For Christmas my lovely girlfriend bought the Rusty Wallace racing experience driving package.

I've Never being in a stock car before so it was quite a amazing experience.

This program is not a free for all and there are few rules you are forced to follow (for obvious reasons). You have a spotter pretty much telling you what to do at all times. ( when to come up on the track, when to pass, how you are doing, etc.)

Even after using a back booster pad, when i got out on the track i ended up working the brakes and throttles with my ankles.(im 5'8")
I would have been a million times more comfortable had id been a few more inches closer. Not a huge deal for my first time in a stock car though as i was just acclimating to the whole experience. The cars are governed to 4800 rpms if i recall, and they made it clear as day that downshifting is a big no-no. Probably because a few people have looped a car downshifting incorrectly.

The speakers for the spotter were way too fucking loud. So loud that every time he spoke, the speakers distorted hard and i couldn't understand hardly anything he said.

Leaving pit lane my spotter was feverishly telling me to get into 4th gear. Probably so people don't grab the wrong gear and loop the car while coming out of the pits.

On the track, there are two lines of tape you have to stay between, which which is the "racing line". This is to keep you off the wall and for the pros to do there ride-alongs on the outside.
