[FLYNAVY30]

Day 6 was somewhat of a bonus day....the rally was over, but the organizers were able to book laps at Talladega for anyone that wanted to run....of course everyone did, although the Suburban sat out due to the fuel pump, offload tires, high center of gravity, steep banked turns, etc, etc. I did get to ride shotgun in both the Camaro and the Porsche. The Camaro was awesome, and looked the part but was limited to about 110 MPH due to gearing and the 4 spd which meant we were barely fast enough to keep the car up on the banks of the track. The Porsche on the other hand was silly fast....and the faster you went, the more solid it felt. It just kind of hunkered down and kept gaining speed. Like VIR, these laps were "paced", but the lovely gentlemen driving the pace car certainly didn't appear to have any interest in limiting anyone's attempt at personal top speed records. We easily saw 150+ in the Porsche. After the fun at the track, we returned to Rome and spent that afternoon at the downtown beer garden....highly recommended if you ever find yourself in that area! All outdoor seating, right on the river.
