Default Rode shotgun with Michael Galati

Car dealer in town put on a great event for customers at the track (thanks JN!). My first time on the track and what a blast! 4 wheel drifts and riding halfway up my sidewalls...

We also got to ride as passenger with professional drivers they flew in. Representing Audi was Michael Galati (he is racing the RS6 for Audi along with Randy Pobst). Rode with him in an RS6 on the track and hole-E-sh**! What a car, what a driver! I could not believe the car could do what he was doing with that RS6. I swore we should have flown off that track a half dozen times.

I also rode in a Lamborghini Gallardo--what a beast! Incredible sound. Also there for the riding were the new Lotus Elise, Corvette Z06, Ferrari 360 Modena, Maserati and Lamborghini Diablo.

I'm hooked. Track time, track time, track time!

Default Nice, sign me up.

He spent a good amount of time with us in the Audi Corral at Road Atlanta Petite LeMans. Great guy, as is Randy Pobst.

Default Only the RS6 and the Gallardo?

Did you get a ride in the others? Impressions?
