Drive a NASCAR in Britain

I note that the Richard Petty driving experience, or whatever it's called, is coming to Rockingham this year. Prices are stiff, of course (825 quid for 30 laps!) but the link's here. http://www.rockingham.co.uk/pages/petty2001.html Colin Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/

Nascar is the organization, not the car type...boy we have to learn you Brits a few terms. If we applied a similar logic to riding in a Lister Storm, it would be.... Drive a FIA in Britain. The Official name for the cars is "Grand National" however, since the tobacco firm (RJ Reynolds?) that produces Winston cigarettes came on as the series sponsor, the cars have been referred to as... Winston Cup cars or shortened to just "Cup" cars. Now would you like to learn the proper way to pronounce 'Tires?" dave henrie
