That's cool as hell. Details on the event? Did you get to meet the king, or at least see him?

If you don't mind me asking, how much was just the event.

Nah, its a nationwide thing, it just has his name slapped on it.   I beleive it was $450.00 for what we did, the rookie experience.  It was a graduation gift from my dad, the best graduation gift ever, I might add. 

Basically we got here, watched a 20 minute video on what to do, drove around the track in a van learning where to accelerate and brake, then waited our turn for a chance to race the track.  You got behind the instructor and kept 3-5 car lengths behind him the whole time and as long as you kept that distance he kept accelerating.  It was the most amazing experience in my life

Sounds like it wasn't too bad for him either Grin

Was it at Chicagoland speedway (or whatever it's called, sorry for my ignorance)?
