On a more recent ride in a Race Car. I took a ride on Saturday in a Ford Fusion.
Now this may not seem to much of an event.
But considering it was the Dale Jarrett Nascar Exp.
It was a little different than a street car.
600 hp of course becasue of the mandatory restrictor plates(damn things) we went a little slower
Only around 178 MPH.
Whew I want to do it again already.
Going to Kentucky Speedway Before Long to Drive one Myself.
May have to wait till after the Heart Thingie, but I am intending to do this.
May wait for Talladega to do it again.
Ole Gator that took my picture at the Track of me sqeezing my Lard Arse into the Car said it is the best track for a Rookie.
Who is he calling a Rookie, well he is right.
Turns out his Dad used to work at Y-12 in Oak Ridge and he (GATOR) was born in Oliver Springs Tennessee.
SMALL World ain't it.
He tried to stump me wiht a Trivia Question.
He Asked" Who drove a AMC Studebaker in the Modern Era to a win."
I had already told him my Dad used to work in the pits for a lot of the guys now retired form racing , he was referring to the AMC Matador that Bobby Allison fielded for one season and won a race or two , my Dad gassed that car in the pits so I had his question answered in a flash and he was flabergasted , he said no one ever answered that question rght.
He did not know he was asking the man who knew the man when he was the man.
