Are you ready to fulfill your dream to drive a stock car like the pros do!
Put your driving skills to the ultimate test with this stock car racing experience. No pace car to follow, passing allowed, and no instructor in the car.
Real stock cars! Real speed! Real fast!
Your racing adventure at Star Speedway begins with a classroom session where seasoned racing instructors coach you on how to enter and exit the track, the flags used, finding the line, safety procedures, and much more. By the end, you’ll have everything needed for a safe but adrenaline-pumping driving experience.
No previous racing experience needed!
Next, you’ll get dressed in racing gear (fire-retardant suite over your clothes and full-face helmet), climb into the driver’s seat and buckle your 5-point racing harness! A pit crew member will connect the one-way radio to your helmet.
After a thumbs up, start your engine, and through the helmet radio the instructor will guide you out onto the track and work with you the whole time on accelerating, braking, passing, and finding your fastest line as you push your driving skills to the limit.
It’s just you alone in the stock car! How fast you go is up to you! Speeds will vary according to each driver’s individual performance.
This breathtaking driving experience has been designed to give you the thrill of driving a stock car in a safe and controlled environment. This experience is the perfect gift for the racing fan in your life who dreams of going really FAST!
