Garage
It was on the track at Charlotte Super speedway. They told us in the driver's meeting, that after the infield curvy parts, to get onto the banking to be sure to get up there with both right tires at once, then both left tires, the get going. So I ran to redline in 2nd, third, 4th and put it in 5th as the track straightens out for the back straight. My instructor said in a clear voice, "whatever you do, do NOT hit the brakes in the back curve" but my attachments were not large enough to stay hard on the gas so I did lift the throttle in the curve going triple digits.

I glanced at the tachometer, and it was 5,300 RPM or so, the wind noise was tremendous and the engine was screaming.


Full tilt, guessing about 135 or so.


In the pit garage, about to roll out for a session.
