It was worth it. It was a tiny odd little track near the COTA track. I'd have loved to do the ride on the COTA track, but it was setup for the first US GP so not available. I was told that we hit ~150. I was shocked at how the air flowing over helmets caused enough lift for the chin strap to go tight and the helmet to stop pressing on the top of your head. When I'd get in, they'd push down on my shoulders and tell me to slide down as much as possible because my head would block the intake which was for cooling. There was an old guy that showed up, but he had a bit too much girth and was unable to squeeze into the car.
