Title: If you ever get the chance to drive a Nascar -
Post by: gpwurzel on February 06, 2008, 09:58:41 AM

I thoroughly recommend you do it......


Did the Richard Petty Experience yesterday (talked the wife into doing it as well) on the Las Vegas Circuit.

Paid initially for the 8 lap rookie experience - my speed at the end was 133 and the wife managed 129.01 - which obviously meant we had to go again.....lol.......seriously good fun

2nd run (cost 279 each for another 8 laps) - I did 133.10 and wife managed 133.38 dammit............max speed on the rookie experience is apparently 134 (according to the instructors) so was pretty happy with that (not with the wife beating me obviously) - oh, and she had the fastest lap time of the day as well. Had the instructors laughing as we joshed each other in the briefing room - to the point of after the first lap, tell us we were both crazy.

Bit of an expensive day all told - 499 for the initial 8, 279 for the 2nd 8, plus various merchandise - but ya know, it was worth every penny.

Cool ... I was wondering about it.

My dad did that at Daytona, it was just the ride along, but they got up to 170mph, and it was only $100.

They would never turn me loose on a full bore NASCAR ride for fear of making Jimmy Johnson look bad.
