First things first. Sign up for membership to your local pca.org chapter. Then sign up for a Driver's Education event with them next spring. Depending on high tall you are and what the rules are for the local chapter you will figure out if you satisfy the track requirements. Typically if you pass the "broomstick test" (a broomstick resting on the roll bar and the windshield pillar cannot touch your head with a helmet on it) you should be fine. I'm 6ft tall and I pass with no problem.

120mph on the back straight at Mid-Ohio; Had the 99 up to 120 on an interstate before I started doing DE's--none of that anymore.

130mph before I lost my nerve. What was more fun was sustained 105-115 on winding Interstate through about 20 miles of foothills. Middle of the night with no one around. The car was just planted around the corners. Yes, its time for PCA DE's.

138 with top down, but then I had a flashback of Steve Austin's vehicle disintegrating at the start of The $6 Million Dollar Man, so I backed off
