Nothing like it, huh? I got some laps on LVMS before it opened in '96 in one of my LT1 Caprice plain cars. Coming out of turn 3 at less than 110 seems like you're doing 50. My bigger thrill was that same year at the Brickyard 400. Ralph Englestad LVMS owner sent me, my Sgt and an officer to the 400 for a week "to get a feel for traffic control at a major racing event". We had pit and garage passes and got to flog one of the Camaro pacecars around the track several times. Race day we were in the control tower for the whole day.
