Posted by Rods & Customs by Leon  -  11/17/2007 01:55 AM Thats to cool!!!I've been wanting to do that...What kind of speeds Rods & Customs by Leon [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Highlands, Texas Charter Member since May 2004   Posted by 37tin  -  11/17/2007 09:01 AM Too cool for sure. I say do it .I did 6 laps, they set it at 145 mph for your first time out , I found a comfort zone at 143.31 mph it seems. feels like 250, If your doing it right they will increase the speed for you,next is 160 and so on. any questions please ask . I think a ride first ,you would be more prepared rather than hitting the laoud pedal and trying to get in groove 37tin [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] langley, Canada   Posted by 1carguy  -  11/17/2007 05:12 PM The Las Vegas speedway facility is awesome. They've got a track for every type of motorsports. I was there about 3 years ago and did the Richard Petty Driving Experience. I drove the Tony Stewart Home Depot #20 car 18 laps at speeds nearing 150mph. Driving a Nascar was coolest thing I've ever done....wish I could do it again. I'll bet the Indy cars at those speeds is even more of a rush! 1carguy [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Pleasanton, California   Posted by fortyniner3100  -  11/19/2007 07:53 AM I ran a Rusty Walace car at M.I.S.
