What a wonderful experience my sons, Scott, Jim and John, Dave Moyer and I had at the Pocono Raceway a couple weeks ago! My sons certainly pulled a fast one on me - what a surprise. Words cannot express what a thrill and pleasure it was to come racing down the straightaways at 160 mph. It was a thrill of a lifetime. Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to experience such an adventure. Everyone should try it at least once.

  1. Is there an age requirement?
    To participate in our ride program, you must be 14 years of age and have both parents present. (Under 18 both parents must sign a waiver/release form.)
  2. What are the size requirements?
    All participants must be able to enter and exit the car on their own through a window opening 15" high x 30" wide and 36" off the ground, and be in good health. Size limitations may apply: Maximum height 6'4" / weight 300 lbs.
    If you're near the limits of the size requirements, please call prior to your purchase. There will be no refund due to a student's inability to fit in a race car.
  3. What is the track like?
    Pocono Raceway has long been recognized as one of NASCAR's most competitive
    raceways and is the site of two annual NASCAR NEXTEL Cup races held just weeks
    apart in June and August. The 2.5 mile tri-oval super speedway has a unique design. Each
    turn is modeled after turns at 3 different tracks. Turn One (14 degree banking) was
    modeled after the now defunct Trenton Speedway, Turn Two (sometimes referred to as
    "The Tunnel Turn") is like Indianapolis Motor Speedway (8 degree banking), and Turn 3
    (6 degree banking) is similar to The Milwaukee Mile. It could be said to be a tri-oval, but
    the turns are much more severe than those of a more typical tri-oval such as Daytona and
    the track is really nearly a triangle. They have been likened somewhat to the hairpin-style
    turns of road courses.
  4. What if it rains?
    We will make every effort to run all sessions. You must register in person, no matter
    what the weather looks like at your present location. Please show up or you will be
    considered a no show cancellation and forfeit your tuition. In the case that we cancel your
    session, you will be provided a rain check good for one year from that date to complete
    your program.
  5. Can guests come along to the race track?
    Yes, we encourage friends, family and video cameras to come and share in the
    experience.
  6. How far in advance should I book?
    We recommend booking at least 6 weeks in advance.
  7. What should I wear?
    Sneakers are required and shorts and a T-shirt should be worn under the driving suit or long underwear in cooler weather. Helmet and driving suits are provided. Participants wishing to bring their own helmet and suit will be permitted. The helmet must be SA2000 and the suit must be at least a single layer Nomex.

    not attend on your reserved date, you may send a substitution at no additional charge.
