Do I need a driver's license?

Yes, driving participants must have a valid (legal and not expired), government-issued driver's license (from any country).

Do I need to bring my own racing gear?

No, the racing school will provide you with racing gear, including a driving suit and helmet. If you have your own gear that you would like to use, you are welcome to bring it for possible use, but it will be subject to inspection and approval for use by the Track Operator. Gear will be available for you at the track, should you not be approved to use your own.

Can I choose which racecar I drive?

No, unfortunately the racing school cannot guarantee which exact cars will be at the track on a given date, nor can they promise the specific car a participant will be assigned to for his/her drive. Each participant is assigned to a car with careful consideration, based on individual height and weight.

What happens if I wreck the car?

The price includes a $35 fee for racing license and liability insurance. This releases you from all vehicle damage.

Is passing allowed?

Yes, if you come up on a slower race car, track personnel will assist you around the slower portion(s) of the group, using techniques and instructions covered in your pre-drive orientation session.

What does the typical day look like?

Following a one-hour pre-drive orientation/training session with the racing school's Crew Chief and professional instructors, you'll drive a real Sprint Cup style stock car on a speedway for a timed session. Total drive-time will depend on the program purchased. For this experience, there is no lead car utilized and and no instructor in the car with you! You will have constant, 2-way communication with a professional racing instructor through a state-of-the-art, in-car racing electronics radio system. Upon completion, you'll receive a full-color, Graduate Certificate with your top speed proudly displayed on it.

What is the policy on rain-outs?

If your experience is canceled due to inclement weather, the driving school will contact you and either immediately reschedule you for another available date, or issue you a gift card valid for 1 year. A refund will not be issued due to rain-outs.

I had fun driving. However, I purchased additional time above what my company awarded me because I used to love NASCAR and racing in general. I purchased the in car video so I could relive my experience and share with friends. When I got home and viewed the video they gave me there was not one lap of my 3 X 8 minute sessions. I can't begin to express my disappointment. I haven't missed a NASCAR race I could watch live for many years. I currently have no desire to watch any type of racing for that matter. I've spent the last two days trying to find a way to get my money back on at least what I paid for the video without success. I understand it was not Cloud 9 involvement in my disappointment, but I still can not recommend spending this kind of money to be overall disappointed in the experience.

Overall experience was good, what they do not tell you: 1. Cars are regulated to 125 mph. 2. Cars have no AC so Aug afternoon in Dover is hot. 3. Safety brief lasts about an hour. 4. The time it takes to ride around the apron before you are allowed to enter the track is a slow pace and counts towards your purchased time.... That means getting on and off of track... About 1:30 minutes each time, so if you purchase 5 minutes you only get 2 minutes on actual track driving "fast." 5. GoPro option at track waste of money. No sound and it's only positioned to face toward track and no other camera angles. Bottom line, fun to do once but expensive and not as awesome as you would expect.

Thrilling time on the track! I would highly recommend this as a gift to any racing enthusiast.

— Charles K | Aug 15, 2016

Unbelievable... was run very well. The people were amazing, knowledgeable and friendly. Nothing bad to say about the experience except that they ran out of bottles of water.

— Michael L | May 30, 2016

It was absolutely awesome. I only wish I could have gone faster. I think the rev-limiter was set too low, but I know the guides need to err on the side of safety for all involved. Overall, it was very enjoyable and I would definitely do it again.

— Michael I | Aug 20, 2015

Had a great time. Would like to do it again but can't afford the money. Thank you.
