Richard Petty Experience, USA
Has anyone tried the Richard petty Experience Days at either Daytona or Walt Disney. Got the ooportunity to go later this year and wondered if it was worth spending the money on the 8 or 16 lap events?
Any views, thanks? R's Jim |

I did the Disney Richard Petty Experience year before last. I had the $300 half day package as a birthday present and I had great fun. If you are a racing driver, then you have to be a bit patient as there's a lot of tuition before you get to drive the cars. If you aren't then put on some steel undies because there aren't any two seat cars...
LMK if you want more details. |

I did the Walt Disney drive a few years ago - expensive, a little nanny-ing (like most "drive our cars" experiences) and not enough laps, but a great experience - how could 500bhp not be? I never appreciated NASCAR before this and have been a fan since. The trick is too back off on your last lap, to make some distance to the pace car, then floor it - I got 125mph on the data logging!
Also did a ride-along at Daytona, which to be honest was a bit dull - I timed the lap at 1 minute exactly, so it was 150mph average (and they lift off quite a bit for the corners). Driving it could be a different matter. |
