A friend of mine's father runs Monster Racing @ Dover Downs in Delaware.
It's a Nascar driving school which uses ex-Winston Cup, Busch GN and Nascar
Super Trucks as the school vehicles. Events range from 4 lap passenger rides
to 3 - 12 lap sessions in one day. If anyone would like any further info on
their schools, check out their web site @ www.monsterracing.com.
