I have to laugh reading all the people that gave this 4 Stars and then went on to say how much of a Blast they had: Not sure what need to be done to get 5 stars from them (makes me wonder how many Stars their "partners" would get when they'd say they're great, but that's another topic...lol). Personally, I go to Vegas a lot (1 to 4 tmies a year) and finding something to do during the day is pretty hard THIS was an awesome change!
A friend and I drove out to the Speedway area while in Vegas to visit a few of his friends for Lunch, then went there after (without any plans to actually drive a car).
This is a totally different kind of rush for me, I'm more use to racing a Quarter mile (I have an old Camero that runs mid 8's at better than 140 mph) and also driving on the Highway like a bat out of hell (I made Vegas from, SFV area of LA, in UNDER 3.5 hours this time).
Here I drove the Ferrari 430 Scuderia and all I can say is WoW!
They have an option to buy an extra lap for $50 (and had a deal that day where IF you buy it you get an extra lap free): so I ended up going 7 laps. I have to admit it took me at least 3 laps to stop feeling like a complete wuss, I had to laugh when the instructor was encouraging me to open it up to what I thought was going into the turns (The way I drive, I normally have the passengers climbing the walls: but this car had me for a bit...lol). I still wasn't completely use to flying up to the pylons then breaking so hard "into" the turns but I got pretty good and flooring the gas out of the turn (I was hitting 125/130 MPH down the main straight away)....Nice!
The Class before hand was informative, but it's kind of difficult taking it all in when you don't have a full understanding of what your getting yourself into. They send you out with a Driver in a Porsche SUV and I have to say THAT in itself was pretty impressive: he pushed it a little to give us an understanding what they meant in the class.....Nice driving
I can't wait to do it again!
Great times if you're looking for a Rush
