I went to the Mohegan Sun NASCAR race at Lime Rock yesterday. Skip Barber Racing School had a deal where you could ride in a staged race. They had four cars that were Mazda Speed (Mazda Speed 3?). These cars were 4-seater and I had the front passenger seat. They ran a pace lap, with pace car, 4 laps at race speed and a cool down lap. The cars all stayed pretty close together, pretty much 1/4 to 1/2 car length apart. On corners they braked hard and tried to dive in under the guy in front. Tires screaming on all the corners. The track has curbs/rumble strips on the edges of the curves and I think my driver hit every one of them. He went off the track into the grass a couple times.
I have a short youtube clip from the main stretch where me and my brother each went for a ride. This is the first time I've uploaded anything to youtube, so I hope it works.
I also have a couple pictures. There's a short downhill with a sharp curve at the far end of the main stretch. In the first picture you can see where one of the cars went a little wide and off the track. In the second you can see some of the passing action.
