Pedal-to-the-Metal Excitement for Motorhome Owners

Family Motor Coach Association has teamed up with NASCAR Racing Experience and Mario Andretti Racing Experience to offer its members reduced rates on fast-paced, adrenaline-rushing laps around the track.

(PRWEB) November 15, 2012

How many times have you watched a NASCAR or IndyCar race and wondered how it feels to go that fast?

Those who think they have a little bit of Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, or Mario Andretti in their blood can find out what it's like to ride in a real race car or, better yet, take the wheel by registering for one of several racing experience programs now available to Family Motor Coach Association members at reduced rates.

As an organization for motorhome enthusiasts, Family Motor Coach Association provides its members a variety of services and discounts designed to enhance the use of their RVs.

The NASCAR Racing Experience and Mario Andretti Racing Experience now available to Family Motor Coach Association members at an association discount should appeal to the racing fans in the group, many of whom enjoy traveling to NASCAR and IndyCar races in their motorhomes.

Both programs offer a Ride Along experience in which professional drivers take participants for the ultimate thrill ride as the car makes three heart-pounding laps at speeds of up to 175 mph!

NASCAR Racing Experience riders strap into a seat next to the driver; Mario Andretti Racing Experience riders slide into their seat behind the driver.

If you'd prefer to be the driver, both NASCAR and Mario Andretti racing experiences offer the Race Fan Favorite program. Participants get to experience what it's like to drive a real NASCAR stock car (previously driven by a professional stock car driver) or a full-size, open-wheel Indy car.

Each three-hour Race Fan Favorite experience begins with a Crew Chief-led instructional session, during which participants learn how to drive these hot rods, undergo safety training, and have an opportunity to ask questions before heading out on the track.

Once drivers are outfitted in safety gear, they strap into the driver's seat and prepare for the most exhilarating 5-minute driving experience of their lives.

While behind the wheel, drivers receive coaching from their personal instructor via two-way radios. During the experience, there is no lead car to follow or instructor sitting beside the participant, and passing is allowed. Just like real racing!

After finishing their run and beginning to breathe normally again, drivers receive a Graduate Certificate that includes their name, date, and the top speed reached during the session, plus a Souvenir Racing License to show others.

NASCAR Racing Experience and Mario Andretti Racing Experience programs are held at the same tracks used in the NASCAR and IndyCar circuits, including Atlanta Motor Speedway; Charlotte Motor Speedway; Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California; Chicagoland Speedway; Homestead-Miami Speedway; Richmond International Raceway; Kentucky Speedway; Texas Motor Speedway; Myrtle Beach Speedway; Phoenix Motor Speedway; and New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

To kick off the program, FMCA is offering special pricing through Nov. 30, 2012. Regular pricing is as follows:

For the Ride Along experience, Family Motor Coach Association members pay $103.99, shaving $26 off the retail price of $129.99. Members who wish to participate in the Race Fan Favorite experience pay $319.99, slicing $80 off the regular price of $399.99.
