May 8, 2010 I brought my son Tyler there for the SRE.
Tyler is a wonderful, 16 year old, autistic boy. He is the heart and soul of our family, and we do everything we can to be sure he gets to do everything he wants to do in life, even if it is “all in due time”.
Tyler’s dream is to drive for Dale Earnhardt Jr. But since that is highly unlikely, instead, for his 16th birthday, I got him the SR experience and, in June he will come to the Raceway for the Sprint Cup race.
For the last few weeks, he has been excitedly talking about how he was going to ride in a real Nascar race car. All I could think was that I wish it would be everything he wanted.
I have to tell you, because of your staff, it was that and so much more! They were kind, sensitive, without babying him, and especially understanding and attentive. Tyler ended up in his favorite race car #88 and specifically, Marie and Andy were amazing in getting him ready and making sure he had a great time. The pictures were amazing and by the end of the whole experience I was balling happy tears, seeing him climb out and excitedly run over to tell us about it. (Best Mothers Day weekend ever for me)
You are extremely lucky to have such a wonderful staff! Please be sure to thank them both again for me!
Maybe someday we will be back so Tyler can learn to drive
Best,
Grace Wolfe
My family and I just returned from The Stockcar Racing Experience yesterday and I can't say enough about the total experience. I received my seat ticket for Christmas and was happily anticipating being able to drive one of your fantastic stockcars (20 mile). I also signed my son up to drive and my wife and my son's fiance to ride.
The day was gorgeous (May 5th, 2008) and there was electricity in the air. Your staff was phenominal! We all learned so much about the cars and the intricasies of driving. Your program and staff are so professional and put you at ease. What an experience!! We, all, had the most fantastic time. I'll never forget my wife's face when she exited the car. She was clapping and whooping it up ( Thanks to Diamond Dave, her driver.
Thanks again, WE WILL BE BACK!!

My wife gave me a 3 lap ride along for Valentines Day, and we visited the track this past weekend, on July 11th. After my ride along, I insisted that she sign up and try it out too. We had the time of our life. Your whole group is world class, and made the experience truly amazing. We want all of our friends to go with us the next time so they can experience it. We both want to thank everyone at your organization for an experience we will never forget!

Mr. Jesse Roverana I took my son and a very good friend to Pocono last Saturday to experience your program. This is something I had wanted to do for many years and just got around to it. I was so impressed with your operation that I had to sit down and write to you and let you know my thoughts. From the lady that booked my trip last June through my entire day on Saturday it was simply outstanding. I have never been treated better by everyone I came in contact with. I have been involved in business most of my adult life and I have never seen the emphasis you put on customer service. It was worth every penny and I am already planning my next two events. My hat is off to all of your staff they made my day and my entire family thought the same. Have a great day.

What a wonderful experience my sons, Scott, Jim and John, Dave Moyer and I had at the Pocono Raceway a couple weeks ago! My sons certainly pulled a fast one on me - what a surprise. Words cannot express what a thrill and pleasure it was to come racing down the straight ways at 160 mph. It was a thrill of a lifetime. Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to experience such an adventure. Everyone should try it at least once.

Today I completed my 20 mile program and it was unbelievable. You guys were great. I would like to particularly note that all of your instructors gave me a level of confidence which was helpful when
considering the instrumentality I was operating. Your program is a very responsible, real-deal program. Thanks again.
Sincerely, Robert Ferrara (20 mile Super Speedway Experience)
1st time in a Stock car and...........
That was the fastest THINKING I ever did in my life. The speed was only a means of measurement. When life begins to bore you from that lack of true mental challanges.......get behind the wheel of a stock car. I overcame fear and pushed my mind and car to to it's limits. Your only restrictions were MY limitations. THANK YOU for that. Every lap made the last lap's education null. Forcing you to experience and learn quickly.......all over again with every single lap. That's UNREAL! If I wanted just speed.....I'd find a drag strip, hang on and go straight. I'll be back MANY more times.
Oh PS!: I appreciate your driver's 'knowing" what I can handle. BIG thumbs up for keeping me at my limitations and not watering anything down for me. Next time........maybe just 120......maybe the 165 I pulled or maybe more. I trust your instructors to keep pushing wherever I am on that particular day.
Thanks again– can't wait for the next time!

 I gave my husband a gift cert. to drive on the 20 mi. 8 lap program & he absolutely loved it. We spent the whole day at the track, I went on the ride program & we're both coming back again. This time I'm going to drive!

"…It was a 50th birthday present from my family and friends. I have been a fan of NASCAR racing since I was a kid…It is impossible to explain the absolute joy I had at the track. First let me say that the program far exceeded any expectations I might have had going in…I also would like to let you know that I think the entire staff went over and above their duty to make the day truly memorable…What an incredible program you have developed for those of us who love this sport…I'll be back and I plan on telling everyone that StockCar racing Experience at Pocono is the place to be if you really want to know who it feels!…

Words cannot describe the feelings of being behind the wheel of a stock car! Thank you for giving me one of the greatest experiences of my life. Driving is a passion to me and driving at Pocono has increased my passion! Please thank all the instructors and people involved in your program. I hope to be back again! Thanks, again!

Wow! What an awesome experience!!!
I gave my fiance, Mike, the Ride-A-Long, as well as, the 20 Mile Drive Program for his 40th Birthday. We arrived at Pocono Raceway on Wednesday June 23rd for his big day. From the moment we arrived, everything was great. Everyone we ran into was extremely helpful, friendly, and professional. Mike personally talked to Jesse, who was informative and took the time to reassure him of all the safety measures and also gave him some history of the program. Steve, who instructed Mike on the workings of the car and safety harness, was also quite knowledgeable and most helpful. His main instructor, who I believe was Vince, was awesome!!!!! He really explained the ins and outs of what was going to happen and added a little humor, which helped relax Mike and prepared him for what he was about to experience. He did the Ride-A-Long, and when he was done, he was a little apprehensive about actually having to now drive the car himself. He went back to Vince, who immediately put his concerns to rest and reassured him that he would be fine and that the driving experience would be totally different than being a passenger. Once Mike got into the car and started driving, he didn't want to get out!!!! Eight was definitely not enough!
We both cannot thank you enough and we will be back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After months of waiting, our day to drive finally arrived. An absolutely beautiful day in the Poconos and our adrenaline was pumping. After participating in two driving experiences at other tracks, we all were anticipating a fabulous day.The initial class room instruction we attended has, by far, been the best and most comprehensive educational session incorporated into one of these driving sessions. Not only did we learn about the track layout and how to handle emergency situations but the van ride around the track proved to be extremely worthwhile as well. The instruction given outside the classroom, at the car, was really informative. We were educated as to why and how the cars are set up, where all the safety equipment is located and how it is used.It was time to drive and some of us elected the 3 hot lap ride first. That ride was the best indicator of really how the car should feel and the line we should drive. We all took our turn at driving, some more laps than others, and all agree that Stock Car Racing Experience and their friendly, courteous personnel has been the absolute best Stock Car driving experience so far.
Thanks to all of you, our day was filled with excitement and an experience of a lifetime.

When Sr. Instructor Steve told me today of what to expect . LISTEN to him HE KNOWS what a great time I had. I received the experience for a wedding gift from my wife . I will never forget it. I highly recommend taking the ride if I didn't I would have never expected the car to handle like that. On the fifth lap I was at 8000 rpm and wanted more. Great time, Guys I WILL BE BACK ...And for the people who say roundy rounds are boring strap one on take a few laps and you will have a lot more respect for the NASCAR drivers....Thanks again and will see you next year with some friends...
