Everyone,
You guys should really consider participating in one of these WordCarz events. I've had the pleasure of attending two of these events at the Kershaw track in SC as a spectator/drooler and had a blast both times. This event allows you to drive your car at fantastic speeds in a much (MUCH) safer environment than you're gonna find elsewhere: plenty of run-off room, no oncoming traffic, no cops, no kids throwing frisbees in the street... you get the idea.
I'm aware that wheel-to-wheel racing does not appeal to most of you, because of the risks involved. No problem. The WorldCarz events allow you to run against nobody but the clock if you wish, with passing allowed in only certain areas, and only after being waved around by the slower driver. Where else are you gonna push the limits of your car? On the street? On the entrance ramp? On some 2-lane surrounded by pines on the outskirts of town? C'mon, guys.
Steve and Shayla run the event and I believe they do it pretty much for the fun of it. Lord knows they aren't making much money from it. They are super-friendly folks and are truly a pleasure to deal with.
If you don't feel comfortable running your car, then just show up and watch. Spectators simply pay $10 for the entire day and sign a waiver (or two waivers if you wanna ride with someone). That's right, you can even take a spin as a passenger in someone else's car, provided you (and the car) have the necessary safety equipment.
Hell, it's worth $10 just to hear John crank up that Lola!
