    Bucket List

    Just sharing for all the car guys on the forum, my wonderful wife got me the IndyCar ride along experience at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. 2 laps at 180mph...I feel the need, the need for speed! Should happen sometime next Spring; training starts tomorrow, lol!

    Have fun, Merry Christmas! I bought myself the Ferrari experience coming up in the spring. Ferrari F430.

    Probably have to sign a waiver, like you do with ziplining. Ferrari yes, 3rd world zip lining no thanks.

    Sounds like fun!

    Not something we can pull of with our little Mirages!

    I'll be selling laps around the mall in my mirage. Pm me for pricing and availability. Act fast slots are filling up fast.

    I say return that and use the money so you can drive:

    The Mid-Ohio School

    There is Nothing Else like taking the laps yourself, and you'll be glad to have spent the money so you can drive rather than ride along. Be sure to rent a track car - and get their insurance too haha.

    I recommend the 3-day High Performance Course

    Just be advised - racing is both addictive and expensive.

    Our local mall has this at Christmastime, but its usually a miniature train pulling kids around. The Mirage probably has better turning radius...

    Maybe next year! I'm pumped about zipping around the same track as Meyer, Unser, Rayhal, Rickenbacker, et al. Wife said they were selling ride with Mario Andretti, but it was 4 grand. Uh, no thank you. That's a bit obscene, imo. He's just a man, and already a wealthy one!
