airtwardo 7 #3 August 14, 2005 I did that in Ca. years ago..FANTASTIC time! Only one thing to tell ya...BE AGGRESSIVE! Most people that do those things aren't use to making fast decisions and having quick reflexes like are needed in skydiving... ...You'll KICK ASS! ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure the analogy of "I'm the pilot of my canopy..I fly it, it doesn't fly me" would apply with race cars tooI wonder how fast I'll go before I get skeered..how fast did you go? I know I'll feel better being in the drivers seat than being the passenger. I'm not so comfortable being the passenger. _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

airtwardo 7 #7 August 14, 2005 What did it feel like? *** Not really FAST...you have control. But like after a great jump...all I wanted to do was GO AGAIN! ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Woo Hoo! ...can't wait I just read that there are 3 programs to choose from and I'm thinking the King Experience would be the best one to go with since it'll take atleast 4 laps to get used to the car. Rookie Experience - Drive one of the race cars for 8 laps around the one-mile tri-oval. Class includes classroom introduction, track orientation, and safety instruction. Class lasts approximately 1.5 to 2 hrs. You must be at least 18 years old and have a valid driver's license to drive. Classes are daily at 8am & 2pm. Reservations are needed. The King Experience: This course is offered in one eight-lap session and one 10-lap session. You will experience the roaring speeds of 125-130mph and feel like Royalty. Class includes classroom introduction, track orientation, and safety instruction. You must be at least 18 years old and have a valid driver's license to drive. Classes begin at 11am daily. Reservations are needed. Experience of a Lifetime - 30-lap program that is run in three 10-lap sessions. Work on establishing a comfortable driving line and building speed. Length of class and time varies according to class size. You must be at least 18 years old and have a valid driver's license to drive. Classes begin at 11am daily. Reservations are needed. The other thing I noticed is that you have to sign a Waiver. I'm used to that of course, but my brother may be a little uncomfortable with it. _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

airtwardo 7 #11 August 15, 2005 3 programs to choose from *** That's WAY cooler than when I did it... We got 2 six lap 'tries' to be Richard Petty, which is why I said be aggressive... Some people were takin' it real easy for much to long and didn't have as MUCH fun as those of us that said..
