The only downside was that the meeting/party rooms don't have doors, which made it a little difficult to hear our presentations over the game noise and general excitement from other guests. Having doors would have definitely enhanced the experience. That said, the food was great and the service was excellent. If you're local to Richmond, you'll especially appreciate the artwork on the walls--it features creative representations of some well-known Richmond legends.

Got the experience as a Christmas gift last December. We decided Richmond was the place to do it…read moresince it is so close to my house. The ground school was VERY detailed, and the instructor was obviously knowledgeable without being dry and boring. Also, after the class, I was convinced to do the 3-lap with a pro add on to learn the track. That in and of itself was amazing. Tim, the pro driver, did a lap and a half, demonstrated how I should run the track, showing throttle use, and pointing out the lines I should be taking. Then, Tim did a lap and a half his way, as a race driver. I was totally blown away. Next, I was put into the #18 car, and belted in. With all the safety gear, I was grateful to have the spotter on the radio telling me what was going on. I was able to drive to the extent of my comfort level (which was NOWHERE near the pro driver), and still had an amazing time. Finally, I convinced my wife to do a 5 lap ride along. This time, Tim didn't hold back. He pulled a 5 laps and was clocking some great times. She had a mile wide grin after the ride. Definitely worth every cent. The team is 100% professional and safety oriented. Also, all safety gear is provided. Suit, helmet, and HANS device. I look forward to trying this again in the future, maybe at a longer track. Also- GET THE INSURANCE. It's not much more expensive, and I'd rather spend that and MAYBE $1000 if something happens, rather than $15K without.

From start to finish, this is an AWESOME experience and would 100% recommend it to anyone who likes…read morethe thrills in life. I booked this experience for my fiance' as a birthday gift since he has an interest in NASCAR and boy he literally could not stop talking about it! Seriously, it was a week later and he was still RAVING about his racing experience. *does a little dance... Go me, Go me, Go me* I had been eyeing this experience for some time now for him, but lucked up and decided to finally book while they were having a BOMB A$$ 70% off sale (if they weren't having the sale, I highly doubt I would've booked as the normal prices are hella steeeeeppppp). Before I booked, I did do some research and found out that the team does offer additional laps that can be purchased at the track, as well as the insurance, Go-Pro filming option, photo plaque, and ride-with-an-instructor option all at the track. If you're hesitant on adding an option (or two, or three), I'd highly recommend waiting 'til you get to the track so you can speak with an employee (or even call them) just to make sure that option fits your needs, as I mentioned the prices are not cheap. With that, I went ahead and booked online the 8-lap experience for him for $149 ($156 after booking service fees) #WINNING. FYI - The regular rate for an 8-lap experience is $499! You do the math... The day of the experience, we did arrive late (dang traffic), but they graciously moved us to the next time slot. Also, while checking-in, I did go ahead and purchase the insurance for $60 (if you don't purchase, you will be liable for ANY and ALL damages prior to leaving the track which could run up to $10K-$15K, but with the insurance you only pay the $1,000 deductible which is also due prior to leaving the track), an additional 5-laps for $99, and the ride-along experience for $69. I would highly recommend getting all three of the items because: a) who has $10K to drop at a race track for a damaged NASCAR (I mean, who has $1K to drop for a damaged NASCAR, but $1K is better than $10K); b) the additional laps are great because whomever is driving is not gonna want to get out the of the car with the initial laps purchased; and c) the ride-along is with an experienced driver who shows you first-hand where you need to brake/accelerate around the track. Prior to even getting anywhere near the track, we did sit through about a 30-45min safety and track orientation for everyone (bystanders and drivers) which was super helpful (shoot, I wasn't even driving and I learned a few things about the car and track). You could really tell that the gentleman giving the instruction loved what did everyday as he was patient, had a little humor, and most importantly expressed the importance of being safe on the track. After orientation, the drivers put on their suits and helmets and we made our way to the track. There were two lines - one for drivers who purchased the ride-along and another line for riders who didn't and were ready to drive. My fiance' let me know that the ride-along was super fun because duh you are riding along with an experienced driver who is pushing the car way faster than you'll ever push it on your own (lol). Then it was game time! It was finally my fiance's turn and off he went. Honestly, the 13 laps went by so fast and I was just on the side. I'm so happy I purchased the additional laps! When he got out of the car, the expression on his face was priceless! On the sideline, you are able to film and take photos, so I was glad I did not have to purchase the Go-Pro package (although we did bring our own Go-Pro, but they would not allow him to place it in the car for safety reasons). If you're wondering, the Go-Pro package provided by Rusty Wallace is mounted to the TOP of your car and films it from the outside as you drive - no inside camera action as in real NASCAR. Overall, we were thoroughly delighted with the experience and would most definitely do it again! Thank you Rusty Wallace Racing Experience and Team!!

From the beginning of planning all the way to the end of the tour Anne provided nothing but exemplary service!! Anne is a very kind, caring and sweet individual who is passionate about what she does as shown in the details of the tour. In addition, to her many talents she surprised us with singing for us while visiting Westover Church! She has a beautiful voice!! Anne answered all our questions before hand expeditiously and was available by Facebook messenger, phone and email. Coordination and getting in contact was super easy. We had brought our own decorations with us to decorate our friend's bicycle for her birthday and Anne did an awesome job!! The birthday girl was ecstatic! Ahead of time you indicate your height so that your bike can be adjusted. If you prefer you can utilize your own bike. I find it more convenient to use her bikes and they were comfortable, had three gears and a nice basket to stores your things. Included in the price are some snacks which consist of a peach or apple and seasoned pecans or walnuts and a water bottle. I recommend bringing an additional water bottle or bring a camelbak if it's super hot. Anne was nice enough to start our tour earlier as a request to avoid the hotter parts of the day. We began our bike adventure from Upper Shirley vineyards with stops along the way to learn some history including VCU Rice Center, and passing many plantations. It's a lovely tour that allows you to bike throughout america's history despite it's harsh realities. Majority of the route is along part of the capital bike trail (which the capital trail is 52 miles). Although you won't be biking the entire route, the tour is 14miles. You do have stops along the way. It's do-able if you don't necessarily work out on a daily basis, but fair warning you may get tuckered out. There's some slight inclines nothing major but my out of shape self was beat, but I did it! :) At the end of the tour you return back to Upper Shirley Vineyards. Anne provides nice cold wet towels infused with lavender to cool off upon your return. You have the option to add lunch for an additional price. We chose this option and it's well worth it!! Anne has a good network within her community. The food at Upper Shirley was delicious it included an entree, a glass of wine, and two shared appetizers. I think the tour itself includes the wine tasting only and you can possibly exchange the tasting For a bottle of wine instead. This was a great way to celebrate! I highly suggest it for anyone who likes to bike, likes history and or enjoys wine! A unique way to celebrate birthdays, do a family outing, bachelorette parties, girls' day out etc and or date nights and to stay active, enjoy the outdoors and explore! PSA - (could stand for personal instead of public service announcement haha) Do NOT try to take a selfie on a bike while riding on a rocky or gravel path. Trust me. I got cocky, because I did it the first time on the ride and no issues and on the way back I took a second selfie and wiped out! The wipe out H-U-R-T, but Anne was super nice about it and was very compassionate and caring. She ran to my aid and cleaned me up and bandaged me. She even offered to get her car and take me back. But I said I was okay to bike back and I was. Even after we got back to the vineyards she attended to me. So you know you're in good hands if a mishap should happen, even if it is your own fault :/ Sorry Anne! Thanks for taking good care of me!!! Recommendations: Bring an extra bottle of water or Camelbak if it's a really hot day. Use sunscreen. Bring sun glasses Wear only sneakers or sandals that are secure that have a back strap to it. No flip flops Have a good time! It truly is a wonderful time! Be safe, don't act like a fool like I did ;)
