The tour was wonderful and very informational. My husband was so excited and thoroughly enjoyed the laps around the track. I really like the ability to "give" my laps to my husband which made the experience even more memorable. This was a gift to him for our 25th Wedding Anniversary and I could not have picked a better gift. All of the people were pleasant and great. Thank you very much for helping make this a wonderful and lasting memory.

Never to be forgotten! The only problem was we went so quick it was over too soon, it would have been better if one could opt for more laps - at a reasonable cost - before starting. Good value and a great experience.

Awesome experience. Bought an extra three laps at the track.

A fantastic experience, but would possibly do the tour with pick up at the Hotel as it is $50.00 each way for taxi fare normally, but cost us $100.00 to get there because the taxi went to the wrong entrance, more detailed explanation on address details and directions are needed, other than that this was certainly a tick for the bucket list..

"Totally awesome" as they say in America, loved it to bits. Shown around their garage, saw cars getting maintained with working mechanics. Shown the ins and outs of the cars, then it was time to suit up and ride at 165mph. The 3 laps went to quick but you can pay for a couple more or even upgrade and drive the car following one of the pro drivers, staff were very friendly and helpful. A plaque and movie of your day can be brought to mark such a truly excellent day. Goes to show that their is more to Las Vegas than the strip. Marks 10/10.

Awesome!!!.........no more needs to be said really other than book the ride along with tour because getting there could prove a pain for some,not only that you get to see the workshop too which for petrol heads like me is ace! I even got to drive a new Mustang California on the day too for free as FORD were doing demos.

Review by: Pat W	April 2011
Very enjoyable. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and the driver gave me a whole new appreciation for what it actually feels like in a Sprint Cup Car. Your discount coupon obtained on line made this experience affordable to us. Thank you!!

awesome thats all I can say. A great experience with a great company. Would do again just longer.

Thank you so much my husband loved the experience. Thank you Viator for making the booking and surprise easy. Will most definitely use your company again.

Review by: Brenda S	February 2011
Well we really enjoyed the experience. You get to drive onto the inside of the track. Even the crowd, in our case just the photographer/wife got to be there too. The pit wall was lower than we expected. When the car started up it didn't seem very loud but wow when leaving the pits. You're really strapped in tight. G force is awesome. The Viator price was the cheapest we found. Booking with flight cost $122...Booking at Richard Petty Ride Along was $109...Viator was $88. I guess a couple of more laps would have been nice. But the next step will be driving now that he has the bug!

Review by: Paul C, United Kingdom	April 2010
The drive along was pretty fun, although at these speeds, 3 laps is over very very quickly. The staff and drivers are all very friendly. The drive itself was enjoyable, but felt a bit leisurely. This wasn't because we were going slow, it's just that after you've taken your first corner, you know what to expect and the rest of the drive is pretty much identical. It's around 100 and so all in all, is a decent value for money. I imagine children and huge speedway fans would enjoy it more than I did. They also offer a 5 hour programme where you can drive 18 laps yourself. I imagine this would be a lot more exciting, but because of the time involved, that will set you back around 1100.

Review by: Patti R, United States of America	March 2010
WOW what a RUSH!! This was an awesome tour... Highly recommend it for anyone seeking a fun thrill. I was a little apprehensive at first, but after the first lap my fears were gone and I thoroughly enjoyed the thrill my driver was GREAT! The staff was polite, funny, helpful and always very safe. If you want to get off the beaten path and do something EXTREME while in Las Vegas, I would highly suggest this tour.

This is a great experience well worth it.

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	March 2010
This was fun but over with way too quickly - 3 laps go fast in more ways than one.

Review by: Wayne J	March 2010
This is a great experience well worth it.

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	February 2010
We are locals, and I bought the ride along for my 27 yr old son's birthday. Although he said it was exhilarating, he would have liked it to be a couple laps longer for the price. Still a neat experience.

It was great! Everyone was very friendly and helpful. I'm looking forward to driving alone!
