We arrived early, as was suggested. There was no waiting to check in and plenty of space to social distance while we waited our turn. There was only one rider ahead of us so it wasn’t long. The gear was clean and the car was wiped down after each rider. The staff seemed to enjoy their jobs and were excited for us to have our experience. I’ve always wanted to know what it felt like to hit the turns at such a high speed and now I know! Also, climbing in and out of the window with a helmet that makes you feel like a huge bobble head is pretty entertaining. As with most things, pictures and films don’t hold a candle to being there. They even arranged the perfect weather for us. Thank you, would highly recommend.

Response from Virgin Experience Gifts

Hello, Cynthia! We greatly appreciate you taking a moment to share your experience with us and for your recommendation! I am beyond delighted to hear that our partners at the track were able to exceed your expectations and provide a safe but enjoyable adventure. I know how hard our team works to provide you with clean gear, a sanitized helmet and an unforgettable drive. I am so thrilled you were able to witness first hand their excitement. We truly work with the best of the best and I will be sure to pass along your kind words. You are very right! There are no pictures or videos that can truly capture this experience but it is so great to know that you took away some amazing memories. Now that you know how it feels to hit these turns at high speeds, we would love to help get you behind the wheel! Kind Regards, Brianna

It was amazing. I highly recommend the double, since it takes a good three laps to get used to the speed...after that, the last theee laps are pure enjoyment!!! Would love to do again!

I'm so happy to hear that your father had a great experience! That's what it's all about.

Way too long of a wait to take my ride along. I arrived early. I waited for 3 hours from start to finish to get into the race car. Very unorganized. Not enough cars running to accommodate the large amount of people. Very little explanation from the NASCAR workers regarding the delays. Cloud 9 Living was very nice and professional. However, venue was an extremely disappointing experience.

I highly recommend this experience to everyone. It is worth every penny that it cost. I am looking forward to doing it again.The whole thing was very well-organized, it went of like clock work.

My wife surprised me with six laps at Talladega for my 50th birthday. She wanted something that would take me so far out of my element that I would forget that I am 50. I was surprised when we got there, and the next thing I knew I was strapped into a car. Before we left the pit, we were already going 70 MPH. Before I knew it we were pulling "G"s and flying around the track. It was so fast I couldn't tell where we were as we whizzed by the stands. I did know we were only a foot away from the wall at nearly 200 MPH. It was a rush! I have the best wife ever!

Well organized. Wait time was acceptable. Experience was great. Wish the driver was more personable and able to answer questions like speed and car info. Would do it again.
