15 laps on my own
 
Totally awesome can't think of a nicer gift for a car guy. I got to do a Richard Petty driving expeience a long time ago. It was a blast. Have fun my friend.
 
Pretty damn cool!!
I've autocrossed a lot years ago and have turned a few laps on short tracks. I've been wrenching on an outlaw winged Sprinter for over 20 years. Never turned a lap in it, since I can't fit my 36 inch inseam legs into the tight cockpit.
Running at a large enough track and high enough speeds that aero has an effect on grip has to be a whole different ball game.
Enjoy!

I used to race at Lime Rock and Watkins Glen (till they took my track cert away cuz of headaches)

This will be a completely DIFFERENT type of driving

They say that "speeds in excess of 170/mph"

Mebbe the headaches lead to the mental instability....................
