Richard Petty Driving Experience - Daytona International Speedway

[spartanktm]

I just did this a week ago at Daytona and I wanted to drive. It was the most amazing experience. I got up to 148mph.

how calm in the richard petty drivng experience you cant go full speed? the guy who normally is in front of you why does he go so slow? its not an experience when your going 50 mph

@FlexaySexay If you're a passenger like I was then you go 180+, but when you drive you only go 140 so that's why I chose passenger. So the guy we were catching up to was driving by himself.

I was hesitant about trying this but my Dad kinda forced me to....he's a big nascar fan...I'm not. Anyway I went thru some safety thing and got suited up. I remember when I was in the car I could barely move my head. I did about one lap and I screamed at driver to stop...I'm done....too scary

I will never forget the look on the face of my Dad when he saw me come in early...if I remember it was a 3 lap deal. It was a look of disgust and embarassment...to this day that look is still there

I rode in one of these and you can't show what it's really like in one of the cars without being there. It is really the ride of a lifetime..they say 170+ but at times it feels like alot faster

I rode around as passenger today for 99$ at my local track. =D

[crawfordguard]

@cpcomedy314 Oh nice, what's the track?

[cpcomedy314]

cool present

[parachutepilot7]

i rode as a passenger last saturday and it was$144 but if you want to drive a full 28 laps it was $800, and as a passenger he told me that we went about 175 mph

[crawfordguard]

This was actually a graduation present, but I'm pretty sure that being a passenger is around 500 and driving is around 800 but they only go up to 140mph.

If you don't mind me asking, how much did it cost?
