The photo here is taken passing the last turn before the straight away in front of the grand stands. I get the feeling that nobody in the know is supposed be bragging about speed, especially after my instructor gave me the safety lecture after I asked how fast I could go. I'm going to brag anyway because it was cool to me. Over 120mph in that straight away. Looking back on the experience I can see why I was scolded about that question. While passing other cars, concrete barriers, cresting blind hills and balancing the car at high speed I noticed that one mistake would probably kill me, my instructor and probably any other car close enough.
I left happy. I won't be doing any competitive racing like this, but I'll do this class again from time to time.
