She loved her experience as well and thinks they hit 200mph! We were able to watch each other and take videos. You’re not allowed to have a passenger with you if you are driving. I brought my 16-year old daughter that didn’t have her full license yet, so she did the ride-along with a professional driver after I went. I grew up driving a stick shift so driving the manual car was easy. I got a little nervous but they all talked me through it every step of the way and made me totally comfortable. It was an incredible feeling.Īnd the entire staff and crew were some of the nicest and most enthusiastic folks out there! I got to wear the jumpsuit, had a helmet with radio communication with a guy talking me through the entire drive. I never thought I would be able to drive an actual nascar racecar - on the actual track - by myself - and hit 150 mph on the turns.

This was one of the top 5 coolest experiences in my life.

A very worthwhile stop off on our road trip of the Eastern coastline of the USA. After the tour we spent quite some time visiting the museum which is packed full of cars including the last winner of the 2023 Daytona 500. A few brave souls were on the race track being driven by veteran racers or splashing out and driving themselves. It was good to visit the winners enclosure and then to view the track from the Toyota stand way up high. A whole miscellaneous group of us clambered onto a trailer being pulled by a truck being driven by a chatty, chirpy older gentleman who then drove us around the outside and the inner track of the speedway sharing stories and anecdotes all the way. Having found the main entrance we decided that we would like to take the next tour. Having driven right around the outside of the whole grounds we eventually found the entrance to the free car park where the museum and tours were located. Being in Daytona Beach we simply had to pop by here and learn about the whole speedway experience.
