NASCAR Experience
NASCAR Experience I have an opportunity to drive a NASCAR stock car next friday. Has anyone done this? how fast can you go? I'm getting a good deal. I don't have to pay full price. Just wondering if any of ya'll know about this.
It depends on how long the track is. I did it in Vegas a few months ago and 135 was as fast as they would let you drive.
Still- it's a different 135. Gave me new respect for the sport (I don't keep up with NASCAR). I would definitely do it again- next time I want to do a bigger track.
I did 8 laps but really didn't get situated until lap 5 so I wish I had done a few more.
Also- they offered a ride along after we drove I wish I had done.

Work with the school from time to time. Cars are legit retired cars. They have some Hendrick, Redbull, Gibbs, and DEI Chassis. Motors are detuned so they last. Smaller cam with out of the box springs, and a Demon 750 out of the box carb to make sure they start everytime. Cars are limited by a MSD Chip to around 150 at TMS.
Really a neat school because you are by yourself and have a spotter that you can talk to via 2way Radio. It will give you a new respect for the corners - the straights aren't a big deal if you drive your T/A hard, but when you go and turn left the first time at speed..... Whoa.
Also, before you drive, try to watch the Ride cars. They give rides at 165 to 170 DURING the class. They will pass the students when they share the track. Try and watch their line from Pit Road, or if one passes you. If you stay calm and do what the Spotter in your ear says, they will just leave you alone and give you feedback when they think you need it.
Biggest advice, don't act like a Jackass, because they have a NO TOLERENCE Policy for idiots. You will be pulled out of the car and no refund given. It is on the release form you sign.
Wear comfortable shoes!

Verdad Gallardo Ok, I just got done driving about an hour ago. WOW, That was an amazing ride. My top speed was 157.76mph. In our drivers class we were told not to pass anyone except on straightaways if our "Crew Chief" tells us we could. Mine let me pass someone coming out of a corner. The sound of these cars is heavenly. I love it. Bottome line. I'd recommend this to anyone.
