Questions about Richmond NASCAR Drive

Question: I purchased this gift for my husband, a longtime NASCAR fan. I would like to bring the whole family to watch him race. I have two young kids and would like to know if concessions will be available or if I need to bring snacks along for my children.

Answer: As this is a private event hosted by the driving school, normal concessions will not be open. You may bring outside food and beverages along with you.
Question: My husband and I would like to buy this for our Son as a Congratulations gift. What is included in each add on package?

Answer: If you click the green circle next to the drop down menu, you will see what is included with each package. They are as follows:
(1) 8 Minute Session – Add three additional minutes of Drive Time for a total eight minutes behind the wheel.
(2) 8 Minute Sessions- Upgrade to two eight minute sessions of Drive Time for a total sixteen minutes behind the wheel.
(3) 8 Minute Sessions- Upgrade to three eight minute sessions of Drive Time for a total twenty four minutes behind the wheel.
(4) 8 Minute Sessions- Upgrade to four eight minute sessions of Drive Time for a total of thirty two minutes behind the wheel.
Question: I am looking to give this as a retirement gift. What happens if the person I give the gift to gets into an accident?

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