My indy car experience [pics/vids]

[Vogz]

Went to IMS last week to drive and ride in an indy car. It was pretty fucking cool. They are like big go carts. The car I actually drove was neutered to shit. They only give you about half throttle in 5th gear, so with the pedal to the floor the whole way around the track you can only hit 120-130mph. I guess it's cool to say I drove an indy car around IMS.

The two seater is where it's at. You ride with a Pro up to 180mph and pull 3+ Gs in the turns.

Here's some pics/video. I highly recommend the experience for anyone thinking about it who lives close to indy.

I have it, but I'm waiting for one more part from nissan. We should definitely cruise soon. Sunday and Monday nights are typically the best for me.
