I know a lot of you love Nascar but I like this kinda track, and they even run production car races too.

Whoa...what a ride! Check out the shift knob bouncing around as the driveline torque changes. Has anyone tried it in a late model Corvette?

That's a fun track. I got to drive around the old version in the '60s (when they opened it to the public) in a borrowed XK120. If I remember right, you had to be German, but I was a German-speaking GI with a German name and an international driver's license and a FIM racing license (which was in French), so they eventually let me on. No fee, even. Germany had very stringent training requirements on drivers' licenses, and were wary of non-Germans driving.

Smooth drive! ..compared to the steering wheel sawing at Nbergring,... the Viper might have been going a little faster Wink
