Thats pretty cool - I have my brother's bachelor party coming up, would be a great gift. Do you know if "Limit 1 per visit." means only one person in a group can use it at a time?

the height rule doesnt seem to be enforced very much. its a guideline, and they say 'taller people can drive but it wont be comfortable.' they do say taller people can drive the bentely without restrictions

Did this yesterday. You get to drive 3 "laps" on a small track and take pics with it.

I signed my bro up for the Aston Martin since he's a huge Bond fan.. but they were saying someone broke the clutch and didn't have it there. He had to drive the Bentley instead.. For the price I paid, would've liked him to drive the car he wanted.

But it was a good time. The Lambo was like driving a rocket! Awesome stuff. It seemed one of the managers was nice enough to take us for a ride along in both cars where he really opened it up and on an extended track.

Just wanted to let you guys know what it is. I dono if it would be worth it if it wasn't for the groupon price, its a pretty quick experience.

Has anyone done this recently? I just looked at the Groupon and it looks like those ******** added a $25 required insurance fee.

A friend of mine did, they locked the Lamborghini (it was a Gallardo, no Murcielagos there) into 'automatic only' mode and I believe also detuned it as well. He was quite disappointed.

Pretty sure they said it ahead of time that there'll be no manual driving at all.

look up some reviews on yelp about this experience and company, i had an issue with registering and they were asshats about it. after doing some digging on google, i asked groupon for my money back.
apparently you follow a pace car going less than 70mph for quite a bit less than they lead you to believe while the car is in snow mode. If i wanted to drive a fast looking car 65mph i got that covered lol.
