For many years I have
wanted to drive a NASCAR
NEXTEL CUP car. I researched
the listed stock car racing schools very thoroughly on the internet.
My name is Stan Unsel,
and I am the Event Coordinator of "A Race Fans Dream"
Stock Car Experience. My goal is to form groups of 5 or more
people per trip so Special Group Rates Apply. You can
Ride-along as well as drive.
I discovered that many
of the schools made you follow a pace car or an instructor and
passing was not allowed, your speed was limited and you were
not allowed on the track with any other cars. On some, the price
was high and the number of laps you were allowed to drive was
very low. At some of the schools, you were responsible for damage
to the car or at least the first $1000. of damage.
That's when I chose
Buck Baker Racing School
because you get the
most laps, at the best price with the fewest restrictions.
In April of 2006 I had
the pleasure of attending a Buck Baker Racing School 1/2 day
Ride & Drive session at Darlington Raceway. The staff and
instructors were great to work with. After a short classroom
session (about 30 minutes) we were taken in a passenger van around
the track to get us familiar with the exit and entrance to pit
road and how to enter and exit the turns for the quickest way
around the track.
We then got into the
passenger seat of a race car and the instructor drove us around
at race speed and showed us the line to follow to get around
the track quicker. Five laps later I was driving with the instructor
seated in the passenger seat and for the next five laps I was
getting comfortable with the car and track. I then pulled into
the pits, the instructor got out of the car and said, "Remember
what I told you, now let's see what you can do". When you
start that engine it is an awesome feeling. For the next 15 laps
I was in control of a 600 hp stock car and from my view out the
windshield it was just the very same thing that the NASCAR drivers experience at Darlington on Race Day.
That's when I started "A
Race Fans Dream".
You too can have that
unbelievable experience at any of the six tracks with the Buck Baker Racing School. So join me, Susie Baker and Buddy
Baker for the thrill of a lifetime. Don't wait too long, some
sessions fill up fast. DO IT! or you'll regret it. Your life
will never be the same.
