Rookie experience purchased for my 40th birthday. All the staff were very friendly. Everything was explained in detail, with a few laughs along the way to settle any nerves anyone might've had. The ride itself was simply awesome. reaching speeds of 122 mph might not seem too fast, but these are no ordinary road cars!! Discounts are available for 12... more

I recently took part in a rookie experience with the Richard Petty Driving Experience in Orlando. The staff and facilities were A++. You start your experience with 45 minutes of instructions and a hands on look inside the NASCAR you'll drive. Then it's out to the one-mile track for further instruction, getting fitted up with a helmet, neck brace etc.... more

After a great ride-along at Daytona, I purchased a DVD of the ride. My credit card was charged, but I never received the DVD. After my first phone call, they said they would try to locate the the footage because they "lost" it. No response. My second phone call gave me hope. They said they "found it" but it was... more

The folks at RPDE could not have been more helpful and accommodating. I made my reservation for the Rookie Experience several months beforehand and had absolutely no problems. Knowing Florida's weather, I scheduled the 8 AM session, but unfortunately it rained like crazy the night before, so it took until 9:30-10 to get the track dried out. However, the bright... more

I went for the rookie experience at Disney World Speedway, Orlando. I cannot recommend this highly enough. The word experience is over used in Florida but this really does live up to that description. The staff are professional and helpful the instuctors are great, the facilities are ideal and the cars are fantastic. If you are thinking about a driving... more

Gave this to my husband for a 20th wedding anniversary present. He is not a NASCAR fan but I knew he would appreciate the driving experience. I gave him the Kings Experience of 18 laps. We were there on Sunday, July 22 for the 8am class. There were only 5 men in the class. A very small class. The entire... more

I'm a huge NASCAR fan and I was eager to do the $99 ride along for months. With two young kids towed along for the view, taking a half day to drive $399 was out of the question. I was pleasantly surprised to be able to ride in Earnhardt Jr. #8 car - that's my boy! How cool!!! And lucky!... more

I did the "riding experience" in Orlando at the WDW Speedway. What a let-down! I was looking forward to this for months. The track is old and abandoned-looking. It's only one mile per lap, and he only took me around two times (they said it was supposed to be three but I counted two.) I'm not even sure how fast... more
