How many of you out there have either purchased or received as a gift, a racing driving experience? Whether it be based on NASCAR style stock cars, Indy Cars, Sprint cars or even Exotic cars, there is one for every type of enthusiast! Schools are named after some of the most notable in their fields like: Richard Petty, Dale Jarrett, Rusty Wallace, Mario Andretti. and Dave Blaney. These are usually a more "special occasion" type gift as  they run on the pricey side.

Besides going over the target speed of 150MPH and seeing the race track from a much different perspective than being a spectator, it provides an even more powerful and realistic experience for the consumer and ends with a certificate which gives you bragging rights to your family and friends.

You've gotta love some of the comments from those who have tried it-"terrifyingly excellent" and  "checked off my bucket list".

 

  

With a significant number of race teams of  many disciplines in our own backyard, you just never know who might show up to be a regular customer, just like you. I've personally met and talked to Travis Pastrana (Supercross and World Rally car racer, TV personality, and X-Games Gold Medal winner) who brought 4 other X-Games Gold Medal winners with him, Brad Whitford of Aerosmith, and TV race analyst Ralph Sheheen (who 2 months later sat next to me at a Poison concert-small world), just to name a few.

If you consider the cost of fielding your own race car (building, fueling, entry fees, a race hauler to get it there, rebuilding it after you wreck it, etc., etc.), it's the most cost-effective bang for the buck you can buy. You show up, pay your money, you didn't have to build it, haul it to the track and you didn't have to spend hours setting it up and taking it down afterwards (take deep breaths...). They hand you a first class helmet and a driver's suit, teach you how to do it right the first time, and then you have a blast! At day's end you get in your car and go home, you're not in jail or dead, have a few beers with your buddies and exchange lies about who was faster. Sounds like the perfect race day to me!

I highly recommended it!
