Those that have raced the “New Cars” that run 150 MPH+ have experienced what it feels like to have one fly by at the stripe. For those that have not – check this out. My car runs 127 MPH – one of the higher speeds for an “Old Car” – and it feels like I’m standing still when they go by.

This is my Helmet-Cam video from the Quarter Final round of the Autometer Northern Class Nationals against Kevin Skinner in his FS/A 2014 Cobra Jet. Kevin actually red-lighted on this run – but I was so focused on shift points – and then on the finish line -- that I never looked at the scoreboard. I dumped when I realized Kevin was going to take the stripe and killed about .01-.02. Kevin ran 154 MPH on this run.

Imagine what this feels like in your middle class Stocker that is running 112-115 MPH?
