I Was Inside a Race Car at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway
The Union 76 100 mph club at the Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway offers a ride around the five-eighths mile oval. I accepted a ride with Bill Morton in a 1965 Chevelle, reaching 110 to 140 mph on banked turns and finishing with an official 110.211 mph average as I joined the club.
