Sunday night while working at JGSR I had the opportunity to take a “champ ride”.� I rode with one of the instructors in his car after we were done with all of our clients.� The first thing I told him when we were done was that I think he was speeding on pit road.� He took off so fast out of the pit and as you near the track all you see is the track banking up and the big white wall!!� I was a little nervous, but he just whipped that car up on the track and we were on our way.� Lap speeds at Lowe’s are about 170 miles per hour (that’s for trained professionals).� It was really fun!� It was hard for me to stay focused just sitting in the seat; I can’t imagine right now how it is driving!!� Most people who do the driving experience comment that they can’t imagine doing that for 400 laps.� They are usually exhausted after 8 laps.�
