You could get a ride in a 500 hp Corvette with no belts. :cry:

I know in previous years, workers were offered ride-alongs with instructors after the last session of the day in somewhat controlled conditions.

Does "somewhat controlled conditions" mean we can't hang the ass end out and yell woooh yaaaa around every corner ???
I bet the workers would love that ? What did they call it at Disney- an E ticket ride ?

No, Scott, :roll:


It means that someone sort of acts as a pacecar and drives slowly (for himself). Since my car can barely keep up with anyone, it usually only meant that I had to watch my mirrors more because nobody was allowed to pass. I found that 7/10 was about right. Everyone was required to have helmets.

Yelling "Yeeeeeehaaaaa" could not be restricted or all you Mustang and Corvette guys would be grounded in the paddock (still yelling like that).
