Champion Ride Review

I had a blast. The only thing I wish was different was if it was longer. I have told everyone I know to do it.

It was a great experience for both my son and I. We enjoyed it so much that we hope to step up and do the driving experience in the near future. My son and I both would recommend to anyone who is thinking about taking a ride to do it because it is a thrill of a lifetime.

Ultimate Champ Ride

The ride along was great. My daughter got me the champ ride for christmas and my son added the pics, tee shirt and cap. I rode in the 24 car and got pics with the 48 car, my two favorite cars. It gives you a greater appreciation for the skill of the drivers. It was the best present ever!
