Back on my 50th birthday, I told you all I had signed up to drive a NASCAR racecar at Pocono. Well I just got back and it was terrific. I hit about 165MPH (8200 RPM) and all I can say is it was fast, loud, fun, and those cars are glued!

Here's a few shots:

Taking a two lap ride first (notice the car number, how appropriate).

I'll have more photos later from the film camera, hope they turn out!

Sounds like a lot of fun! Glad you got to do it.

Maybe someday I will actually be able to at least attend a NASCAR race in person, and another day to drive one like you did!!

Thanks Teri, yes it was fun. Just being in the garage area, in the pits, and standing on the track across from the grandstand was pretty cool.

Iam very glad I got to do it! [Big Grin]

I did it about 3 years ago at Dover. What a rush that is! [Smile]
