Cool!!! Did they let you open it up for a couple of laps?

[vibedrivermatt]

Whoa Sa.. weeet!! so what kind of speeds where you guys hitting? that looks like so much fun. ^ditto keithvibe on pocono, I live near enough to there to go if they allowed this type of thing.

Speed was "limited" to 75mph... The very end of the vid there, when i'm out of sight (but not sound) I knocked on 125-130

Great video!I've been around the Indy 500 track in various ways. 1963 in a track tour bus; 1968 marching band; 1987, 1988, and 2004 in a passenger car. And Daytona in 1983, clockwise ('backwards') in a track tour bus. While cars (not race cars) were tire-testing. In the opposite direction.In 1987 & 88, at Indy it was the Mayor's Breakfast and opening day. You only got about 3/4 of a lap on the track, and the faster vehicles were passing cars in the backstretch. I managed to hit an indicated 085 (top indicated speed of that era speedometers, if you recall!). I still remember the sound of a Porsche 930 Turbo blowing past as soon as we got on the track.05-26-04 was in the Vibe (Thread --> http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=10428 )In 2004 (Community Day) they made it clear there was NO PASSING, and limited our speed to 30 or 40 with track safety vehicles in the turns:It's still fun to drive on any race track in your personal vehicle, at speed or not.
