Please Please Please do not book with this company. Seriously, the WORST customer service. They do not care about their customers. I booked this experience in May of 2019 for Milwaukee, WI location. I took off work multiple times, so I could watch my husband race. The event was canceled three times for "bad weather". Although, only one of the three times did it rain. We were booked out to 2020. Obviously, no one was open due to COVID which is totally understandable. Fast forward to 2021. I have left multiple messages and emails with no response. I emailed the general Rusty Wallace email and did receive a fast response to them. I explained that my emails and calls had not been returned. His response was that I was probably emailing my contact for day of racing and they do not handle scheduling. That's fine, but it would have been nice to receive a response letting me know who to contact. There were only 2 racing dates left for the year, and we chose one even though neither of them worked great for our schedule. I asked if there was a number for a customer service rep. The email responded with a number. No employee's name was ever attached to the email. When I called, it turned out the ONLY customer service rep was the guy who was emailing me. I had to ask for his name, Gil. I calmly said that the experience has been not ideal for us. Gil started yelling at me and interrupting me on the phone. I said calmly, "You seemed frustrated and angry at me. I am only trying to explain my point of view and how I feel as a customer. Is there anyone else I can talk to." He angrily said, "Nope, it's only me and I am only trying to state the facts." This company should not be in business. read more

Just horrible to buy a groupon with set dates on it, and then go to book it and realize those dates are allegedly sold out? Then had to fight with groupon to get any money or credit back. It's too bad because hubby really wanted to do this. What a shame that their customer service is so poor and they would not help to get a date that worked, or even put us on a waitlist/cancellation list or something. Their customer service needs to be better. Ah well -- This one is for the Denver/Colorado Speedway read more

The staff are all very nice & great (except for the fact that the young lady at sign-in didn't know what the regular pricing is - Just needs a little more training before dealing with the public).. The only customer service issue I have is their reputation (I found out when there for race day) for returning calls is horrible. I had left a message a few weeks earlier & had called back a few times, never hearing anything in return. They overall are EXTREMELY, EXTREMELY safety-conscious (a great thing), very professional, and know their stuff! I think for people who: a. Love race cars to death; b. Haven't ever driven very fast; and/or c. Don't have other activities which are at least as equally exciting to experience, this is an AWESOME place to get your adrenaline rush! I happen to have found the little 1/4-mile track drive dull. There's no room to really get the cars up to much speed (if you've driven fast your whole life, as I have). You hit the accelerator for about 1.5 seconds & you have to move to the brake. For ME, I was bored. Meanwhile, this is NOT a negative about the place - I think TONS of people should try it, and that MANY will have a blast!! read more

We had a fantastic time. The ride was exuberant . I always wanted to do this. The essence of speed is in my bones. I will recommend to have a billboard showing the track entrance. It is not noticible. The staff is very helpful. read more

Rusty Wallace Racing Experience - Awesome ride. - Racing Experience Near Me - Stockton, California

See all

I received the 15-lap driving package at Birch Run, MI as a 50th birthday gift, and purchased the insurance, camera, and 3-lap ride along when I got to the track. The ride along was great! The driver pushed the car to it's limits - to the point where the rear-end just started to drift as we went around the turns. When we were done, he took the time to answer some more detailed questions I had that I didn't think to ask during the class. Everything else was good until I started actually driving my laps. I'm not sure if it was due to the lighting (it was getting quite overcast when I began my drive), but it was very difficult to see the lane markers from far enough away. I was in the second turn of my first lap when the spotter yelled at me over the radio that if I continued to cross the orange (outside) line, he wouldn't have a problem kicking me off the track. In reviewing the video, I can see that's the first time I crossed it, and that I began to correct for it as soon as it came into view. The track at Birch Run is very short - there isn't much of a straight-away, which didn't help. I would come out of a turn and cross the green "X" on the track that marks where you're supposed to accelerate, but I wasn't about to give more gas until I knew where the next lane markers were, which meant I was wasting at least 1/4 of the straight-away. By the time I could tell I was centered and punched it, I was already coming up on the orange "X", which marks where you're supposed to slow for the turn. I've driven enough performance cars in my life to know not to just go all-out when first behind the wheel, but rather gradually increase how aggressively you drive until you get a feel for it's limits. Unfortunately, I spent too much time trying to navigate the track to focus on getting in tune with the car. During the pre-drive class, the instructor said that if you go 3 laps without hearing anything from your spotter, that you should return to the pit because there's probably something wrong with your radio. Well, that happened, and when I went in, I was told that they were about to give me the checkered flag anyway because I was only 1/2 lap away from completing my 15 laps. It didn't seem to me that I had done that many already (you're also instructed not to count laps yourself because you need to focus on too many other things), but I wasn't too upset about stopping with how stressful it was trying to navigate that track. Sure enough, upon watching the video, I had only completed 11 laps. While taking off my fire suit afterwards, I mentioned to my wife how hard it was to see the lane markers. One of the women managing the suits overheard me and told me that several others had complained of the same thing that day. The driver of the other car on the track with me was also standing there and told me that he too had been yelled at by the spotter for crossing the line because he couldn't see them well enough. This experience would have been completely different if the lane markers were more frequently placed. As it was, the driving experience was highly disappointing and I cannot recommend it. I give 2 stars only because of the good ride-along experience. read more

I had read good reviews about this company online and everything looked promising. I decided to book a racing experience for my boyfriend's birthday. His birthday was in June and the experience was scheduled for September. The day that he was scheduled to have his experience, they called and canceled saying that there was a "conflict on the track". I understand that things come up, but they had over three months to figure this out and didn't say a single thing. Luckily we lived close, but I can't imagine how frustrating that would have been for people who traveled and got hotels, etc. to be there for the experience. I then called to reschedule and left a voicemail and I waited a week and never heard back. I called again and this time someone picked up and she was super rude about everything on the phone. I explained to her that I needed to book it at the nearest location, which was still over three hours from my house. (I was willing to make the drive because I wanted my boyfriend to have his experience). She told me that they are actually planning on canceling that one, they just haven't announced it yet. It's less than a month away -- they know they are canceling it and have yet to say anything -- Yikes. She proceeded to tell me that there was only one other option to complete the experience this year in my state and it was over seven hours away. Fearful that it would get canceled, and not wanting to drive over 14 hours round-trip for this experience, I told her that I would just like a refund. She told me that they were not offering refunds, and I would have to schedule for next year. I told her that I was not going to be out $400+ for over a year (& who even knows if they would actually follow through with the experiences anyways) because of their scheduling issues. I asked her to speak to a manager. The manager was also super rude, but did give me my refund. I will never schedule anything with this company again. They do not care about customers, and clearly they do not possess the skills needed to run something like this smoothly. There are plenty of other companies who offer similar things that don't have nearly as many issues as this one does. Overall, it was super disappointing and frustrating and I definitely do not recommend! read more

I would have felt alot more comfortable having the rear view mirror.couldnt hear spotter well. I know I for sure would have had faster lap times being able to see behind me that the professional driver with the rider wasn't coming up so I wouldnt be crowding him against the outside wall.racers have rear views I think we should too.otherwise I loved it read more

Rusty Wallace Racing canceled a Monday Drag Race experience on the Friday before due to weather. I don't know if it rained as predicted 4 days later as I was not there. Since they only issue rain checks for future dates not refunds, buyer beware. I feel I have lost all the money I paid for my two friends and I to do the experience as it was unique opportunity to have the three of us available for the drag racing package. The three of us I signed up were coming in from 6 1/2, 2 1/2 and 1 hour away so I appreciate the advance warning, but rescheduling for us is not an option. However due to the long notice I am left wondering if it is their way of canceling the event if they don't have enough participation. Rusty Wallace gave me a 2 year credit for the three rides that is transferable. I now have expensive Christmas presents. read more

It took a year to finally drive as the first schedule was rained out. We bought the Qualifier package (6 self drive laps) through Groupon, and when we got there, we were able to purchase the ride along (3 laps w/professional) at a discounted price. This was recommended in the "driver meeting", and rightfully so. It helps to understand the car, where to drive on the track, when to shift etc.... before spending all your laps trying to figure it out. But then it was enticing to purchase 3 EXTRA laps at 40% off, so we did. My husband ended up spending too much, I think, and then the extra 3 laps were shorted. We got the GoPro (also highly RECOMMENDED) and it confirmed the 9 laps he was supposed to drive ended up being short by 2. The first lap which shouldn't count until you get to the start/finish line and the last lap were cut short. He didn't hear any conversation while racing except the words "your done".... It was $50 for a picture plaque. And of course we wouldn't have purchased all these extras if we didn't think it was an exciting experience, maybe even for a lifetime, but I think that's why he was so disappointed at being shorted what he paid for. Especially knowing the cars that the consumers drive go much slower than the cars you ride in with the professionals. (understandably so, but was not anticipated) The people were cordial, the drivers meeting instructor was accurate and friendly, but then it felt like it became an on-your-own assembly line. Guessing at what to do next, get your gear, what line to stand in, where the non-racers were to wait, sit, etc... We would probably do this again, but with a lot more knowledge of what's worth purchasing. Oh, and if done during the spring/summer hours ALWAYS opt for the EARLIEST time frame! We did the 10 am and it was just starting to get unbearable in the driving suits. read more

Purchased this as a gift for my wife, who was a Nascar driver in her other life (allegedly). She said she enjoyed it. Our location was Stockton, a really short track and she did 40 laps. It was her first time driving a race car. They went over everything prior to her driving the car (safety, handling accelerating and braking). We added the ride along so she would become familiar with the car which she said helped her. She said the spotter was talking to her and walking her through the turned and coaching her on acceleration and braking points. They are really professional and ensured the safety of everyone driving. As a spectator, a pop-up shade would have been nice. But there was an open snack bar with cold drinks. They provided water for the drivers. Hopefully, I'll get the chance to drive in the future. read more

If you've ever wanted to ride and drive an authentic NASCAR car you should give this a try. Everybody was fun and professional they cared for your safety you do drive with other drivers on the track which was surprising to me but fun. It seems to come into certain areas at certain times so check the website and see when you will have a chance. I don't even like NASCAR but like driving fast. read more

Absolutely awful! The organizers placed severe restrictions on how the car could be driven (very slowly). You must stay on the line they have marked out on the track. You may only use the throttle in the designated areas (well after the corner ends and you must let off way before there is a reason to). The one-way radio is turned up too loud for the quality of the speakers. It is very difficult to determine what the spotter is saying. You may only use third gear. Third is too tall in these cars for Stockton 99. Be prepared to be lugging around. The ignition box is set to 4500rpm. It is attached to the right hand side of the dash in case you're interested. At least one of the cars had weathered/cracked tires. A couple of the fire suits they handed out had huge holes in them. (12"x6" or so). The helmets were worn out. I spotted a missing bolt on one of the wheel hubs. I wouldn't bother with the $60 insurance. I'm not sure how you could crash their car when driving within their rules. After contacting their management, it seems as though the event was run as planned. Don't waste your money. read more

This was terrible. A friend bought us this as a gift, and it turned out to be a nightmare. As we were in line signing up, a lady came to complaint about the long wait and the staff didn't treat her properly. They were in denial about the fact that they were running behind, and they mentioned that people crash all the time there. They had two crashes that day. But, they insisted that they were not running behind on time. As we were paying, we were offered the 60 dollars insurance to cover costs after a $1.000 dollars deductible. We were not ready for that. A groupon gift was supposed to be a fun thing to do, and not a possible thousand dollars expense. That made us feel uncomfortable specially because you drive at the same time that people you don't know are driving on the track. Also, the fact that they mentioned then that people crash all the time didn't help us! So we made a judgement call to lose our groupon money, and not risk getting into a situation where we could lose more money. Very disappointed with how this turned out... read more

This was so awful...I bought a groupon for my father and brother for the shotgun ride for 5 laps. We scheduled a time of 1130. Checked in at 11. finally was able to go at 145. When the driver (who was great by the way) wanted to get one of us ready for the picture and ready to go as soon as we were able to hit the track, the guy that gets us strapped in said that weve already waited this long (over 2 hours) they can wait for me to have a cigarette. I was floored. I was also talked into buying the video which was described as a simultaneous video of what the driver sees out of the windshield and of my reactions. I was told to take the sd card to the check in trailer to make sure it worked. I didnt even get to watch the video. The lady put it in their computer and said it worked and gave it back to me. When I made it home I went to watch it only to find it was not compatible on my Apple. When I played it on a PC it was a choppy video of just the view of me and the driver and not out of the windshield like they had described. Their response to this was "all sales are final" I am so sick about treating my family to such a bad experience and wasting so much money. Seriously $30 for a poor quality video that lasted 2 minutes. That long of a wait and they offer very little shade for their customers and very poor facilities. read more

If I could give them 0 stars I would. I bought the groupon ride along deal as a gift for my boyfriend thinking he'd have a good time... wrong! We showed up 30 minutes before his 2:30 time & were told that there was a long wait. We ended up waiting probably an hour and a half total time before we just left because of how ridiculous this whole experience was! Not only were we waiting out in the hot sun the whole time, but we were extremely disappointed when we saw that the ride along lasted a couple minutes AT MOST! Why was the wait so long then? Apparently because they had ONE car for the ride along which was only being driven in between drivers doing the actual driving experience AND they had to reschedule people from the previous day because they ran out of time. Groupon states that the ride along experience lasts approximately an hour, don't be fooled. The waiting part itself is longer than an hour! Both the 99 stockton speedway and the Groupon ad were completely deceiving! Total waste of time, money, gas! Oh, and as another person already mentioned... the helmets and suits are disgusting! While we were waiting, I observed previous drivers who had finished take off their helmets with their heads covered in sweat. The helmets & suits then get passed on to the next person just like that! DISGUSTING! read more

I purchased the Rusty Wallace 15-lap Shootout racing experience for my brother-in-law through Groupon. He is within the maximum size limit (which is in the "Fine Print") and was fitted into a racing suit and placed inside the racing car to make sure he fit. He fit. 4 hours later in 95 degree heat with his 2 yr old daughter waiting, it was finally his time to race. They put him back into the same car, and strangely he didn't fit anymore! They explained the steering wheel was too big for him (something that should of been considered while he was being fit for the car). An older, slender woman said they had a smaller steering wheel around, but irresponsibly couldn't find it! She was being condescending; as if it was our fault he couldn't drive. After traveling two hours to the racetrack, and waited 4 hours, just to be denied the opportunity to race because of mistakes on their part was beyond frustrating. He was able to complete the Ride Along experience. I asked for a partial refund; I would pay for the Ride Along experience but wanted a refund for the Shootout experience. They said no problem, but instructed me to contact Groupon to get the refund. Needless to say, Groupon deeply apologized and gave me a refund the same day. I would give it more stars if it wasn't for that woman's lack of customer service. read more

Had a great time with the crew in Birch Run. All instructions were given clearly to keep you safe. Will definitely be using them again.

We have been there twice at MIS. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, happy to answer any questions you may have for them. An incredible experience. Would definitely recommend! Thank you especially to Gary, Brittany, and Ashley!! Exceptional customer service! read more

Went here for my 10 lap 'Qualifier' package and had a great time. The crew there were really great and all were courteous and focused on safety first. The stock cars look intimidating and were really beat up. The track is only a 1/4 so it isn't that big. It probably would've been more fun with sprint cars. The stock cars were too big for the track. The racing experience is held at the Stockton 99 Speedway. You check in, sit thru an orientation, get suited up, and get into a car. You follow a pace car and then you're cut loose. Keep in mind that it's a controlled race with only 3-4 cars at a time. Passing is controlled in which someone over the radio tells you when to past and the car you're passing has to go the the left to allow you to pass. Very controlled for safety reasons. The informational stuff you get prior to this makes it seem very exciting about actually racing, but it's really controlled. I mean you are allowed to go as fast as you can on a 1/4 track, which again is not very big. The instructor said max speed is 70-80 mph, but it seems like you're going faster especially since the cars hang really well on the turns, so it seems like you're going really fast. Also, when you check in, they have the prettiest girls trying to upsell you all kinds of stuff. Save your money and don't buy the insurance, unless you drive like a moron. The other stuff is like souvenirs. Remember, it's a very controlled race. Actually it's not even a race. It's just driving cars around a 1/4 track. If you happen to be a faster driver than whomever is in front of you, then you may get a chance to do a controlled pass. Good thing we had a Living Social coupon for $124. Fun to try once at that price. read more

Chaotic is an understatement! I bought this for my husband for fathers day, he says he enjoyed and would do it again, but at a different track than Oswego. He got shorted 5 laps and had to get a refund, thank God I counted and he had to have them count the tape and sure enough 5 laps short. If you don't have high expectations you won't be let down. read more

Rusty Wallace "WAITING EXPERIENCE" Worst waste of time.... Arrived at 8:40 am (asked to arrive 20 minutes early) for a 9:00 am race time. Misadvertised the lenght of a track; go cart tracks are much longer Conned (Persuade (someone) to do or believe something, typically by use of a deception.) into buying insurance $60...what a joke. They lead you to believe you'll need it. You're so heavily regulated over a radio about how to drive around the track there is absolutely no need for it unless you have issues running into parked cars in a parking lot on a daily basis; and if this is the case you should not be behind a wheel period. Race suits and helmets were nasty. Every previous driver had sweat through them. I intentionally brought my own DOT approved helmet and they still required me to wear their dirty helmet. WAITED almost 4 hours int he hot weather. Got on the track at 12:30 pm. After 10 minutes of driving while being told what to do in a car that had a governer on it (prevents you from hitting top speeds) it is far from worth it. I had more fun driving home on the freeway. I wouldn't not recommend this to anyone even if it was free. Total scam! STAY AWAY unless you want to sit in hot weather for 4 hours wearing someone elses sweaty close and go freeway speeds. read more

I gotta ding them another star. Its bad enough they don't just hand you a flash drive with your video on it at the track (the way Skip Barber does), I just got a notice TWO MONTHS LATER that they lost the video. They gave me a refund check, but still. Very disappointing. read more

We had a great time The lines were not that long. The training session was good and the guy was understanding that most young kids don't know how to drive a stick. He said no problem but the guy at the track was NOT so understanding and made my son feel like an idiot. My son has no interest in going again but my boyfriend LOVED it. Can't wait to schedule another trip to drive! read more

Overall this was a really fun experience and I would recommend it! Only issues we had were they started about 45 minutes late and the car my husband was assigned to drive wasn't in the best shape. But he said he would definitely do it again! read more

Purchased the 10 laps package for my husband on groupon. He loved it. Staff was really u nice and offered to take pictures from a closer view. That was really nice of them. We will be back. But next time I will be driving with him :) read more

Rusty Wallace Racing Experience - Racing Experience Near Me - Stockton, California

Bought the racing experience in 2017 as a Christmas present for my husband. It got canceled and rescheduled three times. The first time was due to lack of sunlight for the time slot which they should have known long before the day of the class. Because the racing classes are scheduled during off-season when there is more chance of rain in California. No surprise that the other two times of cancellation were due to rain. We finally got to do it this year. The fire-suits and helmets are used by thousands of people and never cleaned. They are filthy and you can barely look through the visor. My husband waited 2.5 hours for a car and other 20 minutes in the car for the 15 minutes driving. We were there at the track from 10am till 2pm. It doesn't worth it. read more

Hey, I am a retiree, have been a lifelong racing fan, and have always wanted to get into a stock car just to get the actual feel of it. Got to tell you my Ride-along with a professional driver was just great. On that first lap you think there is no way he wont hit that wall on the third turn, but the car really holds the track. The people you deal with were very friendly and helpful from signing in, getting your coverall and helmet fitted, and being belted safely into the car. I would recommend this experience to anyone desiring to feel what it's like to be driving in an actual modified race car. It makes you really admire the skill of these guys when there are a bunch on the track in real time. I will do it again anytime. read more

Well, I guess all the negatory reviews had an effect because when I went, everything was on time, my car worked fine and I had a ton of fun. Yes, you go through the rudyentation which is more like a scaryentation so that you don't wreck or hurt yourself. In the orientation you get to learn how to start the car, shift -- which you have to do just once -- and how to pass and be passed. They give you two free laps just to get used to this. Then you get fitted with a suit and helmet and wait for the track marshal to fit you with a car. Bigger guys get bigger cars, smaller guys get lower-profile ones. From the batch of 8 from my 3pm appointment two went for a ride-along with a professional driver, who took them solo on the track, 4 went in the bigger cars and drove in a group on the track then me and another guy had the track to ourselves for just the two of us. Before we got going I asked to have my windshield wiped and I asked for a backrest to bring me closer to the steering wheel and pedals. Really helps with visibility and controls. Once we got on the track and were flagged to start then the process is very simple. They have taped the "race line" on the tarmac so you just have to drive between the markings to make your way. You floor it on the straightaways and you brake and coast through the corners. You'll be told through the headphones when it's time to keep it slow to the inside of the track so you can be passed and pass. You'll also be flagged and radioed when the laps are up. Unless, of course, you were smart to buy the extra 5 laps, which is what I did. Once the other guy was off to the pits I had the track to myself and pushed the car hard! Those 12" wide tires really glue you to the track like nothing else. Now, 5 extra laps by yourself or not, you will not be able to make everything out of it on the first visit. So take it easy, soak it up, look under the hood of the cars being repaired and bring something to read or work on if you're forced to wait. To me, with an online coupon this is very well priced and well worth it. I did not buy the insurance. read more

As a birthday present for myself, my partner and I purchased the 15 lap package at Stockton 99. One more item checked off on my bucket list. We had a 2:00 start time and we we headed back home by 3:30. Everyone was extremely friendly and informative from the pre-race instructor, the girl who dressed us up in our gear, to the guy who help me get strapped in the car. Being my first time driving a race car I was a bit timid, but with radio communications from the spotter, I never felt pressured to exceed my comfort level. Took about 10 laps for me to settle in so next time (and there will be a next time) I'm going to purchase extra laps. An experience that I wish could have continued longer. An absolute kick to experience! A must do for anyone that would like to experience driving a racecar! read more

Bought the 20 lap Bull-Ride experience and the husband had a blast. They were running a little behind but they were doing everything possible to keep the experience a good one. Provided a very detailed safety/driving class, fire suits and helmets. They secured the drivers in the cars and sent them on their way. Spotter was encouraging and helpful telling you when to speed up and put the brake on. When to go up on the track and down low. No air circulation in the car and it was a hot day so 20 laps was perfect. Allowed him to feel like a real race driver. The plaques you can buy are excellent quality and so glad we chose to get one. Wants to do it again and when Wallace dirt track comes to WA he wants to go. It was a fun and worthwhile experience. read more

What a rush!!! You have to do this. You are alone in a Nascar, driving nothing like it.

Overall my husband had a nice time. The people are friendly and accommodating. I wouldn't recommend this for anybody who has a sports car because basically you can do more in your own car than you can on this track. They monitor you so even though it says you can go as fast as you want, they don't let you lap other drivers. Mind you everyone is essentially inexperienced so people are driving slow. To top it all off these are old model NASCARS with crate motors so top speed is maybe around 80 since it's a small quarter mile track. Wouldn't recommend this to anybody. read more

My daughter bought me a 10 lap package for Fathers Day. I called RWRE and added an additional 30 laps and the lady on the other end was nice and very helpful. My only complaint about the experience is.... **The quality of the cars. The first car I was put in wouldn't run when in the corners. It would die going into the corner then it would start running again when you got back onto the straightaway. I came into the pits, told them about the problem and they quickly put me in another car. The second car ran ok, but the steering had so much slack/play in it that it pretty much went where it wanted. It got a little better once you were up to speed. But if I slowed down, I had to be on my toes to make sure it stayed going where I wanted it to. I understand that the cars have to fit a variety of sizes but the seat of the second car was nearly big enough to put 2 of me in it. Then there is the rev limiter. I was up against the rev limiter every lap which was very frustrating. I wanted an experience where I could actually feel like I was going fast....in a stock car....on a racetrack. Although it was fun, it was not the experience that I had been hoping for. I will say....all of the people that I dealt with were friendly, upbeat and very helpful....a really nice group of people. Would I do it all again ?? Probably not. But if you have never experienced any kind of racing this might give you some insight to what it is like to be inside of a stock car. read more

Did the event at Michigan super speedway. Up against the rev limiter the whole time. My GPS had max speed at 120mph. Not even close to the 155 advertised. read more

Was let down with not having any idea of where to go when we got there. Drive time was 11 a.m. but was almost 2 1/2 hours later. Not even helmets. Was ok but not what expected read more

The website was having a 1/2 sale till end of February 2014. I bought the experience for my father as a father's day gift. He's more of a racing motorcycle fan, but he'll take a look at the NASCAR sometime too. He did the ride on March 30,2014 I made the apt at 12pm. Word to the wise, be there at least a 1/2hr early. The individual driving experience comes w/a crash course class & a drive around the track w/a driver for feel of the cars. I signed my father up for the driving w/out the driver. Since we got there only 5min early we had to wait for the 1pm class. However, my father wasn't too sure about driving alone for the 1st time, therefore I asked the sign in rep if he could ride along w/a driver for the 10laps I paid for. It was agreed and I was reimbursed for the liability I paid for. We may have had to wait about 45min, but the over all experience was great. The staff was talkative, offered suggestions, kind all around. EVERYONE of them were so understanding and kind about it. I'm sure we asked the same questions many other people ask all the time. Myself being in customer service, I understand how annoying it can be to answer the same questions ALL THE TIME. Didn't get that feeling from any of them. And most of the staff were in their early 20's. I'm impressed. I would suggest doing the ride along if it's your 1st time. My father had a blast being able to go 90mph in the car. He said the driver was supper nice. They suit u up like a real race car driver, fit you for a helmet, and even take your pic before the ride. I loved that they allowed me to take pictures as well and I videoed his ride from the starting gate. But I bought my dad their pic b/c it was more professional. Cons you ask???? The track is small. Smaller than I thought it would be. I was told the company has larger tracks but in different locations. Regular price for the experience is expensive. I wouldn't have even considered buying it at their regular price. Not for the track size that Stockton had. read more

I just did the 15 lap package at The New Stockton 99 Speedway this past Sunday and had a freakin BLAST!!!! I worked at this track for 2 years and finally got to drive it in a racecar. It was a great experience. The ONLY reason I didn't give 5 stars is because I think they should put drivers with about the same experience on the track at the same time. I've done 2 other schools like this and let them know - both at California Raceway in Ontario. I was on the track with 2 other cars and had to keep slowing to pass them. I understand it's a tough call, but I still had a GREAT time! All of the employees were helpful and took great care of the students! I would recommend it to anyone! read more

I can't say enough bad things about this experience. Bought this for my husband. He had a 10 a.m. appointment, we got at the track around 9 a.m. He stood there, helmet and suit on, until 3 p.m. and then they said they were done for the day. Stood there for 6 hours and he never stepped foot in a car. He even went up and mentioned something as did I. So, on a hot summer day, we stood around for 6 hours--him in a helmet and suit and I stood there and got completely burned. I even mailed a letter describing our situation. Never heard back. At least they did refund our money. Worst experience ever. Would never recommend this. I expected way better from a company with a NASCAR driver's name on it. read more

Our family chose the "ride-along with the pro" option as a Christmas gift for each other. We went together this past Sunday and had a great time! After finding the entrance to the place and signing in, we put on a jumpsuit over our clothes, were given a helmet, then waited for our turns in the race car. Two cars with pro drivers went on the small track at a time. Three fast laps around and it is over. Yes, it was a very exciting three laps! We are planning to go back and be amateur drivers next time! read more
