This is the first weekend and believe there will be others, will get all the info when I go. From what I understand so far, you get a couple of warm up laps and then a 10 lap main. I believe it is against other people. I met John Piker last year when we were doing the inspection, while they built the raceway. My company sponsored his car for awhile and i set up and run his Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/piker28p . Cool dude.

John Piker: Cars are ready to go please PM me if you are coming. I'd like people here at 9:45am let have some fun. First pic.

John Piker: Also giving ride alongs $50 four laps on the half mile 100mph + and the scary part you get to ride with me haha. Second pic.

Wow what a day! You get 5 practice laps to get a feel for the car and then they turn 3 of you loose to race a 10 lap race. You are not racing the big track, you would build way to much speed up. Not as easy as it looks, I almost spun my car on the second lap. Was a blast All safety equipment provided, helmet and nomex. They have a short class on what to do and basics on controlling you car. Doesn't look like we are going fast in the video, but it was plenty fast when I was inside the car! The ride along in the race car was unbelievable. Emily and both my kids took the ride along and loved it.
