    This was my first time at a Motorsport Park for a tracking day and it was such a crazy experience…read moreeven though I was just a passenger ! The people here are soo nice and friendly and explained the rules has a safe and fun experience. My driver lol started off in the novice session (they had middle and advanced sessions too) that lasted 20 mins each and you were able to switch to different sessions at any time if they had enough space. There was a break in the middle between 12-1pm for lunch which was provided to each driver. You basically get a lunch box and ours came with grill cheese, tomato soup, fruit cup, cookies, chips, and a drink. They also had a small shop to purchase food at a very affordable price. And yes they had bathroom's there that were decently clean lol. A full day of tracking is from 9am to 5pm and we got there a little past 10. We were able to drive in about 5 sessions. It was really cold and windy the day I went and kinda regretted not dressing enough for the weather so DEFINITELY dress for the weather cause you're gonna be outside the entire day!!

    *Disclaimer: I am a noob who brought my husband here for his birthday and have never visited any…read moreother track I could compare. I bought my husband a pass for the track, which he's never driven on before. I didn't realize he had only done drag racing and when he saw his gift, he was understandably a little overwhelmed - a helmet is recommended (which he didn't have), and I had no clue what the wear and tear really is on a car on the track, no matter what car - especially the tires. I suggested we could just sit and watch the other cars and, in the meantime, talk to the office manager just to see if he might be comfortable just trying a test drive. She was fantastic - responded to all my email inquiries promptly, and answered his questions very reassuringly on the phone. She explained how they have preliminary "crash courses" (haha .. too good a pun), and that they organize car groupings according to beginner, intermediate, and advanced. She even changed his category on the list from intermediate (which was my initial mistake), to First Timer - and that meant that he got to ride as the passenger when the first lap "introductory drive" around the course was led by their own driver. His main source of concern was holding up other drivers wanting to pass. After the test drive, he felt he could at least try one lap. He enjoyed it, and never saw any car unable to lap him in the pass zones so, he was able to go all out and enjoy himself. In fact, after a couple of rounds, he asked if I still wanted to try being his passenger on the track. Woohoo!!!! (I had a few things to learn myself about car racing .. first lesson - don't eat a hamburger and onion rings for dinner first lol.) Because he decided very close to closing time on the track, I had to scramble a bit to find the office staff to add me on. I approached the 2 on the track and they advised the office manager would come for me. Indeed he did. We took care of the necessary liability paperwork and, they didn't even add the charge for having me listed as an extra passenger. Hubby says best birthday ever. Now that's an all out 5 stars :)

    Commenting solely on "Drive the Glen"…read more Great deal and lots of fun. $30 per car gets you three laps around the track, though top speed is limited to 55 mph. That being said, if you're someone with a nice car who isn't afraid of it, show up early. Website says 45 minutes early, but you might want to be earlier. These are completely street legal cars (ex: a minivan with a clamshell on top) with regular people driving them, and the possibility of being stuck behind someone who is afraid of their own car is decent. On my run, we were stuck behind someone in a Nissan sentra doing 25-30 mph *on the straights* which was completely ridiculous. We lost sight of the pace car after one lap. You're *supposed* to keep within two car lengths, but clearly no one was policing that given the sentra, so I would do my best to drop back so I could take the exciting parts at the speed limit of 55 (e.g. the cichane, esses, etc.). It was difficult tho... 35 mph on a raceway straight is just soooo slow. So keep that in mind if you decide to go. Don't bother with tix and waiver online, they prefer if you do it all at the track, just bring a credit card. Slow drivers who have no business being anywhere near a racetrack aside, a great value and lots of fun!

    Great track. Love watching IMSA here. The facility conditions are lacking. The food is pretty bad,…read morethey make the minimum effort on the food. Place is a little run down but if you're here for the racing it doesn't matter. Best advice. Ring your our food and drinks.
