richard petty driving experience

I gave my husband a vist for his birthday in 11/2011 and he had a great time. I actually rode in a car and that was plenty. My husband drove and rode. This is a well-done attraction and worth the money if you like going fast in cars.

Ever wondered what 600 horsepower feels like when you mash the pedal? Or how does does it feel to be going 150 MPH and turn left? After this you will watch racing with a new understanding of what it takes to endure a 500 mile race

I am not a NASCAR fan. Our company had a lunch here and I won a ride in the car. I wasn't prepared for how much of a thrill it would be. I love roller coasters and trill rides in general. I have to say this was more intense and thrilling. Even if you don't watch NASCAR, I'd recommend doing this. What a rush!!

I love speed and have had my share of tickets. Trying to scare me into driving more slowly, my husband bought me a ride as a Christmas present. We live in NC so I took my ride at Lowes Raceway and had a choice of going around with a professional driver in a stockcar or driving myself. If you choose to drive yourself you must take a two hour course before hand, I chose to go with a driver, not knowing the car and going around that big oval with high banks pulls a lot of G's, those who drove themselves went a lot slower than the 165 mph that we were clocked at. Did it scare me into wanting to drive more slowly? Heck no, I wanted to go faster. Three drivers are allowed on the track at one time so if you drive yourself be very careful, my driver had to slow down to avoid hitting those who didn't know how to handle their vehicle. Your are dressed in racing gear and helmets, you must sign a waiver against injury or death - This is real folks, not for the weak of stomach or heart but a complete blast - I now want to do every track. One bit of advice, being a race car there are no doors, you have to climb through the window which is really cute (not) to watch if you are short like me.
