Drive a NASCAR car.

I went to NASCAR Racing Experience at Lowe’s Motor Speedway. They use real NASCAR race cars, have in-car radios and you don’t have to follow a lead car.

I can’t wait to come back next year and drive more laps.

Absolutely incredible! http://www.nascarracingexperience.com

I drove 181 MPH at Talladega with Dale Jarrett Racing Adventure. http://www.RacingAdventure.com
They were the only school I could find that would let us pass and draft each other. Most of the other schools made you follow behind an instructor who hardly let you get any speed. I even came across a few schools that didn’t use a Hans device?!

I went out with 13 of my relatives and we all had the times of our lives.
Here are a couple of their reactions!!!

I think they speak volumes about what kind of experience this is. The funny thing is.. most of them didn’t even like NASCAR but what kind of guy doesn’t like driving 180 MPH?!

Just returned home today from Charlotte, North Carolina – the home of Lowe’s Speedway. With a driving insructor in the passenger seat, I drove 15 laps at Lowe’s. NASCAR cars do not have speedometers, only tachometers. Mine reached 4000, which is pretty low by racing standards, and approximately 130 MPH.
Driving the car was challenging and a little hair-raising, but very exciting, and I would consider doing this again someday.
I drove with the Buck Baker Driving School.

I’m cheating with this entry a little. I already have tickets through BuckBaker.com to drive 5 laps in Auguat at Charlotte.

Won’t be happening anytime soon.

driving fast!
I think I might take this off my list though. I don’t see this happening anytime soon.
