sandusky speedway

My husband and I love going to the races. This park has been here forever, and it our time away from the real world. We love it here I would highly suggest upgrading the stadium areas where the customers sit. Other than that it is a great time.

My sister and I bought the 10-lap experience on Groupon for our husbands. They ended up having a great time but were pretty nervous at first... The first hour is a meeting with the owner explaining the rules, how to drive, etc. He really stressed the need to buy the insurance for $60. If you don't and you crash, it's gonna cost you $15,000 that you have to come up with before they'll let you leave. Who can do that?! My brother in law was pretty spooked by it, so he bought it. My husband refused. Fortunately, he was very cautious on the track! Altho I watched the drivers for awhile, and no one was ever close to having an accident. And my husband asked someone and the only thing that's happened so far this year was a spinout with no damage. Chances are, you're not going to need the insurance. It's a short track, so you never go over 80, and even that is pushing it for a beginner. They were in full on racing attire, with helmet and headset. They looked very official! They were just starting to get the hang of it when their 10 laps were up and wished they could have gone longer. My husband's only complaint was, he felt like the owner had told them how to handle the car one way, and the man actually overseeing the driving and talking thru the headset was telling him something different. Overall they had a great time and are enjoying the bragging rights of driving their own race car. I think they'd do it again. Another couple was watching with us, and he was really jealous he wasn't doing it! It did look like fun. I'd really like to ride with one of the pros! They were impressive to watch.

I received the 15 lap experience as a gift. Before going, I upgraded to 20 and added the 5 lap ride-along... both upgrades are highly recommended! The ride-along gives you the opportunity to feel how the car responds a bit on-track, and to really observe how to drive the racing line. Be sure to take advantage of the many deals available online i.e. Groupon. These "special" prices make the experience well worth the dollars. If you plan to drive fast and push yourself, for piece of mind, I felt the insurance option was well worth it, too!

I bought this for my husband as a gift. He loved it! It was an awesome thing to do and definitely something he will do again!

I purchased the 15 lap experience prior to arriving and the added another 5 laps upon check in for 20 "hot" laps. The staff was wonderful and helpful. I had a fantastic time and would do it again without hesitation. It was the most fun I have had without a doubt. If the opportunity to do it at a NASCAR track, that would be the icing on the cake. That's to everyone at Rusty Wallace Racing Experience!!

Driving the go-karts was fantastic! Made you feel like a kid again!! Enjoyed very much ....will go back when in area.

I was looking for something new exciting and different to get my fiancee for fathers day. We have two children and one on the way so it is easy to get stuck in a rut-I was looking on groupon and found a discount for the Rusty Wallace Experience Sandusky and knew this was the perfect gift!! I purchased the 5 lap package but a few days later I added 5 more laps for a total of 10 laps. The website gives you the option to purchase additional laps, insurance, and photo and video packages. You get a email confirmation and a reminder email a few days before your experience. I was unable to get him a racing appointment right away-the first available was a month later which was ok. There are two packages a rider experience and a driver experience-I got him the driver experience because I knew he would love to drive the racecar himself! Race day finally came and he had so much fun and wants to go back. He got a picture of him in full suit with the car and also got a "in car video" which shows him driving and the road. Both are about $60 each. Overall it was a great experience just a bit costly. I am sure he will be going back for more laps soon!! Great experience.

From beginning to end it was an amazing experiance. I did the ride along the driver was great didn't hold back on the track. The whole group were very helpful and cared about our safety. I will tell everybody to try it. Me and my brother are already planing to go to michigan raceway to do the driving this time. It's a must for any race fan and for anyone you want to become a race fan. Thank you very much to Rusty and all his staff.

Its not the fanciest place to go but it is a nice fun thing to do with the family just make sure they youngins have ear plugs!

one of the first weekend of the season for them and we had a lot of fun ... sat and had conversation with a staff member while kids were playing ...great staff and friendly ...we will be back when we visit again

When we left our hotel we stopped her to fill up. We were very glad to see the they had a great price on gas.

I ordered this for my husband as an early Father's Day gift. He absolutely loved it! The entire staff was very friendly and helpful. They guided you every step of the way. We arrived about a half hour early and they took him right in. My husband is ready to go again!!

Organized stations that move you through easily. Staff are friendly and helpful. They seem genuine with their efforts to give you the full experience. Highly recommended experience for adrenaline junkies.

Got this for my dad for his birthday. We arrived about 45 minutes early for his appointment but they let us right in. He went straight over to the dressing area and got a fireproof suit and helmet. He did the side by side 5 lap ride along. They actually did about 8 laps. When we went to check his video card that we purchased, it hadn't recorded so they offered us money back or another ride to get a video. He chose another ride, he loved it. Everyone was very nice and helpful. Definitely recommend.

Surprised my boyfriend with a real Nascar driving experience.I got his ticket on Groupon for half price. There are 2 options available, the self drive and the ride along. I chose the ride along because he tends to drive slow on the road and didn't think he would get the maximum thrill unless someone else was driving. Appointments are necessary. Ours was @ 11:30 but didn't actually get into the car until about 45 minutes later. Watching the people's expressions as they exited the cars made the time go by quickly. Full fireproof suits and helmets were a must as they made sure the seatbelts were securely fastened. Be aware there are weight and girth limits. One gentleman waited 6 months to take the experience and almost had to for fit because they couldn't get the seat belt to lock. He was embarrassed and devastated. After 15 minutes of working with it they finally got it to latch. The ride along was for 3 laps, but my boyfriend said it seemed more like 4 or 5. He commented as he exited the car "awesum, I can't catch my breath, just awesum". He would recommend this to everyone. More laps can be added for a charge. The self drive does have an additional option of "vehicle insurance" that can be purchased before the ride. Probably a good idea as one self drive person hit the guardrail while we were there. They do take a picture as you enter the car all in gear and make a nice wood plaque up before you leave that has 2 pictures on it and the Sandusky Speedway for a bit pricey fee. Absolutely a must for the want-a-be Nascar lover or anyone that has a need for speed!
