When are you arrive at Caraway Speedway, instructors will go over the techniques you will need for a safe but very fast experience. They'll go over how to enter / exit the track, flags used, finding the racing line, safety procedures, and much more.
Next, you’ll put on your racing gear, slide through the window into the driver’s seat and buckle your 5-point racing harness! A crew member will connect a one-way radio to your helmet. Through the helmet radio, they'll help you find the fastest line as you push your driving skills to the limit.
After a thumbs up, start your engine, wait for the green flag to be waved, and put the pedal to the metal! Out on the track, it’s just you alone in the race car with the instructor in your ear helping you drive to near professional race speeds.
How fast you go is up to you! Speeds will vary according to each driver’s individual performance.
No previous racing experience needed!
