Hi there!
I am so happy to hear that you had such a great experience! There really is nothing like getting out on the track with a professional driver and feeling the rush of a fast car. Cheers to your fun new memories!
Kind Regards,
Brianna
The nascar experience was really fun. It was a little confusing finding the parking lot and registration so that could be marked better

Cheers to a great time!

Great experience, a lot of fun!!! The employees were very friendly and helpful. We had a little confusion about where when we arrived due to lack of signs but we figured it out. My spouse also said the driver only took 5 laps when she paid for 6. It’s all done so fast that by the time I even realized we had only had 5 laps I was already out of car and helmet. If I ever decide to do it again I will definitely make sure I get what was paid for.

Good morning, Kevin!
Thank you so much for writing in about your experience - we are so happy to that you had a great time!
My apologies for the delay in response, especially after you took the time to address your concern for the amount of laps. I've actually just reached out to the racing school on your behalf to get more information. We want to make sure that customers are given not just a great experience, but the full experience that is expected (and all laps).
I will be in touch with any updates - thank you again!
Cheers & have a great weekend,
Kasia
I think it was a little expensive for only 3 laps. It was a 2-3 minute experience. I would do it again, longer next time, but the cost might be prohibitive.
— Toni S | Jul 17, 2017
Absolutely hands down awesome. And was a total surprise for my birthday.
— David L | Sep 03, 2019
Loved the double ride along - driver was great, professional, fast! Staff very conscious of security and safety. Will definitely do this again - next time driving, not riding!
— Tom H | Jun 12, 2018
Should explain that the 3-lap ride along is really just a 1-lap run. It takes 1 lap in the exit kale to get up to speed, 1 lap is at speed and 1 lap is in the pit road lane at slow speed. I expected 3 laps at speed but was rather disappointed.
All the people were nice and courteous and I was in and out in less than 15 minutes.
