Nascar Experience

I have 26 days until my father and I go to Pocono raceway and get 16 laps each behind the wheel of a stock car. Im not a big Nascar fan, but he really is. He moved near Dover about 18 years ago and heard you can drive a car if you pay the fee. He was never really well off and its not a cheap event, so I knew he probably never would
do it himself. So last Christmas I paid for both of us to do it. He doesn't hunt or fish, we don't have much in common and not a ton of memories, so I am super excited to make a new one with him. And to see his face light up when he got it made it worth double what I paid.

I was wondering, has anyone done one of these experiences? 16 laps doesn't sound like much to someone like me but I am sure in the moment it feels like a lifetime, like being at full draw on a big buck. Just curious if anyone has a review or experience to share.

 

I'd say you 2 are going to have the time of your life....... 16 laps @ pocono's 2.5 mile tri-oval = 40 MILES !!!!

keep us updated with pics/vids ?

 

i did 16 laps at Talladega. Was one of the COOLEST things i have ever done in my life! Can't wait to go back!

 

I was at the 1 mile track at Disney World that they tore out this year. It was an awesome experience! I hope you have a great time!

 

Doing the nascar experience is definitely on my bucket list. I have very limited experience racing on a short track. would love to get up to speed on one of those big tracks.

 

Thanks guys! Yeah Im very excited. Not a huge fan of watching the races but the idea of driving one is so cool to me.

 

I did it down in Daytona a few years back and it's something I'll never forget.

 

Awesome! That's most important to me. I was hung up on the price for so long. $1000 each for 40 miles didn't make sense to me. But talked to a guy at work that I look up to and he said if its something he loves its an experience he'll never forget. Like I said the look on his face when he got it made it worth every penny. Glad to hear its not a let down.

 

How do you pay if you crash there car?

 

haha I hope that's covered in the price!

 

Ha ya know....Rubbing is racing! I would have to bump him just to get a feel of it wish it was my brother in front of me I would swap some paint.

 

I own one of the new challenger srt8 with the six speed 6.1 engine had a race shop change all the computer settings to stage two really not much the car won't do. Gotta have some fun in this life Hope you and your dad can reconnect
