2018 Rusty Wallace Racing Experience, Joliet Il, Chicagoland Speedway
My boys and I purchased a lap package for their mom as a 2018 Christmas gift...GREATEST GIFT EVER...!!! First, I would like to say that everyone at the track, from the personnel at the registration desk to the pit crew, was very friendly AND patient. As my wife was blindfolded until we were literally at the registration desk, and had no idea what she was about to do, she was absolutely floored when we revealed the present. If your wife/gf has any interest in racing or cars, I would highly, HIGHLY, recommend this as a gift. My wife would kill me if I gave away her age, but, she is older than me and I am (50). And, she can not drive stick. So, age and manual transmissions are not an excuse. They were very patient and worked with her, not only getting her on to the track, but, off safely. If you were to do this, I would definitely recommend the ride-along. That way you have a feel for the track prior to going out there by yourself. HUGE bonus and well worth the money. My wife was one of the first drivers out on Saturday (0800) and she was still talking about it last night (Sunday). I think she is going to be talking about for quite some time. Thanks to everyone at Rusty Wallace Racing for giving my wife one of the most memorable experiences of her life. Side note, even though their mom was racing, they also had the some exotics there for an auto-cross and my boys could NOT take enough pictures. It was a great day all around.

Birthday gift
I bought this as a birthday gift for my husband, who is a fan of all cars and of fast driving, but not a big Nascar fan. He loved the ride along, which he said really got his heart pumping because the car never stopped drifting. When he drove himself, he said it was a little annoying with the instructor in his ear telling him to slow down one second and close the gap the next. When he was finally able to pass the slower car in front of him, he really enjoyed himself, but by then, he only had a little more than one lap left. All in all, he understood why the constraints, but it wasn't all it could have been for the price.
