Pocono Raceway Ride Along

The ride was what I expected, fast. Ron, the driver knew what he was doing. I wish he could have gone faster, but I guess he had to keep it at 150.

Stockcar Ride Along

Having been a stockcar racing fan for over 50 years, the ride along was a treat. My two sons bought this as a gift for my 75th birthday and it was a challange to see if I would do it....Acutally it was never a question, and I enjoyed it very much. It was about what I expected and will make me more aware of what is happening at the next race I attend.

Stockcar Ride Along Review

The experience was great and the personnel were very friendly and helpful, but I brought my Dad for a ride along as well and the experience would have been more fun if you could take two ride alongs out at the same time and do a pass so we could get a better feel for the NASCAR experience. Just a suggestion.

Overall, Pretty Cool

6 laps is a must, otherwise 3 goes by super fast at 160 mph. It's worth the upgrade. It's an awesome rush an all I wanted was to go faster. Great for adrenaline junkies. I reccomend the experience and I'll be back as a driver next time.
