A day out with the car
So I'm not sure how many people know about this. Me and the girlfriend where driving in the Finger Lakes of NY and stopped by Watkins Glen road course. They have Thunder Road Tours where they take a group around the track for 3 laps it's only 25 bucks.
Here is what they tell you.
1) stay behind the pace car
2) please no passing
3) the top speed is around 55 mph
4) headlights and seat belts on
5) must be 18 to be the driver
And here is what I have to say about it.
1) they go faster than 55mph so get there early and try to stage up behind the pace car
2) they take on track photos of your car one on each lap.
3) take a video camera and have a passenger record it
4) they stop at the end of the 2nd lap to get out an take pics at the start line
We had such a blast doing this and I recommend for anyone that loves cars and driving them
