DRIVERS TRAINING - NASCAR STYLE

I photographed a group of people taking part in the Richard Petty Driving Experience out at Michigan International Speedway today. After some instruction andsafety info the each took a turn driving 8 laps around the MIS track following another car driven by an instructor . The speeds were around 140 mph and the had to stay about 3 car lengths behind the front car, no passing. It sure looked like fun! Lots of smiles and thumbs up! Its something I have always wanted to do. Maybe someday.
