Do you have prior road course experience?

I drove in downtown Dallas for years...does that count? Lol.

I have had some experience on small courses years ago when I worked for a tire company and we would do tire challenges for different manufacturers, but nothing professional by any means.

I’ll be going for speed and track times as well as just having fun so nothing too serious.

I’m 6’2” but have driven 911’s, vipers, and Ferrari’s before with no issues. Never been in a Mclaren before though.

If you are short to medium height you could toss the names into a hat, pick 3 and have a heck of a good day. No losers.

If you are tall you may want to Google headroom and legroom impressions for the cars to find 3 that will allow you to drive comfortably enough to enjoy the experience fully.

Congrats on having a really great wife. You probably have a lot of good days. Kudos to her for giving you one that's very cool and memorable . Hope it goes even better than it sounds (if that's possible).

Yeah she is great! Not sure why she picked me but I’m glad she did.

Finally got around to doing this last weekend and it was a blast!

Drove the GT3 and the Huracan.

The GT3 actually handled better and was more comfortable, but that exhaust note from the lambo was ****ing amazing.

Will definitely be going back. Probably for GT3 on max laps allowed.

i had to reschedule. I get to drive the 570s next weekend at PBIR.

Hopefully can add the GT500 to the session as well.

Did you do video package?

Yeah I got the video, it’s kinda blah though honestly.

The Ferrari was down due to a trans issue or I would have picked that over the lambo.

Even the instructors said the Porsche was the best car for the track out of all they had.

Thought about the viper, but he said they just leave you in third the entire time. Said it bogged on a couple turns but was easier than shifting.
