A little Different Type of Ride Sunday, January 6th was an EXTRA for some of the members of Chapter M. Our Chapter Directors, Lucy and Rich Schaad, asked us to join them with a special type of ride. About an hours drive east of our location is a place called Walt Disney World, which has the Walt Disney Speedway. On this track is the Richard Petty Driving Experience. Hummm. 
Click on the image for information How about climbing into a "retired" NASCAR vehicle and take a spin around the track ! That is just what they did. Each drove the real cars by themselves around the track. That's right, no ride along instructor sitting beside them. Just them and the car. Their daughter and son and some of our members opted for the ride along experience. This is quite a thrill too, as the speeds are just as fast a the hands on drive experience. Speeds ? Well Rich's average speed was 121 mph and Lucy's slightly less. Rich were you trying to draft that car ahead of you ? Interested? Check out a video of their ride by clicking on this line.
