Race with "Rusty"
 

The wife treated me to a few laps @ Stafford Speeday!!:sCh_oscar2:

So I spent the day at the track and got to drive 10 laps as fast as I could around the track...

Man I suck:uralosersmiley: - Felt like I was way to late on the gas out of corners..... And a Race Car setup is far different than a street car...

Ohh and I was the lone idiot who went to total wrong way to pit lane drove over the grass, and even heard my "Spotter" call me an stupid as$hole and idiot over the radio.. (although well deserved):mariosmile2:

All in all a pretty neat experience to get the feel of a "Stock Car"

I asked and they run the basic GM Crate "Stock Car" Motors, but they do have wicked camber setups where the car basically turns itself left....:sign0165:

That's awesome, what were you driving?

They provide the cars.... But the are your typical "Stock Car" - Chassis and Cage with basic internals & Sheet Metal bodies. 420 BHP Motors / 530 Gears & 1:1 Transmission gearing in 3rd (Only Gear needed for such a short track).

That sounds like fun! Mind if I ask how much it costs?

Race with Rusty

It starts ~$250 or so but then they add $60 "Insurance" (In case you hit the wall adn trash the car your limited to $1,000 in damage), and you can buy an in-car video of your laps, and other such upgrades (added laps/Plaque Picture of you getting in the car all suited up, etc..)

The wife found a groupon for 1/2 off so I think she paid ~$150 and then it cost me another $100 or so between insurance and video.....

It's not the cheapest fun but it isn't too bad considering all you do is show up, a quick lesson on how the car is setup and the very basics of how to drive it, then they put in a car, a belt you in and off you go.... :tard: They even provide fire suits, helmets and a Hans Device.

That's a great price Eric. I wouldn't be surprised if the LimeRock package was 5 times more.

Would love to do that.

if you want to run in an actual race, it doesn't cost much more.

for around $500 rent-a-racecar will rent you a racecar for a friday night at stafford where you actually compete in a nascar event.
