Think you are hard core? How about this in your back yard?

If anyone saw the American Top Gear epiosode where they were choosing cars for Donald Chump, and they had a section with old women driving a Gallardo, Turbo S cab and a Conti GT driving around a track, you might have been wondering where the track was...well here it is... Daddy! Daddy! I want one!

I actually visited something similar in the 1980s. I lived in Midland, Texas at the time and went to meet Jim Hall (the Chaparral and Indy racing guy) to ask some questions about I guy I was thinking of going to work with. Out in back of the shop was a race track. I think, if I recall correctly, it was called Rattlesnake Raceway. It was just under a mile and pretty snake-like. Of course, they tested cars out there in the hey-day of Chaparral.
It was like a museum in the shop, with several of the Chaparral sports cars in race worthy condition. Jim was very cordial and straight talking about the guy I was considering going to work for. I think I remember reading that either Jim Hall or Hap Sharp had a big "off" at Rattlesnake and needed extensive surgery and recovery to be put back together. It's like, pavement, then cactus and easy to ball up a car with a roll. Of course there was probably no safety equipment, but the drive to the Midland Memorial Hospital was only about ten-miles. Dave

Very Cool! Remember seeing another vid showing this track awhile back.
Guess the true element of surprise would be if someone was leaving the house and you were on a hot lap...... that will test the reflexes |
