I'm officially jealous and would probably kill myself if I had access daily to that.

There is a small local road course now if you guys ever want to carve some corners. It's called The Central Florida Road Course and it's just getting started. I was invited to try it last Sunday and while it is very tight it's still fun. You would need to go through a $150 school and then 1/2 days are $75. A half day is all you need as it's brutal on the tires and brakes.

I shot some video last Sunday. It's always fun to watch a 15 year old f-body beat up on stuff it shouldn't be able to hang with.

Session 2

Session 3

Pretty damn cool! Only thing that would make it better would be like a 1/8 or 1/4 mile strip being part of it.

i think the trees on the left side of the road are a bit close to that hair-pin turn.

would suck to spin out.

but it sure looks fun.


i was expecting a driveway lined with cars....or a drag strip with a light tree just outside the garage...with run room after a set of traps.

No this is much better than a strait line my friend....do you not see the road leading to his driveway? Perfectly straight!
