RICHARD PETTY DRIVING EXPERIENCE/
THE INDY RACING EXPERIENCE
Test Track is for sissies. The Richard Petty Driving Experience, and now the Indy Rac-
ing Experience, both located at the WDW Speedway, give you a chance to do the real
thing in a 600-horsepower NASCAR car. How real is it? Expect to sign a two-page waiver
that features words like DANGEROUS and CALCULATED RISK before you climb in.
At one end of the spectrum, you can ride shotgun for a couple of laps at 145 mph ($105
including tax at the Richard Petty Experience; $109 including tax at the Indy Experi-
ence). At the other, spend from 3 hours to 2 days learning how to drive the car yourself
and race fellow daredevils in 8 to 30 laps of excitement ($425-$1,330 including tax at
the Richard Petty Experience; $399 for 8 laps at the Indy Experience). Note: You must
be 18 years old to do this. Richard Petty operates from 9am until 4pm, the Indy Experi-
ence from 4pm until dusk (both daily). For reservations at Richard Petty Driving Experi-
ence, call & 800/237-3889, or head on the Web to www.1800bepetty.com . For
reservations at the Indy Racing Experience, call & 888/357-5002, or head on the Web
to www.indyracingexperience.com .
