You will have a blast. Several years ago, as an anniversary present, my wife got me one of the Dale Jarrett racing adventures at Talladega. They only had NASCAR type stock cars. I got to drive 10 laps with the instructor in the passenger seat. It took HOURS for the adrenaline to wear off.170 miles per hour through the 33 degree banking. There were other cars on the track and I was able to draft up and make few passes including one going low and under a car in the banking. It was awsome.

The driving different cars sounds cool. Hope you have a great time. I am still trying to figure out how to get another run at one of the schools.
so were the cars manual trans??
Yes. It was a NASCAR-type stock car limited to about 165 mph. 4-speed manual but you just run it up through the gears and then leave it in 4th.

Not too crazy about Nascar... But it might provide good learing experience.
Saw guys going around Long Beach Grand Prix in a special 2-person Formula1 racer that cost $10,000 for a few laps!
Been thinking about joining one of those clubs where you have a choice of exotic, muscle and sports cars to drive.
