These measures include providing all drivers with a disposable head sock, disinfecting every steering wheel after every drive and commonly touched areas as well as providing soap in all bathrooms to wash your hands. All employees will be required to wash their hands frequently and utilize hand sanitizer often.

Upon check in for your experience, our partners will give a digital no touch temperature check and require all guests to wear a face covering at all times. The drivers meeting will be limited to only the participants but all spectators are welcome to remain outside for the experience. While at the track, our partners kindly request that all guests maintain social distancing and if you have any flu or cold-like symptoms to please reschedule your experience.

Do I have to know how to drive stick shift?
It is recommended, but not required. You will have to shift from low to high gear.
How will the program be structured?
Following a one-hour pre-drive orientation/training session with the driving school's Crew Chief and professional instructors, you'll drive a real Indy-style race car on a Super Speedway for a timed session. Total drive-time will depend on the lap-length program purchased. For this experience, there is no lead car utilized and and no instructor in the car with you! You will have constant, 2-way communication with a professional racing instructor through a state-of-the-art, in-car racing electronics radio system.

Yes. If you come up on a slower race car, track personnel will assist you around the slower portion(s) of the group, using techniques and instructions covered in your pre-drive orientation session.
Can I choose my own racecar?
No. Unfortunately, the driving school cannot guarantee which exact cars will be at the track on a given date, nor can they promise the specific car a participant will be assigned to for his/her drive. Each participant is assigned to a car with careful consideration, based on individual height and weight.
What is the policy on rain-outs?
If your experience is canceled due to inclement weather, the driving school will contact you and either immediately reschedule you for another available date, or issue you a gift card that you can use to later reschedule at your convenience. A refund will not be issued due to rain-outs.
