…that you become a NASCAR driver.
But I did!
Eight laps around the Charlotte Motor Raceway. Average speed of 137 MPH. Fastest lap of 148 MPH. I can still hear the fans screaming as I come out of turn 4. The announcer says, “He’s taking the inside line and passing Jeff Gordon and the fans go crazy.” Well that last part I made up. I feared I would stall that big honking machine at the start line but that didn’t happen. On the last lap I push the gas pedal to the floor trying to overtake the car in front of me and finish 1st. I wasn’t quite fast enough and finished second.
Being the good sport I am I went over to 1st place finisher and congratulate him. Holy molly the first place finisher was:
My wife!
Oh Danny Boy!

My husband had a go at this, in Florida a few years back. He thought it was an amazing experience too and I know he’d love to try it again 🙂

Must have been at the Homestead track? It was on my bucket list items.

It was at the Disney track, is that the same? Excuse my ignorance, we were on holiday from the UK. It was only a small track, a mile or 3/4 mile I can’t recall, but he loved it all the same. His top speed was 122 mph and his certificate is proudly framed for all to see 🙂

I’m not sure if it is the same track. I too have my certificate framed.
