cool video, thanks for sharing. I think you should add some background music though.

Nice! They offer something similar at Atlanta Motor Speedway but with only a C300, I haven't really checked into it...maybe I can borrow someone's C63 for a weekend??

essentially we all got together to do a drive...unbenounced to us we got to go into the bunker (underground storage for the non-exhibit cars) at the indianapolis motor speedway.

one of my friends that i went to high school with is related to the hulman-george family and got us on the track...obviously we did our lap as seen in the video, but the two of us dropped back and waited at the end of turn three into turn 4...the last time i looked down at the speedometer was @ the apex of the turn and i was at 120 - i'm assuming that when i backed off and started downshifting i was near 140...

regardless of whether or not it was a flying lap still doesnt trump the fact that this was a dream come true for me and was the experience of a lifetime.

and best of all, the only cost i incurred was the cost of fuel!

more of us need to get together and do stuff like this...was soooooo much fun AND got to meet some great members.

I actually still have the brochure from a few years back. The website has several driving schools listed but I don't seeing anything about the track experience events. Maybe a phone call and a few bucks can still get you out there without the full blown driving school experience.
