Richard Petty Driving Experience, Alabama, United States

4.5 (6 reviews) Spent Ranking #6 in Talladega Auto Racing Tracks

Excellent experience

I got a trip to this experience as a valentine's present from my loving wife. Their basic package is a 3 lap ride along where their professional driver gives you 3 laps around the track. Once there they offer a variety of upgrades where you get to drive yourself. To be honest I'm not really a Nascar fan, but the idea of driving a real race car around the Talladega race track was too tempting to pass up. If you can afford the upgrade then do it. This was an amazing experience! I loved it. The ride is a thrill like nothing else. If you've ever wanted to know what it's really like to be a professional driver racing on a real top-tier race track then this is as close as it gets. It's a once in a lifetime experience. I loved it. This is well worth the money.

    Fastest I have been in my life.
    There is no way to describe this experience other than to try it yourself. You will head into a 30 degrees sloped wall at 165 MPH. What a rush, especially when you see the skid marks in turn three where drivers before you have hit the wall. There is about an hour meeting with the crew cheif. The crew cheif will give you driving instructions on what driving line to take on the track. Pretty much stay between line 2 and 3 all the around the track. Go high down straight away, go low around the curves. I did not let up on the accelator the whole time I was driving. One piece of advice, do not let anyone drive this course unless the are experience driver on the road.

    Husband Birthday Gift
    I bought 4 laps for my Husband for his birthday. He Loved it! The experience was one he will never forget. The only downside was the price. Way overpriced, but fun.
