Racing school testimonials

"This is to thank Dale Jarrett and the Staff of his driving adventure school. My Dad, brother and myself completed the 20 lap class October 15th, 2006. This was the first time my brother and I had driven a car of this type and it was one of the most amazing thrills of our lives. Our father, Jim, had a promising racing career ahead of him in the early 70's which he gave up to be the father and provider we know and love. He built a car for Butch Miller early in his career. He's 62 now and an accomplished business man and restores antique cars in his spare time. For him this was the realization of a forgotten dream to race the "big dogs" My brother and I clocked him with the stop watch and his best time was 54 secs. When he got out of the car, well, the expression on his face cannot be put into words. Thank you so much for making this possible for my Dad! "

"The Dale Jarrett Racing Adventure was an absolute thrill. The staff was fantastic. My heart almost pounded a hole in my chest. I'll see you again next year. To the staff that was at Talladega on Nov 12, 2006. Thank You very much. "

Craig Holmes Toronto, Canada

"I just wanted to comment about our experience on Sunday November, 12 at Talladega. We were very impressed with the entire experience. The entire staff was courteous and friendly. Even all the people that were waiting were very patient and friendly. Eight of us went down. All eight of us did a ride along in the morning. It was great! Then five of our party drove in the afternoon. They all loved it, This is a great experience that everyone should try. We were all very impressed with the safety procedures, friendly staff, and excitement of the racecar itself. "

Morgan Hillis, Huntsville, AL

"I would like to thank you for the most amazing time & exhilarating rush at Atlanta Motor Speedway last Friday. During our Season Openers, both William and I truly had the experience of a lifetime. Thank you once again! "

Brittany Simmer Great American Days

"Absolutely the most fantastic experience of my life. Makes the wildest theme park ride look like child's play. The pre-race dually drive-a-round was worth the entire cost. Then the real 6 lap drive can't be explained in words. Thank you for the greatest thrill of my life!!!!! 173.16 MPH top speed. Highest in my group. Gives you a completely different appreciation for those guys on Sunday. Thanks again!!!!!! "

James Osborne Acworth, GA

"I wanted to THANK my super-fantastic instructor Wild Bill for helping me run 176.38 mph at Talladega in the #15 car this past Saturday! It was my first experience in a NASCAR and it was incredible!!! I also want to thank Mr. Eddie Bruner, test rider for Harley Davidson, who gave me the opportunity of a lifetime. I will recommend the Dale Jarrett Driving Experience to all of my friends. PS: the 10 laps I did really make me want to race a NASCAR for real! "

"Yesterday I drove at the Talladega Superspeedway. I am not new at doing exciting things. As a USAF officer, I have flown over 35 types of military aircraft, primarily fighters (F-16, F/A-18, F-15 and F-5). I have been subjected to unbelievable aerodynamic forces, from intentional out-of-control flight to forces 9 times gravity. I have parachuted from "heavies," own a 1972 Cuda 340 and have had the pleasure of driving a brand new Harley Davidson off the lot. But nothing I have ever done, and I mean nothing, compares to what I experienced yesterday.

To have full control of a racecar doing upwards of 170 MPH, well, I'm still on an incredible high and can't wait to do it again. Thanks for the experience of a lifetime. The only thing that would have made it better is if my father had been there to watch. Then again, I know he was looking down and smiling. I'm sure I made him proud. Thanks to all the folks at the track and the Dale Jarrett team. It's a memory I'll never forget and can't wait to relive."

"I drove in the DJRA at Talladega yesterday, Sunday, September 14, 2008. It was absolutely amazing! My only regret was that I only went 6 laps. It was over too fast. I have watched NASCAR for years, but I gained a new respect for the drivers yesterday. The instructors were great and gave me an experience that I will never forget. Even better was the experience that the staff gave my son. He turned 10 yesterday. He is totally consumed by NASCAR and could probably commentate some of the races. I let the staff know that it was his birthday and asked if there was anything we could do to involve him in the experience. Mike Fulmer went above and beyond anything I could have hoped for."

Dale Hurst - Montgomery, AL

“Hey everyone, I did 60 laps at Atlanta Speedway yesterday June 30th. I had a blast…Everyone was so friendly and nice.”

Barry Bradley

“I just wanted to say a hearty ‘thank you’ to all folks associated with the racing adventure. I was at the June 24 12:00 p.m. group in Kentucky and everyone was great! It was a thrill of a lifetime for me and I wanted everyone to know how great it was to be treated so nicely. With Dale’s name associated with it, I expected it to be nothing short of classy, and it was. You guys are great and I am recommending it to anyone who asks!”

Mark Spencer

“I just wanted to express how much of a lifetime dream came true for me when I got to go to Dale’s racing adventure. It is something that I will never ever be able to explain to my friends how it felt to be in the driver’s seat going 150 mph! Thank you Dale for having this for people like me to enjoy!!!!”

Brenda Lowry

“The Dale Jarrett Racing Adventure is a class act. I just wanted to tell you about Mark who helped me last weekend at Kansas Speedway. My employees at work had given me a ride-along for Christmas last year, something I had always wanted to do. When I went to get in my car with my helmet on and it was so close, I said I could not do this! Mark asked me a lot of questions and suggested I get into the car without my helmet. He put me at ease and I was able to complete my ride. The drive was wonderful but Mark made the difference…I turned 57 today and I was able to have a smile on my face since that ride. Thanks again.”

De Ann Weuve

“I recently attended a session at the Kentucky Motor Speedway. My experience was unbelievable. It was a gift for my 60 year birthday. A total surprise. My family did not tell me until the morning of my most memorable time of my life…I would like to thank you for my experience and want you to know that the whole day was perfect from the members of your staff to the equipment that we drove. My son also drove and he said it was unbelievable as well.”

Ken Kaiser

“I drove in April and May of this year and we were passing. I came for 2, 20 lap sessions and rode with Eddie both times. We passed 4 or 5 cars both times and were wide open by the 8th or 9th lap. What a blast. Planning on coming back hopefully 2 more times before the end of the year. Still kicking myself for missing the half price offer you had at Talladega in June or July this summer. The attachment is the ad I wrote for E-Bay when I sold my bike for my last trip to Talladega in May. Had tons of questions about your school too. Very addictive. Best money I ever spent and hands down the most fun I ever had and I’m 52 and have had a lot of fun. I had also asked Tiffany about earning laps by referring customers to you. Thanks for having the best driving school around.”

Steve’s ad: “They said 1monkeywrench, you’ve always wanted to do it, so give it one shot before you get too old and live to regret it. So I made the call to Dale Jarrett Racing Adventures and booked a session at Talladega Superspeedway this past April. BIG MISTAKE. Driving a real Nextel Cup race car between 170 mph and 175 mph around the high banks at Talladega was more fun than I could handle. I can’t eat, I can’t sleep, or go a single hour of the day without thinking about it. I’m even skipping meals just to save up money. I now have a monkey on my back and looking for a way to finance my addiction for REAL SPEED. Wife says I can go back to Talladega in May but I have to sell my motorcycle, so here it is. NASCAR…‘How Bad Have You Got It?’ WARNING! This bike is BLACK & LOW & LOUD.”
