This could work! I went to Motosports 2000 in Pennsylvainia sponsered by
National
Parts Peddler and a number of NASCAR tracks had programs like this. Rides
varied from
5 laps as a passenger to a 5 day intensive training course.
10 laps driving a NASCAR truck at Dover Downs was $360.00. I brought home every
brochure, entered every free drawing for a drive, but didn't win a thing. Guess
the
Lord doesn't want me to lose my focus on that D/GMR record
