I did the basic driving exp. at Phoenix International Raceway a couple of years ago & had a lot of fun! I would recomend it to anybody interested in "non-strait line" racing.

What limits did they put on you for that track?

Mine was at Chicagoland speedway. --> 1.50 mile - 18.00 degree banking Tri-oval
Our objective was 45.00 lap @ 140mph
My best was 45.21 @ 139.45

I think it was around 130mph, but I don't remember for sure.

My dad works for them when they come to town, he gets to help people into the cars, give some safety instructions, flag, & refuel the cars at the end of the day. A couple of times he has even got to warm up a car on the track before the event.
