Whats the big deal there? If I am going to be pretty big bucks to drive a NASCAR car, I want the thing to be real. Not a wimped down version. I'll pass until they replace the kiddy cars with the real deal.
Oh, and our Gov., Mike Easley, has crashed 2 cars at Lowes Motor Speedway and a 3rd on city streets!
I agree. 120 in a NASCAR doesn’t seem that different from doing 90 in my truck on a normal day between DC and Baltimore on I-95. If I am paying money I want to go fast; 180 or more fast if possible depending on the track.
When doing the Richard Petty school, how fast you go depends on which level of driving you buy.
For instance, I did the Experience of a Lifetime at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
The goal for that level is to get everyone to a 42 second lap.
They let me do a 41.85, which translates to 149.02 MPH.
A couple of years later, I did one level below Experience of a Lifetime.
I don’t remember my lap time, but I went only 136 and change.
The first time was definitely better. ;o)
As far as he being slumped over the wheel, I bet his head was slumped down.
I don’t think the neck restraint would prevent that.
But, there is no way the rest of his body could move one inch.
