Good!
I read that entire thing and all I can think was
"who cares about a race track?" with pro drivers. On the street/highway or 1/4 mile track is where it counts.

Unless your dumb enough to drive a race car(i.e. ACR viper),
(not zr1 or the other car whatever it is.....not important enough to remember)
as a DD for status.

This guy had 133 miles on his ACR. And 2 Budweisers in the car: 1 opened and 1 unopened. You wouldn't believe the stupidity of some people. But yeah he said he'd heard of the twin turbo Z06 that was running around but never found it... looks like he found it!
