As a little boy, I saw Formula 1 racing as the BEST! It was about driving skill and world wide too.
It was not that NASCAR pushing and shoving while driving in circles…
Well, I always wanted to at least just once drive racing fast in an open wheel race car. 2015, Oct. I got that chance. I bought myself 2 drives of 8 minute each.
When the driver’s was held, the instructor said that the cars would only do 150mph in a single or double drive. You would have to buy a 3rd drive to go faster as the governor would set. He hear my groan and and I said I had the dream of doing at least 150mph. He quickly added that if you drove really good you could get to 153mph, but you had to be right on the sweet spot the whole time.
Well, the first 8 minutes I let myself feel into the car, what and where that sweet spot was at.
The 2nd 8 minutes I let it all hang out, it was the ‘QUALIFYING RUN!”
So you might imagine my surprise when I pick up my computer printed certificate and it said I did 160.50mph….
Yeah, I could have had fun being a real race car driver….
Enjoy this video of those 2 runs & the certificate shown at the end!
