He probably went to Team Texas. I used to be an instructor and mechanic out there and it is interesting.... letting someone you don't know drive you around the track at 120-150mph can be slightly terrifying at times. I left in 2002 when the Nascar Bubble Popped.

Glad you enjoyed it, I bet there will be some deals this winter.

My brother and i recently did that a year ago for a job bonus thing. It was extremely fun, i watch the video now and then pretty crazy. Sucks they have a limiter on it for 150 mph only and you have to roll start in second gear :\ Other then that it was a blast. I like how the person you pass HAS to slow for you great hand signals. Here is two pics from when i went.



(shitty ish picture) I'm sure they took one like this of you correct?



(My brother and I waiting our turn's we didn't get to race together though :\ )
