Thought I would share an awesome experience I had on Black Friday. Every year, the Charlotte Motor Speedway has a Year End Blow Out Sale on Black Friday. If you spend $50 in NASCAR merchandise or donate $25 to the CMS children's charity, they allow you to drive your personal vehicle on the track for 3 laps. It was cool! I will definitely be going back again next year. Check out the videos and pics.

Oh, and don't mind the camaro's that pass me on the first turn. This was my first time on the track and the turns are very steep. They take a while to get used to. I was probably going 40 mph when they passed me. I was concentrating more on not drifting to the bottom of the track on the turn rather than my speed.

Very cool.
I know a guy did that in his mini van with his wife driving, which I thought was kinda lame.
After watching your video, I just have to do it now.

That looked pretty cool. Have to keep that in mind this year. Were you limited to a certain speed? It seemed you were very conservative with the speed.

Yeah, it was pretty cool. I'll definitely go again this year.

I believe the track speed limit is like 75 but no one was obeying that. The only real rule is that you can't pass the pace car.

That sucks. I wanna race. Is there a way to do it where they don't limit the speed of your personal auto?
I guess I should check the website for this sorta info. Thanks
