I just got back from driving my first banked oval
today.  I thought it wouldn't be quite as much fun as
it actually was.  I did have a very hard time
adjusting to the new vehicle.  I am used to driving
karts, and my FWD autox rabbit, but this was really
different.

I drove a pro challenge truck (kinda like a legends
car, but with a truck body on it.)  It was really
quick.  I never thought I'd say it, but it was almost
too fast.  Going down the back stretch, it was running
about 103 mph and I got tunnel vision.  It was really
weird.  It looked to me like star wars or
something...everything going by way faster than it
should.  Then I spun, and broke the darn
starter...game over.

Has anyone else ever had that happen?  I think I could
handle it if I got a chance to practice a little more,
but it was really intimidating to have the walls right
there at all times.
