I just took 6 laps in one of these today. What a rush! My top speed was only around 140 MPH, but this thing could have done much more! The acceleration and handling are just incredible.
It wasn't cheap (about $400), but I highly recommend it. The've got real NASCAR cars as well.

Cool. I've done the Richard Petty experience at Lowes Motor Speedway. Open wheel would be a totally different feeling.
It was an experience to do 140 on the big oval but way too short for the money IMHO, 8 laps, 40 seconds each, less than 10 minutes from climbing in the car to getting out, for $400. I can do all weekend on track with my own car or a full day of driving at the BMW PC (non ///M cars) for the same amount.
