Fun ride

Start slow finish fast. It was as good as was expected. My learning curve was steep after changing my tires after the first 8 laps I was able to reach 8000+ rpm’s on the second 8

I am Sandy Filipovic (George's wife) and I bought the Experience for George for Christmas. George loved every minute on Saturday. He got out of the car with a huge smile on his face (and a little shaky) and could not stop talking about it. He is at work today sending emails to everyone with his pictures attached. As for me - it was fantastic. At first I was surprised at how thrilling it was to see him go by on each lap knowing that he was in his glory. I wanted to jump up and down and scream every time he went by. I know I will ever be able to give him a better Christmas gift after this. Thank you guys for a wonderful experience. Sandy

Although this truly is a once in a lifetime experience, It could have been better. for instance cars were breaking down delaying everyone, too many people backed up, and because of that drivers and spectators had to stand in the heat for many hours. it would have been nice to have an area to sit and perhaps have a cool drink. This was May 20th opening day. I think the cars should have all been in running order. No matter what the negatives it still is a great present. It could be a little better though considering the price. Also on such a large track a TV screen to watch the drivers around the track would have been great.

This was an electrifying rush! Professional, courteous instructors prepared me for the experience, however, the actual experience far surpassed their preparation and my expectations. The roar, feel, and speed of 600 horses were pure adrenalin. What a blast!
