Not 57 related but very cool. T-dega opened the track to run 5 laps for $50 behind a pace truck with the proceeds going to the Red Cross for the tornado victims. We did get up to 115.
Really cool.
Running that high banked track gives a new appreciation for the skill level of those guys! I did two years of SCCA B production in 71 & 72, had a ball, was very good but never had the opportunity to do the big track thing. Got the ol juices flowing again :003: and that worries me......
I agree with the skill appreciation, my friend invited me to Elkhart Lake Wisconsin last summer for a ride along. This is the famous Road America road course. He is an instructor for SCCA, he gets track time in exchange for his driving instruction. The early session I rode in his 09 shelby, very cool, 165 mph plus on the main straight. In the afternoon session I rode in a Zo6 vette, fully road race prepped, 410 dart engine, big ol tires and wheels, man what an experience. I used to get bored easily watching a road race, its unreal how hard they flog these cars. Mark
