I've got the coolest wife ever......this is what she gave me for my 40th birthday. Spent last Saturday morning at the Las Vegas Speedway.

The track looks big until you get in the car and get it up to speed, then it feels more like the track at the local high school. Best lap time was 1.5 mile @ 47 seconds/130 mph. Their cars are set up pretty tight and want to push in the corners at that speed, but I had a great time and look forward to another opportunity for more track time (faster laps)......only bad part about it was that it was over too soon.

I bucked up for a ride-along for Natalie to show her my appreciation, she got to ride with a pro driver at race speeds for 3 laps.

You're 40?


I thought Jeremy was old.








Did it come with a complimentary pace maker?

I did the Petty School at Walt Disney World Speedway about 5 years ago.

I was upset becuase I thought I only hit about 80 mph. Turns out I was around 125. It felt like 80 does in a street car though.

I was surprised how quiet it was in the car. I actually heard gravel and debris hitting off the undercarriage and the rocker panels.

Too much fun!

I want to do the one at Bristol next.

Lucky bastard. I hinted at that to my parents the last two years, and not very subtly either. They gave me cash intead and told me it was so that I could buy everything to shape my own surfboard, so I have to work for my birthday present.

Happy Birthday!! You're over the hill

Crap, I wouldn't fit in the suit, let alone the car. I gotta go on a diet.

Congratulations. Too cool.

Nice gift, I think we're pretty much all jealous. I have to echo 'Dreamin' though, you'd have to lube my naked body with margarine just to slide me into that car. Forget the suit. That one would just never happen...

You could tie me to the roof. That would be fun. I wonder what I'd do to the aerodynamics :gag:

Looks like a blast! It's just too bad that you had to drive the 48 car...

Do you think your speed may have improved with a more appropriate accent and a mullet?
