once in a lifetime experience!

Recommended Posts

well on sunday (6/3/12) i did the nascar experience smile.png was a shit ton of fun i will say. my grandmother bought me, my stepdad and cousin all a the same thing for our birthdays. i got to drive a nascar and a indy car... it was TIGHT lol. my top speed was 153mph in the nas car and 149 in the indy car. of course the car had a rev limited at 5k so the car would only go so fast. i had to take a 1 hour class before driving each car for safty reason but it was worth it haha. WE WERE THE ONLY ONES IN THE CAR. NO PEOPLE TELLING US WHAT TO DO ( except through the mic)... here are a few pics and a short video or two....

Im surprised they let you go that fast for your first time in the car. They must of forgot to limit you. When I did this same thing, I had to settle for the nascar becuase my big ass wouldnt fit in the indy car. My top speed was 145

This wasn't on a track, but I am going to refrain from stating where :P

I drive an ML63 AMG. My avatar has eclipsed that as well....but that wasn't my point. I've done a bunch of work on Nascar engines and those things don't make jack shit for power until higher in the RPM band. Not saying that doesn't sound like a shit ton of fun and that I am not jealous, just saying that what you experienced was a racecar suspension and a pedestrian like motor. Of course any racer will tell you, the suspension setup is the key.
