Nascar Driving Experiance
Hello All!

Happy Holidays

I'm thinking of giving my father (who is a HUGE Nascar Fan) the Richard Petty (http://www.1800bepetty.com/home.aspx)

Driving Experience for Christmas.

I was contemplating the Series 1 Package (450.00 something retail) package for him at the Fontana,CA raceway.

Have any members done this or have any feedback?

I'm about to pull the trigger and wanted to insight.

I have done the "rookie experience" at Atlanta Motor Speedway twice (both Christmas gifts). I will say it was a blast. Especially if you don't have any sort of racing background. It was only like 8 laps or something, but it felt longer out on the track.

If your Dad is a Nascar fan, I would think he will enjoy it. I know mine did.

Both the wife and I did it in Las Vegas. Even at slower than race speeds it throws some G's in the corners. The very first time we came racing up to a turn I though no way this car is going to make it around with out wiping out. Of course it made it around but the very next corner I thought the same thing. Mind blowing the grip those cars have at that speed.

My wife gave it to me for a birthday present a few years ago. I had a great time!
