Indianapolis Drive a Race Car Experience

The perfect experience gift for racing fans – a gift that goes up to 150 mph!

Your stock car racing experience begins with seasoned racing instructors guiding you through safety procedures, the flags used, how to enter and exit the track, finding your line, passing and more. Next, you’ll get geared up in a full-face helmet, HANS device and a fireproof racing suit over your clothes.

No previous racing experience needed! 

Then for the exciting part! Climb through the window, slide into the driver’s seat, and buckle your 5-point harness. A crew member will make sure you are strapped in snuggly and connect the one-way radio to your helmet. They’ll be in your ear the entire time you are on the track, giving you on tips on braking, changing gears and getting up to astonishing speeds quickly and safely.

No pace car to follow - No instructor in the car
All laps are hot laps -  Passing allowed
How fast you go is up to you! 

With your loved ones on the sidelines cheering, you’ll be gripping the wheel with white-knuckles and a laser focus on the track ahead as the roar of the engine drowns out every other thought. It’s just you in the car and the instructor in your ear!
