Cars running at COTA.  Sorta.

Got this in my inbox:

We're in this race together.
Stop by Circuit of The Americas on Sunday for a Food Drive Like No Other on America's Only F1 Track!
Take a drive on our world-famous 3.4-mile track to collect donations for the Central Texas Food Bank in a parade of unity, hope, and fun! Donations aren't required to participate but are encouraged. Just $1 can produce up to four meals!

Together, we've already raised over $80,000! Chip in to help us get to our $100,000 goal before Sunday.
Donate Now
Germania Insurance will match up to $10,000 of donations. COTA and Austin Bold FC will match Germania's donation of $10,000.

COTA Food Drive Plan
At the COTA Food Drive, you can join your friends and neighbors safely from inside your vehicle at 20 MPH as you ascend the iconic "Turn 1" hill, weave through the challenging "esses" at Turns 3 and 4, and cruise down the same back stretch as the greatest drivers in Formula 1 have done!

For complete event information, visit TheCircuit.com/Donate.

Guess Austin is missing their traffic jams.  This sounds cool but damn I can't imagine the traffic, you will not be able to do over 20. Hope they got fill up stations along the way.
I am the GR8KORNHOLIO! Are you threatening me?
