Looks like some seriously fun seat time. I had a similar eye opening experience a few years ago. I did a few sprint car schools back in the midwest when I lived there. Once I got over the intimidation factor of the power of those things, it was a wild ride. It certainly made everything else I had previously driven feel mild in comparison.
Glad you had the opportunity to drive that thing. Post some pictures if you have them.

Isn't that about what time you run in the 'vette?!?

I know it's an entirely different animal, but that doesn't seem that fast...
