Ride of a Lifetime

Las Vegas Motor Speedway is one of four race tracks that is home to the Richard Petty Driving Experience. and is the only one west of Charlotte, North Carolina. Along with offering a variety of driving packages, fans can take a ride consisting of 3 laps in a Winston Cup class car for only $90.

This is something every race fan must do!

This is me climging into the #3 Goodwrench Services Chevrolet.

This is me sitting in the #3 Goodwrench Services Chevrolet.

This is me climbing out of the #3 Goodwrench Services Chevrolet.

Here I am posing for a picture while I wait to get into the car for my trip around the 1.5 mile race track.

Now I'm climbing into the passenger side window for my ride.

After a lengthy wait on pit road while two groups of driving experience students finish their laps we're speeding down the frontstretch.

And heading toward turn one...

And back onto the frontstretch for the last time.

As quickly as it began, the ride was over. Just like the old days of stock car racing before pit road speed limits, we dropped of the banking between turns three and four and came speeding down pit road where we stop for the next ride.

Eventually, all good things must come to an end. As I emerge from the car, the next passenger is waiting to begin their Ride of A Lifetime.
