OK so I didnt sleep at all last night because I was too excited about actually riding in a Viper. Yes I own one, but I have never been a passenger in one, let alone one thats racing.
Ron (SoCal) picks me up at like 6am and we head out. We arrive and I meet RyanO, John Dearing, and an RT owner named Bernard. The drivers have their meeting and Im called by Ron to get in and buckle up. I thought I was going to get a lap. John had me in his car for 30 mins . We hit 155mph on the front side of the oval and I think its a mile long. The guy NEVER let off. INTENSE, I cant explain what a rush this was.
We LAPPED Ryan and I gave him a nice one finger salute :thumb: . John has a stock 02 and he had better times than anyone except some TT 300HP 1200 pound race car (1:51 vs 1:42), he beat all the non TT versions of the same thing. BTW Smoke there was an Ultima there.
THANK YOU Ron, John, Ryan and everyone else that was there. Definitely a great bunch of guys.
I heard through the grapevine that you were going out with John Dearing first session today, and I almost warned you to bring a change of clothes, but I figured that would be no fun. [img]/images/graemlins/laughing.gif[/img]
Allen, you're a natural roadracer [img]/images/graemlins/toothy[/img] you didn't puke or faint when you went for your ride, and you were money as part of the "pitcrew". A good time had by all
Yeah, the pukers get quite an experience - especially if they're wearing a full-face helmet (which in my car, is a requirement - I can't have noobs getting puke on my interior - keep it in your helmet).

The first time I ever went out was with Joe B and I had the typical first timer response. During the warm up lap I was saying out loud "This isnt so bad". When the tires heated up and we went balls out I was screaming like a little girl. [img]/images/graemlins/laughing.gif[/img]
I swear one more lap and I would have hurled all over the place. The checkered flag was a gift from GOD. :thumb:
Uhhh, you guys are kidding about the puking thing right?
Eddie, my experience was the opposite. During the warm up lap I was thinking what have I gotten myself into. Then it was all cool, until midway through when I realized... I dont know how to undo the 5 points. [img]/images/graemlins/shocked[/img]
Nothing like the feeling of 155mph as you pass traffic with a wall RIGHT next to your face
We LAPPED Ryan and I gave him a nice one finger salute :thumb: .
