It's amazing how narrow a three lane highway gets when you are going 100+ mph
or so I have been told! ;)
Talking about closed courses my wife gave me a Petty Driving Experience for my
50th B-Day. It was at NH International Raceway. This is a one mile what they
refer to as a flat oval but the corners looked pretty banked to me from the
drivers seat. Anyway, my best lap speed was 121.45mph (Nextel Cup Qualifing
record is ~132 mph) and I was toping 150 mph on the straights. This has to be
one the best E-ticket rides a gear head could have.
