Thanks to everyone at Rusty Wallace Racing for giving my wife one of the most memorable experiences of her life. I think she is going to be talking about for quite some time. My wife was one of the first drivers out on Saturday (0800) and she was still talking about it last night (Sunday). That way you have a feel for the track prior to going out there by yourself. If you were to do this, I would definitely recommend the ride-along. They were very patient and worked with her, not only getting her on to the track, but, off safely.

So, age and manual transmissions are not an excuse. My wife would kill me if I gave away her age, but, she is older than me and I am (50).

If your wife/gf has any interest in racing or cars, I would highly, HIGHLY, recommend this as a gift. As my wife was blindfolded until we were literally at the registration desk, and had no idea what she was about to do, she was absolutely floored when we revealed the present. My boys and I purchased a lap package for their mom as a 2018 Christmas gift.GREATEST GIFT EVER.!!! First, I would like to say that everyone at the track, from the personnel at the registration desk to the pit crew, was very friendly AND patient. To see the abandoned cell blocks, offices, etc creates an iery feeling. We were overwhelmed and didn't know what to ask.Īll in all, this is a unique adventure and a great one to experience. I also wish the staff would have engaged more by offering to share information (stories & facts) instead of simply asking if we had questions. I think it would have made for a richer tour. In hindsight, I wish we would have chosen differently.

In fairness it would be a huge place to maintain.Īlthough I did see some guided tours available (maybe only certain dates and times?) we opted for the self-guided experience. This certainly isn't an insult but instead my ignorance. I guess I had assumed they had worked to keep it up. The condition of the prison is quite bad. To be honest, we weren't exactly sure what to expect and it ended up being quite different than we imagined. We decided to stop by the Old Joliet Prison and glad we did.

Our family has been learning about Route 66 and exploring Illinois' route history.
