"What kind of brakes do you have on this thing?"

"Just regular corvette brakes."

"ARE YOU FOR REAL?!"




Very cool of you to let him tag along.
So how many times did he say "it doesn't look this fast from the sidelines".

Haha. that was awesome I took my mother's friend's son for some hot laps at VIR back in '04 at Viper Days. He was a 17 year old import kid who had his kitted civic w/ fart pipe. He was of the opinion that all American cars were heavy and couln't handle.

Sliding through Hog's Pen around 100 cured his ignorance quickly. He told me it was more fun than any roller coaster he'd ever been on.

5-6 years ago I took GF for a ride at Pocono long course. We hit 165 on the back straight before the body kit. We came to the Devil's elbow which is 180* harpin. The main road continues straight so it is blocked off with cones. She didn't know we were turning direction in a hurry:lol: . She later told me she was screaming CONES CONES! She thought I didn't see them. When we made the corner her head went out the window and it took her a while to get it back in. I was oblivious to all her screaming. Then power steering fluid was going on the headers and smoke was coming in the cockpit and she was screaming fire:lol: She never used the helmet she bought after that ride.:crazy: I never heard a word:*****:

he's another I am the victim. Go on plane ride ( acrobatic plane )! He hands me a chute 30 second lesson on How to bailout! Takeoff things are fine. He even let's me play with the super sensitive stick Things are great no fear Diving and pulling out at the last minute, continuous rolls, flying over the beach upside down at low altitude, and loops doing near 200 mph downward. Never felt my face seem like it was peeling off before.

He said how do you feel I said ""! As we are going back I I duct tape my mouth with my hands only. Just about to land and I enter HURL CITY 6-7 times. Being stubborn I do not let anything pass my lips. I take it back every time Get out of plane and then hit the ground but it not coming up any more. Never even spit.

Fast forward one week next friend goes up not so lucky he turns it all lose 8 or ten hours to clean the inside of the plane Glad I'm stubborn.

Went to instruct once and felt not so good not having a wheel in my hand. That was the end for me.

We had a highspeed autocross on 411Speedway in Knoxville. I heard a passenger say, "Right about the time I would have the brakes, you shifted into 2nd."
