Marlboro Hot Laps
So, I had the opportunity of a lifetime today. Myself and a guest got to ride shotgun in a Marlboro racecar at Dover International Speedway. It had to be the coolest damn thing I've ever done in my 32 years on this Earth. Going around the "Monster Mile" at speeds of 160+ MPH. These cars can do a mile in roughly 30 seconds. Not to mention all the cool gifts and great food that was given to us free of charge. Sometimes it pays to be a smoker.

Very cool! I had an ambulance up to 110 at Pocono raceway about 15 yrs ago.

Re: Marlboro Hot Laps
That's awesome philly. I'm guessing the only thing topping that would have to be driving one.

Re: Marlboro Hot Laps
I did this last summer at Beaverun Motorspeedway in Beaver County. We were on a road course, and obviously different cars. Topped out at about 135 MPH, but have a new appreciation for anyone that races on a road course. Three laps and the G forces had me aching. We also got to do some "drifting" with some pro drifters from around the US in Mustang GTs. They also fed us quite well. And the best part is, I don't even smoke.
