The early Father's Day gift was a hit - highly recommend doing the NASCAR Racing Experience! Dad and I had a blast at Daytona, and I still can't believe this is actually a thing that you're allowed to do.

We're not really racing fans, yet this trumps playing one-on-one with an NBA player at Staples Center in my book!

Definitely a memory with my Dad that I'll cherish forever.

That looks like a blast!

Wow. That looks like incredible fun. Great way to spend time with your Dad as well. Kudos to you.

brandrea · 17 May 2021, 12:30 PM

I’ve done this too Jess and you’re right, it was a blast

What surprised me was just how steep those corner banks are. When you’re headed toward them it looks like you’re driving into a wall

TheVTCGuy · 17 May 2021, 12:45 PM

Next time Take me with you

BNA/LION · 17 May 2021, 01:03 PM

Very Cool thing to do with your Dad!

kieselguhr · 17 May 2021, 01:12 PM

That’s awesome!!! Glad to see you and your dad having fun JP! I would kill to be able to spend time with mine.

Boopie · 17 May 2021, 02:05 PM

Wonderful! I’m glad you got to do it with your Dad. Very special.

Dubshack · 17 May 2021, 02:21 PM

Would love to go to a NASCAR race some day, hot dogs, beer and crashes

walds11 · 17 May 2021, 06:36 PM

You had a blast with your dad. Awesome! This is on my bucket list.

Haha, couldn't agree more Brian! Definitely a must-do in my book.

Thanks for all the kind words, gents.

Andad · 17 May 2021, 08:53 PM

Cool.

mountainjogger · 17 May 2021, 09:40 PM

JP. You are clearly insane. But in good way!

Great picks my friend.

~JJ · 17 May 2021, 09:59 PM

That’s very cool! How fast were you going at top speed?

ttomczak · 17 May 2021, 10:07 PM

That had to be a blast!!

Thanks! There are rev limiters on the cars, so I was able to hit 141 mph and my dad got to 128.

Like Brian said above, going over 100 mph around the banks as a non-racer felt pretty insane. I asked my dad what he thought and he immediately goes "that was SCARY!" with the biggest smile on his face.

enjoythemusic · 17 May 2021, 10:18 PM

Wonderful, congrats on having a great present for dad.

RichM · 17 May 2021, 10:32 PM

What a cool thing to do for Fathers Day.

Thanks for sharing.

I bet that was fun... wait til you get that Corvette. Take it on the track!

Speaking of the Corvette, put this on your to do list, https://www.springmountainmotorsport...riving-schools

You’ll be with a lot of like minded people.
