Milwaukee Drive a Race Car Experience

No instructor in the car - no pace car to follow -  passing allowed - all laps are hot laps!

Your racing adventure begins with a classroom session where you’ll learn racing lines, vehicle dynamics, braking techniques, and safety procedures. Next, you’ll get into your fire-proof driver’s suit and helmet and climb through the window into the driver’s seat.

Before you put the pedal to the metal and tear out onto the track, a crew member will make sure your 5-point racing harness is snug and connect the one-way radio to your helmet. Through the radio, your instructor will give you advice on changing gears and braking points the entire time you are on the racetrack, helping you get your speed up to an incredible level in a safe way.

No previous experience driving a race car is required!

This Milwaukee experience gift is a great introduction to the fast and furious world of stock car racing, perfect for someone who loves to go FAST!
