Drivers came back to the paddock area with new information: "Did you know that cruise control works at 130mph?" one asked. Or that simply rolling the all windows up was good for an additional six mph on the banking. Brake and tire smoke filled the air.

ah the good old days when you could rent the track for $25 for the whole day. Only a few of your closest friends & the track. No ambulance, no corner workers, just a "have fun & be careful" from management."

One of the best pieces he's ever posted.
