I want to get a gift card to a place where you can actually drive a race car. Not NASCAR cars though. Ideas?

Question

It's for my dad for father's day. He LOVES cars, but hates NASCAR. Does anyone know of any places I could check out??

Answer 1

skip barber, bondurant, etc.  Bondurant might be more like NASCAR.  But It depends on where you live.  Autoweek usually has lots of adds for them in  the classifieds.  Be prepared to pay some money.  I'm guessing but probably about $1,000 / day.  Never actually been to a driver's school.

Another idea might be go-karts if there are any places around you.  Also some auto clubs (bmw, porsche) run track days with his own car so maybe you want to get him a membership to something like that.

Answer 2

Check out http://www.iwannagoracing.com/  This site will have what you're looking for. If he's more into Ferarris and Porsches than race cars, then I'd recommend http://caranddriverlive.com/
