    Indy Racing Experience

    I wonder what laps this guy was turning in his Indy Racing Experience?

    I also gives you an idea at how huge The Indianapolis Motor Speedway is when you drive laps slowly.

    If you time it, he lapped at 120 seconds or 75 mph. Sorry, but I wouldn't pay $500 to go 75 mph around the brickyard. Way too slow.

    I would, provided I had $500 to spend on it. 75 is still pretty fast for us highway drivers and you're getting to drive an IndyCar, which is still pretty damn awesome.

    I wanted to do the Indy Car experience, but they don't make cars for big guys (picture an offensive lineman). I opted for a stock car short track experience at IRP...probably topped out at 80-85 mph, but the tire stagger and set up of those cars made it feel like your ass is coming out of the seat at the apex of the turns. Still, a cool experience for 149.00. Next time, I'm going to try Kentucky or Atlanta.

    I had heard they were in the process of making a car for bigger folks.
