I had a customer walk in wearing a Richard Petty Driving Experience shirt once. I asked him where he got it. He explained he was comp'ed it on his last trip to Vegas and ran that weekend at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
I asked him how he liked it. Was it really as cool as it sounds? Do you really get to go for it? He said it was'nt all that great. I asked him if he rode or drove. He said he drove after taking a 2 hour class on high speed driving and having to listen to all the safety rules.
Were the cars all choked down and limited on power? He said not really, they weren't full race but around 70% power. They had to stay behind a lead car.
Well how fast did they let you get it up to? Did they let you floor it? Could you feel the track? Did you get loose??
He said he really did'nt enjoy it. He did'nt like going fast and the car was really loud.The exhaust was all you could smell. He was hot, sweaty and the suit was itchy. He couldn't wait to get the dang thing off. His fast lap was 90mph.
I wanted to biatchslap him.
