Couple years back my inlaws bought me one of those day long training events at a small track in Spokane. They were "only" 450hp cars, and it was only a short half mile track, but damn, it was tough just for the several 25 lap runs we did. You do the work stearing on the straights - almost have to turn it towards the wall to get it to go straight, then its a coast/partial throttle through the turn and it almost turn on its own. By the afternoon 50 lap run, it was about 90 degrees out, and by lap 40, I was beat. Finished up there, went back to the trailer, showered, then ran over to the drag strip and ran my truck in the diesel drags. Ran a best of 13.10- but I broke out on that run, and put the final nail in the stock tranny on that run too...but it held together just enough for me to pull my trailer back home the next day.
