Had such a brilliant day today i feel the need to share. I went to the Mario Andretti Racing Experience at the Atlanta Motor Speedway. What a rush. Only had five minutes in the car open wheel car but it was one of the best five minutes of my life. No pace car, and no speed limit (other than your own courage and the limit of the car). Did a lap time of 147.2mph. What a great day. If you ever get the chance to do this, do it. It was a blast.

Cooooool!  What engine was in that baby, Mark?
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Not absolutely sure. They are a V8 with an auto box, restricted to 5000 rpm. Loud, and fun. Mario's Race Cars

My uncle did the Richard Petty experience at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway for his 60th birthday and came away with similar feelings...
