Testimonials

“My wife surprised me with a trip to the Indy Racing Experience in Orlando. This was by far the most exciting thing I have ever done. I truly felt like I was a race car driver for the short time I was there. The staff was excellent and the experience was top notch. I would highly recommend this to any racing fan. It truly is a fantasy come true. I would like to thank (crew chief) Mike (Horvath) for making this trip memorable and I will definitely make it a point to visit the track whenever I am in Florida. Thanks guys!

"I just returned from my Ultimate Driving Experience - it was Awesome!!  It was great to be able to do both the drive and the ride-along. Talking with some of my co-drivers, we all had the same reaction when asked to pick which we liked better - "They're both great!"  Having the chance to drive an Indy car on the track is a lot of fun ("give me one more gear!") but doing the laps at high-speed gave me a whole lot of respect for those that do it for 800 turns with 32 other cars on the track. I'd call it a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but I want to do it again!  Kudos also to the entire Indy Racing Experience crew - a very, very professionally run operation.  My wife joined me for the day, and after seeing all the people, equipment and work that goes into providing this thrill ride, she said "That really is a great value!"  It's funny, as I sit here typing this I can still smell the ethanol!   I'm sure it is just the memory that has been burned into my brain.  Thanks again for the Experience. It was well worth it and I would recommend it to anyone!”

“Unbelievable!!  That’s all I could say when friends ask me “How was it”.   For someone that has been a spectator in Turn 3 for every Indy 500 since 1974 (I was 8), it was an amazing dream come true to allowed the opportunity to drive on the most famous race course in the world where Foyt, the Unsers and Mears drove. I felt I was pushing the limits of gravity when I drove; but then, riding in the two-seater, I was taken to another world of racing…..and to think they race 2 and 3 wide at even faster speeds is incredible.  I have an entirely new respect for the drivers now.  Shonda and the crew were great at helping my wife give a birthday present of a lifetime.  Thank you all so much and thank you to Indy Racing for allowing such a unique experience.”

"It was over too soon.  Just when I got comfy trying to steer smoothly through the corners and applying the throttle exiting the turns the yellow light came on and the ride was over.  'Just one or two more laps please,' I screamed inside my helmet.   Check this one off my bucket list.  The Indy Racing Experience is by far the most professional, efficiently run and fun driving experience in the market today.  The access that you give to your guests for photo taking is phenomenal.  My wife, who now considers herself a professional photographer, took some awesome shots both in the pits and on the track.  Thanks for a wonderful day.  I’ll be back with my friends soon.

"I went to the Walt Disney World Speedway on January 28th with (intention of) only doing the two-seater ride along, but once I saw the stand alone cars there, I couldn't resist and went for a drive as well. All I can say is that it was worth every single penny. It was an experience of a lifetime, and I hope to do it again. Driving the car gives you an exclusive feel for the kind of physical and mental preparation drivers have to be under, and I don't mean just IRL, but F1 and NASCAR as well. I've earned an entirely new respect for oval tracks and the proximity of that wall!  Everything from getting buckled in by the crew, pushed away, 'yelled' at to be careful with the gearbox... everything was just fantastic.

"The two-seater was the dessert after a delicious meal. I had the chance to experience what it felt like to be an open-wheel car driver, and in the two seater, I was able to experience the physics behind being an open-wheel car driver. It was fantastic!"

"I can't stop grinning. Almost two weeks after driving an IndyCar in Orlando I can still see the track unreeling in front of me as I dove into turn one, tried to get the line right in turn two and accelerated out of turn three and down the front straight to do it all again. I've done high speed autocrosses and driven plenty of fast cars but none of them had anything approaching the feeling of driving an open-wheel race car on a track. The Indy Racing Experience is huge fun and gave me a "speed fix" I really needed. The only problem is now I'm looking into taking an open-wheel racing course to feed what could become an addiction!

"And helping make it a great time was your totally professional operation that's staffed by friendly folks who want to give people a first-class experience. I'll be back."

“Just wanted to send a quick note following yesterday's drive at IMS.  Many, many thanks to everyone who make this available and put this program together! 

For a boy who grew up in Indiana in the 70s, there was little that meant more than basketball and the Indy 500.  To watch both was tradition; to participate in basketball was typical.  To drive at the speedway was the one Hoosier element I was sure to never attain. At least not until yesterday.

On September 24th, 2008, I was able to drive around the greatest racetrack in the world, on the exact paths of the heroes of the Brickyard, in an Indycar with motor screaming, blood pumping, eyes wide, and hands gripping. 

Simply, you have provided the ability for that boy to live out the most incredible dream from his youth.  It's an experience I will most certainly never forget and I thank all who make this possible.”

“I want to compliment the crew member who was handing out the helmets and, in general, supervising the entry of the riders into the cars.  When I experienced claustrophobia, he very patiently made me feel at ease, offered support, and made suggestions as to how to cope with the situation.  Because of him, I went back in the car and had a wonderful ride and exhilarating experience.”
