Default Petty driving experience

Did the richard petty drivind experience at chicago speedway yesterday.Man was it cool, if you have 400 laying around believe me go try it. Really makes you respect what those drivers have to deal with.Placed 4th out of 30 people with a 139.5 fastest lap. Think i would of won but he waved me off on the last lap because i was on his ass, they don't like it when you get to close.Oh well a great time if you get the chance GO FOR IT.

I just got one of these sessions as a gift, now you have psyched me up to go use it. Sounds like fun!

Did it in Vegas about 7 years ago - great time. I think they had us up to about 146 if memory serves.

Did a 'school' at MIS and it was fun as hell, no timing but they said the cars where gov' at 148 mph, I was able to hit the groove 1 lap and had it floored the whole lap, awesome coming out of the turn full throttle.

I did it at MIS too. At 140+ you just want to go faster. It's amazing how those cars are built for speed.
