Slinger Speedway Drive a Race Car Experience

No pace car to follow, passing allowed, all laps are hot laps!

When you arrive at Slinger Speedway, just minutes from Milwaukee, you’ll have an orientation session with veteran racing professionals to go over safety procedures, racing theory, how to enter and exit the track, flags used, finding the line, and much more.

Next, you’ll get into a driver’s suit over your clothes, helmet, and HANS device. You’ll climb through the window and into the driver’s seat. A crew member will secure you into the racing harness and connect your in-helmet one-way radio.

After a thumbs up, start your engine and through the one-way radio the instructor will guide you out onto the track. They'll work with you on accelerating, passing, braking, and finding your fastest line as your push your driving skills to the limit.

In the car, on the track, it’s just you alone making the car go faster and faster. This is as close you can ever get to real stock car racing!

No previous stock car racing experience required!
