Yeah, there was this gorgeous Interlagos Blue M6 that was just always at the back of the pack doing about 40. 
I think my car could eat it up.

Sounds like you had a great time. I did the Richard Petty Experience at Lowes Motor Speedway. We did 8 laps (@ 45 seconds per lap). The instructor worked us up to speed for 3 laps, plus a cool down. That meant I had 4 laps or 3 minutes of the real fun. It wasn't enough time to get comfortable on the guys tail. He never let me go faster than 140 mph. Supposedly in the RPE cars, 160 mph is the max the instructors can do. But Lowes is a 1 1/2 mile oval. Cup Cars only do 180 or so. Thank goodness I didn't have to pay the $400 a normal RPE session would have cost.
IIRC, we had the HANS but we weren't strapped to the car, just the shoulder/neck support.
PS: For the money, I'd rather do the HPDE's with my own car and do a whole weekend with 3 hours track time for less money. I just have to pray my car survives without issue.
