This makes the distance (6 laps x 1.5 miles) be 9 miles (and this is actually a greater distance than I actually drove even with running on the "chip" which supposedly limits the car at 150 mph. Distance: I did somewhere between 4 to 5 laps on the Chicagoland Speedway but lets give them the benefit of the doubt and say I did 6 laps (this will also compensate for when they make you drive slow for the first one or two laps). Speed is defined as: Speed=Distance/Time Lets plug in the data from my "racing" session: Time = 8 minutes (or 0.13 hours). Well lets do the math, and I encourage everyone to do this for themselves whether you have already gone or are going to drive these cars. I guess you might think, "oh well it felt much faster in your street car because it is not a race car and these are actual race cars." Ok, sure. I have driven my own street car (2006 Pontiac GTO with 400 horsepower) at 150 mph on track and know what 150 mph actually feels like and it is nothing even close to the speed you drive these cars on track. These people are lying to your face in person and on paper! They give you a certificate at the end of the drive with your "top speed" which is literally 2 x your actual speed (mine said 155.63 mph). First of all, if you want to drive fast, this is not the place to go! Chances are you will drive your personal car faster on the way to the track than you will the Indy Style car on the track. I would try to keep this as short as possible.
