Nice! Nervous at all?
Sweet! my Uncle used to work for Roger Penske, so he had Gold Seat Tickets every year back in the 70's. I've always wanted to go, but never have the cash. Closest track to me is Watkins Glen, a thrill in itself when in a Mustang going 100 down the backstretch.(done it 3 times).
Speaking of which, my Mustang doing about 80 through the Esses at WGI.

I won't presume to speak for Steve, but in a modern performance car, 100 mph is pretty effortless.
It's the parts where you're suddenly supposed to be going way less than 100 mph for a turn where it gets, er, interesting.

I love Watkins Glen. Only been on it on a motorcycle though.Speaking of which, my Mustang doing about 80 through the Esses at WGI. (don't mind the watermark)
Must of been cool and scary at the same time. Was that on a special day? I ask, because they don't normally allow the Bikes anymore.I love Watkins Glen. Only been on it on a motorcycle though.
Dave, it was a case of Newton’s law. There were 349 other cars, and I had to wait for the guy in front of me to give me some distance. Crashing, and therefore breaking, held me back.
12 years ago I got to do the same in my Viper, but they kept us at a speed of around 50mph. At least today I was able to go from around 40 to 100 in mere seconds.
She wanted to drive about 3 feet behind me upon entering the track.

Practicing her drafting?
It was probably 10 years ago now. They made the track available to a motorcycle group for a few days once a year. I haven’t seen it pop up as an option for a while. I joined 60-90 riders, broken up into 3 groups who took turns with 30 minute sessions.Must of been cool and scary at the same time. Was that on a special day?

Cool, I usually go for opening weekend with about a hundred Mustang Owners from across the state. It's a good time and only $25 for 3 "paced" laps.It was probably 10 years ago now.

The barrier out of turn 1 was a bit intimidating the first couple of times making the turn off the front straight at speed, but eventually I registered that it wasn’t anywhere close to my turn markers and just carried on.
It and Barber are my favourite tracks on a bike.
That would be cool and great value.Cool, I usually go for opening weekend with about a hundred Mustang Owners from across the state. It's a good time and only $25 for 3 "paced" laps.
