Get ready for the force and speed of a race proven stock car!
This is the perfect experience gift for the racing fan in your life - driving a highly tuned stock car at speeds up to 150 mph. They will never forget the extraordinary feeling of pushing the pedal to the metal and driving a 400-horsepower racing machine to its limits!
The experience begins with a team of seasoned instructors briefing you on safety procedures, racing theory, and everything you need to know to get your lap times down and your speeds up. They’ll explain how to enter and exit the track, flags used, passing, finding the line, and much more.
