For my 50th birthday, my dear wife purchased for me a surprise gift to drive at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. You get to drive 2 laps on the track alone, and 3 laps in a 2-seater with an Indy race car driver. My Driver was well known driver Davey Hamilton. Mario Andretti was the other driver. You were allowed to drive alone (behind a chase car) at 130mph, and the 2-seater got up to 180mph. While doing my 2 laps alone, it started raining and I had to come back the next day and do the whole thing all over. The wifey took these photos while laughing the entire time.

You are a lucky man to have such a wonderful wife, John. And for her to record your experience is a plus!
I would love to do that in a Nascar car.
