Amazing Driving Experience!

This was a really great experience. I went 152 mph!! I thought it was amazing. I think the driving time could have been a little longer though. 8 min. wasn't nearly enough time on the track. I loved that I got to be in compete control of the car though. And being able to talk to my spotter was really great. I felt like I was a real Nascar driver! Truly is an experience of a lifetime.

Petty Rookie Driving Experience

Had a great time. Driving at those speeds is definitely something to experience in your life time. What a thrill. The only problem is that the time goes by so fast. For the amount of money we paid it would have been nice for them to double the amount of time. Just when you get comfortable driving the car the time is up.

The experience was great, my instructor did a wonderful job during the ride. The ONLY thing I could suggest would be a pre-drive lap around the track before we get strapped in. Overall it was a great day!

Drove a NASCAR

This was beyond words. I only wished I had more laps to drive. The only bad thing was the video people were not able to video tape it, and I may not ever get to do this again. Pictures just aren't enough.

Thanks

The man who spoke to us in the driver's meeting was funny. Keep him employed. More than that, I was so excited after getting out of the car I really did not tell my instructor what a great job he did with me. Please tell him, I was in the 00 car. Really thank the Instructor. He let me run and the last few laps back and forth with the 38 car where just a kick in the pants. Thanks......My son who watched will do this next year.

Questions about Auto Club NASCAR Drive

Question: I would like to purchase this gift for my father, who does not have a very flexible schedule. What happens if it rains on the day of his race and the experience is cancelled?

Answer: Safety is of utmost importance on the track. If the NASCAR experience is cancelled due to weather by the operator or any other uncontrollable circumstances, you will be able to reschedule directly through the race operator.
Question: How many other cars will there be on the racetrack? I did a racing experience once before and we followed a pace car the entire time and were not allowed to pass. Does this NASCAR experience allow us to pass?

Answer: An actual NASCAR race has 43 cars at the start, but for this experience there will be only 20 cars total on the track for each session. There is also no lead car and passing is encouraged. You will have a spotter talking to you through your headset and he will let you know when to move up.

Answer: Safety is top priority, therefore incidences are EXTREMELY rare. All drivers are covered with Vehicle Liability Insurance that is included in the price.
