Was out west earlier this year visiting buddy Matt. 'Split the scene' for a few few days for a solitary excursion to California (stay tuned). Got back to Vegas late at night in the waning days of the trip - "Hey, we're headin' out to Las Vegas Speedway tomorrow - rented a few (modern) HiPo cars to race around the track - bring your camera- drive one too - if ya want" says Matt. Went to this place -
Exotic Cars (http://www.exoticsracing.com/) - where you can rent and race around the track (for a few bucks) mostly European style cars - anything from a Mercedes to an Aston Martin. Right away (in my '
mind') - I picture some little French guy with a pencil moustache zippin' around the streets in a little 1970's - era Triumph Spitfire - jaunty driving cap - steering gloves - slowing down to oogle the pedestrian babes...
Wow - I learned another lesson...
...the big guy (lookin' real good) and a McLaren MP4....
....on the track.....next....Lamborghini Gallardo.....
....these cars crank!!!! Not real familiar with the mechanics, however - I'm an old chevy dragracer. Pretty cool place - and they boast an almost 1/4 mile straight shot on the track, ta' boot, so you can wind them out.
