    Well, after the initial buzz wore off, I personally think racing here would
    be quite boring, running the same oval track over & over.

    I like this virtual ride because it really gives you a real idea how fast
    they run.(just watch how fast the road goes by under the car)

    And ignore the wall? No Thanks!

    Watching the ground is the neat part about riding a motorcycle.

    LAst year, Ralph and I went to Indy over Easter and on Sunday visted the Muesum and took the bus tour around the track. Not quite the same has taking it at 200+mph, but still a neat thing to do. And only $3!

    When you are driving a car that fast, they really talk about, is it being about vision. I don't know how well it works on a video, but see if you can change your focus to look down the track and where the car is headed. It really makes the car slow down, compared to if you watching the fence where the car is at. It works when you are dicing on the higway too.
