Drive a Stock Car in New York

Description:
Are you ready for the driving experience of a lifetime? Turn your dream of taking the checkered flag into a reality at the historic 2.5 mile Pocono Raceway.

Thousands of cars have raced here since the track's beginning in 1968, and now it is home to 2 Sprint Cup Series races each year. With its long straight-aways and three distinct corners, this Super Speedway is an incredible track to drive.

Your stock car driving experience begins with a detailed discussion on the operation of the race cars, safety equipment and track rules. This is followed by an informative tour of the race track with one of our professional instructors. Next you will be fitted for a racing suit and helmet.

Now it is time to climb in, strap up and take control of a Nextel Cup style stock car. As you leave the pit and enter the 2.5 mile super speedway you will experience an adrenaline rush only known to the NASCAR racing world.

The drive sessions are run in a follow the leader format. An instructor will lead two students following four car lengths behind. Each lap your confidence builds and the lead instructor increases the speed.

Upon completion of our program, each participant will receive a certificate of achievement and memories that will last a lifetime.
