Exotic for a day

Have any of you guys ever done something like this, or even this specific one?

https://www.google.com/offers/home?x...S81VOSTV4OUCOO

I'm thinking about doing it, but not sure if it's going to diluted so much that it's not even worth it.

Anyone know anything about it?

Yea, but it's only 3 laps. Probably take less than 10 minutes.

I'm planning on doing it. I just don't want to get there and have them tell me we have to keep it under 55 or find out the track is some little piece of crap they put together.

I just made the purchase.

I called...you are not limited at all, as long as you remain safe, i.e.- no drifting. You can pick between a Gallardo and a F430. The track is 1 mile long autocross being built at meadowlands stadium.

I'm heavily leaning towards the F430, but I'm not sure yet.

Any input from the group?

I saw this deal a few weeks ago at a track in NJ, closer to Philly.

It had only 1 freaking redemption day! I imagine it'd be packed like shit with the people who all bought the deal.

You've got a wide window of redemption. Should be fun!

Didn't really do an exotic but I did try this out this summer.

Was fun. Did both the drive and ride along. All I can say is those laps go by real fast! Just when you get the hang of it. It's time to get out

I'm cheap. I'd rather put the $100 towards buying a Ferrari.

That'd be an awesome experience though. Get your money's worth and lay into the gas pedal off the start gate.

Don't worry, I'll be waking up every horse in that engine.


I'd like to ask them if I can bring my 335i onto the track for a few laps after the Ferrari
