I did the same thing in a stock car at Vegas. 5 laps at speed, one warm up and one cool down. The rabbit car driver responded to the driver behind and as I did as I was told and kept 4 car lengths behind at all times, he took me to 140 on the old track (less banking).

That same year the Cup cars qualified at 165. They run faster now.

As my stepson and I were on the track at the same time, I was lucky to get the slot behind the rabbit. On the last lap the SS drifted back a little. Then came the fun. We talked his mom, my wife, to take a one lap ride along for 99 bucks. The driver went out and nailed it. Last car out that day and a single car run. One lap to get some speed, one hot lap and one to come in.

I could hear the guy as he wound it out on the back straight as there was only one car. I guessed by the sound that he was teasing 160. She got the ride of the day. At 140 things got a little blurry. As Patrick said, it was bumpy.
