$249 - Race a Real Stock Car for 12 Laps, Save $250

The Deal

Travelzoo subscribers can get behind the wheel of a professional stock car and race around a 1.25-mile super speedway with this deal from Rusty Wallace Racing Experience. For $249, accelerate down straightaways and take turns in a real race car like the one driven by Wallace, a legend and recent Hall of Fame inductee. This 2.5-hour "Shootout" package at Gateway Motorsports Park in Madison saves $250 on the regular price.

The deal provides Travelzoo subscribers with an authentic racing experience, from the custom Oakley driver's suit to passing competitors on the track. You'll begin with a 45-minute classroom orientation with a professional instructor, then hop in the driver's seat for a 12-lap race on the 1.25-mile super speedway. Get a feel for the vehicle while following the pace car for a couple warmup laps before zooming around the track.

Or, for $64, try the one-hour "Shotgun Ride-Along" package, which includes a four-lap qualifying run with a professional at the wheel. This experience regularly costs $129.
