Default Talladega days way off topic!!!

For those of us with a need for speed. I went to Talladega Super Speedway yesterday. The Dale Jarret Racing Experience is the business. They put you on the track with an instructor in the car. 170+mph They use retired race cars with no rev limiters. You can go as fast as your ability lets you. The instructor uses hand signals to tell you what to do. He watches you and tells you what to do. If you are hitting the corners correctly, he gives you the speed up sign til you top out at your personal level. I got a top speed of 175 with an average speed of 162. 59sec. to go 2.66mi. That is smokin'!!! The track seems big til you get up to speed. Then it gets a lot shorter. Hard to imagine 43 cars out there all bunched up. If you haven't done it, start saving up. It is the most fun you can have with your clothes on.
