming out of turns 2 and 4 and catching-up to the pace car. The car grips the track really well, it's amazing for a 3400 Lb. car. Coming slow down pit road it sounds like a bucket of bolts though! Maybe I broke something :) It's a must-do for anyone who has the need for speed. Great g-forces in the turns. |
Re: OT: Drove a Nascar car sunday!!
yeah - i've done it as well -- very very fun
but i will say -- 10 laps is not enough -- i was just getting good and warmed up by the 10th lap if you can afford it -- do the 50 lap deal -- it takes all day -- and if you show control -- they'll put you out there and let you run with other cars!!! i only got up to 150 - that was at CMS -- what a RUSH!!! |

My wife took me to Pocono International Raceway for my "spin". The only thing that worried me was , the force on those tires in the corners and all I could think was "don't blow out". It did kinda take the thrill out of exit ramps @ 65 in my Vette :(

I took 60 laps at Texas motor speedway over 2 days. I was exhausted each night. Amazing how much of a workout driving can be

Re: OT: Drove a Nascar car sunday!!
I did the 10 lapper with my dad at Chicagoland Motor Speedway...before it was even open. It was a colder spring day and my nose was running and I wouldn't take my hands off the wheel to wipe it! Man what a rush.
