I would like to come since I am planning on all kinds of trips this fall, but I am getting a Lightning Shootout together for the 18th, so I couldn't make it.


Sorry,
Justin

Unless you put a harness in you will be limited to either the 105 or 110 highest you can go.NOW if you install a harness then 130mph with a tech speed of 140.Which is fast if you consider you will have to average the 130 for the ENTIRE course.
If you are a rookie then they will also require you to do a driving school.which is not the same as Skip barber or those types.Since there they teach you how to use the entire track,At these they teach you how to survive if you take the turn wrong.as of now I am up in the air on goings since I am to race a cobra at the run and gun shoot out.but if I hope I get to go there because it is always a good time.
