Richard Petty's Driving Experience

[Tinkerbell10403]

Hello Everyone!
I am looking to find out some more information about the Richard Petty Driving Experience. Some of my questions include:
1) What is it like/ did you enjoy it?
2)How long does it take?
3) How much did it cost?
4) Is it worth the money?

TIA for any help you can provide!!

Never did it so I can't give advise on whether it was worth it or not, but we did get some info on it.

Here is a link on the different experiences and the cost

My DH did the Ride Along expeirance. It was 180 for 6 laps. He loved it. the best time ever! He said that he couldn't even tell that he was going 120 or whatever the speed was. He had a great time and if i can afford it next time i will get him the whole experiance!!!!

It used to be $99 for a three lap ride along at great speed. My dad did it and loved it. There was a www.mousesavers.com link for a $49 deal but I don't know if that's still around.

There are packages where you drive but they're much longer and much more expensive.

I'd do the ride along if I were you!

My DH and my stepfather did the Rookie Experience on our Christmas '04 trip and they both LOVED it! My mom and I booked it for each of them as their Christmas presents and it was a huge hit

They both seriously considered buying extra laps for more time on the track and they would both love to do it again!

We had a DVC or AP discount so it was just under $400 for each of them and while allears states that it takes 1.5 to 2 hours, by the time you add in the time to get there and the amount of time they want you there early (before the program starts to take care of all the paperwork for all of those participants that don't fill out and bring the paperwork sent to them beforehand ) Plus the time it takes at the end for getting the photos and time to get back to your resort, it was the whole morning for our guys. They got back not long before lunchtime after doing the 8 am time.

Totally worth the $$!
