    My second run of the day was the #43 stock car. What a blast. The entire crew was helpful,…read morecourteous and professional. The spotter was on point and I was able to go as fast as the car would allow. I certainly missed my calling. HINT: The #2 black and gold car was hauling a$$ all day. Get that one if you can. Thanks everyone for the awesome day!

    Absolutely one of the best experiences I have had…read more I went up to the track with my dad and a group from his company. We joined the other 27 future race car drivers in our driver-training meeting in the media center at Texas Motor Speedway to get our instructions and safety lessons. We were met by Kirby (aka Big Block), who taught us the ins and outs of what we were about to experience, and how best to safely speed around the course. When we went outside, we were suited up, given a helmet, and we made our way to pit wall where we were paired up with an experienced driver who was going to take us around the track at 165 mph for a few laps. The ride-along was a blast. You really get to experience the stress that is put on your body going into a banked turn in a stock car. How the pros do that going 30-mph faster for 400 miles is absolutely beyond me. It was then our turn. Big Block had taught us that as long as we follow the line of our pace car, and keep a 3-car length following distance, then they will go faster, and therefore we can follow going faster. Unfortunately for my first couple laps we got caught behind someone who wasn't quite comfortable with the 600-horsepower they were controlling. But after we passed them (safely of course), we really opened up. Each lap I got faster and faster, and topped out over 135mph! It was incredibly fun, and the staff there really makes the day enjoyable. Everyone who I met not only loves their job, but makes you love the whole experience. You really get an appreciation for what the NASCAR guys do week in and week out. I really recommend anyone to have this experience.

    Yes, my loving wife got me the Rusty Wallace Racing Experience for a Christmas gift. We were…read moresupposed to do it here in Corpus Christi TX, but it got cancelled. For the inconvenience, they gave me 5 bonus laps for a total of 15 to do it in Kyle TX. at the Central Texas Speedway. I had scheduled it for Sat, but it got rained out, so they let me re-schedule it on Sunday, not a problem. Finally the day came. My scheduled time was for 12 noon. Because of all the rain, they had to dry the track. The fun was supposed to start at around 8am, but didn't start til around 11:30am. We got there around 10:30am and had to wait till around 4:00pm when it was my groups turn. We didn't mind the waiting, it was a beautiful day. I also did the ride along. Having a real driver take you around the track like it should be done was COOL!! He ran it to win I thought. Then it was my turn at the wheel. There was 4 of us on the track at the same time. 2 people only purchased 10 laps, and I had 15 and the 4th had 20 laps. Plus the ride along cars came out on to the track also. What made this a NEAT experience was, we had an ear pad type speaker in the helmet. So, a spotter was constantly telling every driver how they were doing, or if they needed to move down and let the other car pass. The only time I had to move down was when the ride along cars were coming thru. I lapped the field, THAT WAS WAY COOL!!!, not that we were racing, but it made it fun!!! Larry and his crew did the best they could do because of the weather. His crew was very polite and answered any question you asked. Larry's safety class was great for the first time racer too. He goes over the basics well, and he also makes sure you know what you need to know. All-in-ALL I would rate the Rusty Wallace Racing Experience a 10 out of 10!! I bought the video too. Here is the link to my youtube channel http://youtu.be/8PUDtx4Dlpc

Props to the rest of the crew; they seem to really enjoy their job. Aside from that, the racing was pretty fun. The karts had great handling and ran quickly. Definitely recommend; I went here after Holley Fest and genuinely enjoyed my time here more. Thank you all

    I thought it was gonna be run by a bunch of good'ol boy/redneck Texans. I was 100% wrong, and…read morethat's on me. ALL the young men working there were fantastic. The young man working the register was polite and took the safety briefing very seriously. He's the type of guy you want at the register dealing with clueless customers such as myself. The young men running the track were great. They were polite and accommodating. They helped my short daughter get set up correctly. They made sure we were set and just laid back, nice guys. Was it pricey, 15 laps for $450, but our group had a ton of fun. The track is a bit worn down and could use some maintenance along with the cars themselves. The cars were inconsistent. I had three different cars; each one felt different. My last car drifted a lot, despite driving it about the same as the other cars. Their helmets were old and could use an upgrade. I'm glad I wore my sunglasses and kept the visor up to see more clearly.
