There is an awesome event going on in San Antonio Texas on December 2, and then in Miami on 12/13 and 12/15. It is a 200MPH event that allows participants to take a fleet of exotic cars up to, and in some cases over 200MPH in a safe environment. You will be piloting 5 different cars over the course of the day, with each pass getting closer to breaking the 200MPH barrier.

Here are the cars you will be driving:

Ferrari F430 Scuderia
SLR McLaren
Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano
Ford GT
Lamborghini LP560-4

Here is what the day includes:

The Morning
8:00am Welcome
The day begins with a welcome at the hospitality unit where you will immediately sense the unique atmosphere of the Extreme event. A catered trackside breakfast will be served before the briefing. Then, you will be introduced to the team who are dedicated towards making your experience unforgettable.

8:45am - 12:00pm
Briefing, safety and track preview including the rules that apply to all track activity as well as a detailed description of each corner and how you will approach helping you to achieve better braking, acceleration, and cornering.
There are four different workshops; slow cornering, high speed cornering, high speed handling and top speed. Safety helmets, will be provided although drivers are welcome to bring their own helmets, racing suits and gloves if they wish.
The morning session will consist of rotating through each of the first three workshops, hospitality and debriefing. The three workshops are all at different parts of the track and run simultaneously, so it is none stop action! You will start each workshop as a passenger with your instructor. This will give you the chance to familiarize yourself with the course, the right lines and driver inputs that you can apply when you are behind the steering wheel.
When not driving, participants can relax and enjoy the hospitality. Refreshments and food are available throughout the session.

The Afternoon
By lunch, you'll have spent considerable time in each car and familiarized yourself with handling, braking, cornering and performance. You should know the track by this stage, so you can apply the lessons of the classroom to the real experience of driving the supercars.
During the afternoon, you will spend time with the instructor who will coach you for the 200MPH XTREME challenge. He or she with you will decide the level of speed you feel comfortable with during the challenge up to 200MPH.

The event is a full day and the cost is $4,995 and takes place in San Antonio Texas on December 2, 2009. If you can’t make it to Texas, the same event is going on in Miami on 12/13 and 12/15 if you wanted to shoot south to Florida.

Let me know if anyone wants to participate since I can set you up with tickets! It is going to be INSANE to get to those speeds in these cars...over and over again! Definitely going to be a memorable experience.
