Watkins Glen w/an X5?

Am I cool, crazy or just nuts for considering tagging along with the local BMW CCA group this Sunday at Watkins Glen's opening day?

3 laps behind a pace car for $25 (to charity)...

Last time I did this I was driving a MINI Cooper S with a couple of mods. X5 is all stock, 6-cyl, nothing special.

I expect speeds near 80 on the front and rear straights but more cautious elsewhere from the pace car.

Oh, anyone near Buffalo/Rochester/Syracuse want to play along? Here's the link:

Can't make it Sunday as I have other commitments, but enjoy the drive. It's a fun event! WGI is a great track!
