Did the Indy Car ride-a-long. Very easy to figure out. Plenty of signage to lead you where you need to go. Short wait for my experience. Helpful and friendly workers to get you where you need to go. The ride was incredible. Was in great hands with Bill and my driver. Went 6 laps and recommended it over the 3 lap…experience was a total of 5 min on the track, but it was an awesome 5 min. Really felt like we were racing!!
