  They have the biggest ripoff available. I booked a drive for $400, could not make it at that time. They gave me a $200 credit. Ok lost $200. Called to do a ride along with the remaining bit and they said it can only go towards the expensive drive, which was an additional $200. I had a hip replacement since and wanted my dad to experience it instead, with the credit and they said no. Never going to that place for anything again. Be careful how you book this!

  Let me be perfectly clear . . . I do NOT blame the Pocono Raceway or the Organizers of this attraction for the weather and I do NOT blame them for closing down a wet track. My gripe is with their process for handling these weather cancellations and their lack of empathy or helpfulness to those disappointed people that paid a lot of money for the experience. I only lost a vacation day, food for 2, gasoline, and a hotel bill. There were others that lost airfare and much more. Here are the issues: There are no rain "delays". If you book in advance, they stick you into the 8am time slot which is probably the riskiest since the sun is stronger at noon. Instead of respecting the poor souls that got stuck with 8am and making the lucky last minute booking 12pm customers share the pain of a rain delay, they CANCEL the 8am and if the track dries, all the other time slots are honored "on time"! Apparently, they don't charge enough money to pay OT for the employees having to stay late. If there are no open slots/cars for the times subsequent to your cancellation, you're out of luck. Ironically, they give you a "rain check" for one year. I guess it pays to book at the last minute to get a 12PM slot. In my case, there were a "couple" of openings at 12pm but no process for securing those slots. They couldn't say exactly how many slots there were and NO PROCESS for securing them. There were people coming from Maine and Arizona. Who gets priority? Who knows? I guess they make you draw straws or duke it out. Let's put it this way .. . even if they have a "process" for handling rain cancellations, nobody tells you what it is. Basically, they say "it's cancelled, it's not our fault, and don't let the door hit you in the back side on your way out". I don't doubt the experience of the drive itself is 5 stars all the way. The instruction seemed very good and they did a great job stressing safety. I only wish I didn't have to wait another year to enjoy it as I wasted my last vacation day. They should at least have a schedule ready and allow you to rebook a Saturday opening without extra cost. Poor management.

  At 72, I wasn't sure I'd be up to doing this but everyone was patient and friendly and made it so enjoyable. When it was over I was ready to go again. I took the 3 lap ride along, then the 10 mile ride. I had no trouble keeping up with the lead car because the instruction was very thorough and he explained just what to do. All I can say is that it was GREAT!!!

  You can't imagine it! You can't understand it! You just have to experience it. Upon purchasing the experience I sort of thought it was a little expensive. After the experience I think it is too cheap. The staff was really good and nice and thorough. The place was very well kept and the cars and equipment were all very good condition. No complaints here. In fact trying to find a time to go back since the 10 miles was just enough to get used to it. I imagine a 20 mile experience I could really get comfortable and take the experience to the next level. <3 this experience and can check it off the bucket list.
