I went to Disney the other day and saw the Richard Petty Track what a rush. Man we have to go as a group. I asked the price to ride the cars. They told me $399.00 you drive the beast yourself 8 laps or $80.00 the instructors drive you 3 laps. I saw people driving the cars at 150 + man it looks so coo. The lady told me if we got 30 or so people to sign up they would give us a discount on the $399.00 I dont know how much. Also Im sure they would give us one on the $80.00 one for 3 laps. I just want to see how many people would be interested and then we can pick a date. I think this is a great experience for everyone. Most of the prices I think are quoted without taxes. http://www.wdwinfo.com/recreation/petty.htm


For 8 laps you drive by yourself at $399.00

It's pretty fun I drove one last year. You only get to mid 120's, I wish it was 150's. They start you off in an instructional class inside then you go out to the track for more instructions before you drive. It's a nice rush when your behind the wheel of a stock car.

 

Wow, that sounds really cool. I would be interested in going for sure.

Seems like the smart thing to do would be get a ride with an instructor to pick out the lines and stuff like that, and then drive the car yourself for the eight laps. Sounds like fun. Good thinking, Steve!

It makes sense that they would have governors or something on them. Otherwise people would be crashing them all over the place. No three-wides on the main straight, I suspect.

 

Jb- There's really no need to do a ride along first if you intend on driving. They let one person out. You follow behind an instructor and follow his lines. Once your half way around the track they send another car out following an instructor so your at opposite ends of the track. The only downfall to this is if the other guy is slow it will hold you up. If you drive you'll be glad you did it's a fun time.

 

Just get a ride with Gman's or my car(whenever it gets done). Our prices are much cheaper.
Sounds like fine. I'd be game.

 

I'm used to fast cars... I drag raced on the NHRA circuit for about ten years.

I'm just not used to the roundy-round toilet bowl stuff...

 

from what I have "heard" that with the pitch of the track, its almost like a straight away the whole time if you not going 180mph.

 

The way these cars are setup the turns seems like nothing. I never took my foot off the gas you go high in the straight aways and go low in the turns but don't let off the gas.

 

Sounds like fun to me...

 

yes that is exactly how I saw them do it. Well maybe not everyone has the money to do the drive alone but some of us could get the 3 laps with the instructor. Just start a list with names and lets see how many we get before I start calling to schedule a date for us. So someone copy the list from the start and lets see how many people we get would make a good outting for the day. We can bring our own coolers with drinks and food.

 

i would just pass his a s s and ram him into the wall, rubbing is racing right!!??

how much??

 

You'll need food but they provide drinks, water and gatorade.


haha I might have to go if Jeremy is going to drive.

 

All the rides you want for $38k. LOL. Get 100 people and you've paid for the car. Plus it will go alot faster than 150mph.
