Richard Petty Experience

Has anyone done it ?...I'm going to Florida later this year and will not return without my 8 laps of Mickey Mouse unless someone tells me it's a waste of money.

I've always had a burning ambition to do this. (And it's getting very sore ;) )

I understand that Richard 'The King' Petty has visited Rockingham, UK and promised to bring the entourage here. I'd Still rather do it in the States though.

Just promise me one thing... Half way down the back straightaway, close your eyes for a fraction of a second and think of the Sparkster in there with ya! http://www.ten-tenths.com/ubb/icons/icon17.gif

I haven't done this yet ;) but I have talked to people who have and they say it is an awesome experience. My wife wants me to do this someday, which is good because it isn't exactly cheap--I must have a good wife! The people I have talked to have said that the biggest thing that they noticed is how much you have to rely upon and trust your peripheral vision when another car drives up next to you. Also entering a high banked corner at high speeds is a very unusual experience. They have a car lead you into the corners so that you don't enter them incorrectly and crash.
