I couldn't wait....
Now that you mention it....
In 2003 for our Honeymoon Amy & me went to Disney World.Once we got there she surprised me with an 8 lap session with the Petty driving school at Orlando Speedway. After all the class talk we got into the cars ( I had the Tony Stewart Home Depot car....) and the first thing I noticed was how low the seat was and how high and pulled back the shifter was. Once they tighten those harness you are SECURED to the point that it almost hurts.
But yeah...that shifter was *right there* and it had to be.
Now way you could reach anything further away that the lenght of your out stretched arm.
Once we were there, my Wife decided she wanted to go for a ride.
So she went for the 3 lap ride-along with a school instructor.
They made me follow an instructer to keep me at a *reasonable* speed (my fastest lap was the last at 123 MPH. I've gone faster on the Long Island Expressway....)
My wife on the other hand enjoyed 150MPH laps.
She came out of that car grinning from ear to ear.
Sorry for the self-indulgence, but it brought back some great memories. It was the best vacation we've done so far.
