I had a blast!!!!!! The whole experience was awesome. This was my first time driving a corvette and first time on a track. The c8 feels so planted and I loved how it would rocket out on corner exit. I felt very capable in this car and was nice following the instructor to get the proper line. The instructors were awesome as well and I took in all the feedback they gave me to get faster. I watched a lot of YouTube vids before coming to get a look at the track and learn the visual cues of the racing line. Every lap I felt more comfortable. I loved the elevation changes in the track as well. I have a deposit for a c8 and can’t wait to get one and start tracking it. My fam also liked the viewing deck which was nice and the kiddos loved the go karts. It’s a win win with the fam happy as well!! Hopefully after covid it would be great to have in car instruction as well. Thanks everyone!!

My husband and son are into cars. They watch tv shows about drag racing all the time. I finally went to a race thinking I would be bored out of my mind because cars are not my passion. Well needless to say, I have a new found respect for this sport. It was exciting to watch cars race down, it keeps your adrenaline pumping as a spectator. Families were everywhere, making memories with their children. Generations spending time together. The hospitality of the staff is amazing. As a spectator, I highly recommend it for a fun weekend experience.
