What an experience!!! If I were to make one recommendation is that the inside riders face be recorded as well as the outside view. I would have loved to see the expression etc. on my face.

Even though there was a rain delay, I still had a great experience. The staff at the track were extremely friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to ensure a good experience. My driver was great and helped me to have a thrilling ride. I now have a much better idea what I am seeing when I watch a race. I want to go back and maybe try driving myself.

Stockcar Ride Along Review

I want to thank all you folks for a real good time. Hope I didn't damage the floorboard of the car I was in, by pushing my imaginary brake pedal. I have already recommend it to all my friends.
