Petty driving experience
Did the richard petty drivind experience at chicago speedway yesterday.Man was it cool, if you have 400 laying around believe me go try it. Really makes you respect what those drivers have to deal with.Placed 4th out of 30 people with a 139.5 fastest lap. Think i would of won but he waved me off on the last lap because i was on his ***, they don't like it when you get to close.Oh well a great time if you get the chance GO FOR IT.

Did a 'school' at MIS and it was fun as hell, no timing but they said the cars where gov' at 148 mph, I was able to hit the groove 1 lap and had it floored the whole lap, awesome coming out of the turn full throttle.
