I got to drive a NASCAR myself, a year or so ago - won a prize in Top Gear magazine to drive a few laps of Rockingham (and have lunch with Tiff Needell).
Well, I can't say it wasn't a thrill, because it was, it's by far the most powerful vehicle I've ever driven, and the fastest I've ever been, let alone driven (apart from flying). Nevertheless, 140mph (I had to follow an instructor in another car to limit my speed :( ) around an oval track, not even feeling much in the way of G-forces on the open, banked corners, was not nearly the rush of taking my Spitfire round the tight, twisty, hilly circuit of Cadwell Park where I doubt I topped 70mph! Still, that huge V8 engine certainly sounded good!!
