Well thought i might share,
Today is the day that i suit up! and go for a 6 lap race in a V8 Race car. My Wonderfull girlfriend purchased this event for me for my birthday and i cant wait to go. of course i will be choosing a ford as my car. the race track is at eastern creek. i must say, as i have never been in a v8 nor driven one it will be a completely new experience for me. i would be lying if i said i wasnt nervous. The package i got includes, 6 laps of unlimited speeds around eastern creak, a video of my day, some merchandise and photos of the event. Once i get the video i will see if i can post it up. Anywho. off i go.

given you havnt responded, we could possibly assume one of two things, a) you are too excited to post, as you have ditched the focus, and ended up purchasing a 5.0 S/C V8?

Ah, thanks for the invite! No just joking. I assume it's with the good people from The V8 Race Experience? If so, I hope you got "Nitro". That's the one that I got a ride in recently.
Nerves are good but you'll get the hang of it no doubt. Remember HAVE FUN!!

depends on the instructor i suppose. my guy was happy for me to take it to 200. but another friend of mine said that the instructor told him to back off at about 190....from what i experienced they are happy for you to give it some stick as long as you stay within your limits.

the ride was a bit awkward - the seating position i was in made the helmet press against the roll cage so it made me drive with my head sideways the whole way.
