Many thanks for a wonderful experience at RIR. The pre-race training was a perfect length and depth. It prepared me very well to understand and be ready for my live time on the track. As a friend of NASCAR team owner Junie Donlavey (Dick Trickle with Heilig Meyers sponsorship was probably his last really popular driver), I have loaded/unloaded his show cars in recent years, but I’ve never had the opportunity to drive a car at RIR.

Thanks again for your FAST CARS, attention to safety, friendliness of the staff and overall EXCELLENT experience!

Mark and Team, On behalf of Iain Barber and myself (CaseyTyer), we want to thank you for a great Friday (Aug 4th) in Richmond. We look forward to coming back in September to complete our session. I plan to bring my son and wife for a ride along. This was a wonderful experience. Its refreshing to see people enjoying their work, you and your team are professional, courteous, and friendly. Impressive!!! See ya soon.

Thank You ALL,
Casey Tyer

Mark, We had a great time yesterday afternoon at NHIS. The weather was perfect while we were there (12noon -2pm). I think next time I'll do the ride along, just to get more of a feel for how much speed the cars can carry through the corners - that's where both my brother and I were perhaps a bit timid - especially after someone bounced your #9 car off the wall right in front of the "orientation booth".

We all had a good laugh about the "Omar the tent maker" suit I wore, but I'm glad you had it...I guess I'm built more like a Jimmy Spencer than these young drivers today...no back flips off the roof from me! It was really a blast to drive those cars...please pass along our thanks to all involved there at DriveTech!

Thanks again, Bill & Ken Abbott



Hey Mark,

I had a real nice time in New Smyrna. Al, John, Scotty and the others made the day real nice.

Thanks for the help I will be bringing my crew up real soon

Mark!!!!!!

I just wanna say what an AMAZING time I had at Richmond. I have a whole new respect, and outlook for the drivers now. What an eye-opening experience!! Looking Forward to next year!!

Thanks a million,

Mark,

Just a qucik note to say thank you so much for the awesome weekend we had. Clark and even Mike The Weasel lol are still talking about it. Clark has a grin from ear to ear every time someone asks him how it was. He said that was the best birthday gift he has ever gotten and I owe that to you. Clark showed the guys at work pictures, so now they all want to do this so dont be surprised if u get a few emails or calls from Pittsburgh. I told them they should plan one together and all go so we will see what happens. I know clark is talking about doing it again so Im sure we'll see you again sometime. Thank You again so much.

Hi,

I drove one of your cars at Richmond this past weekend and thought it was an excellent experience!

Overall, it was really fun! Haven driven twice before with 2 other companies, your company was far superior. None of them provide instruction, none had insurance policies, and both had pace cars to keep speeds well below an exciting level.

I will definitely drive again with your company and would appreciate it if you could email me notices for Richmond dates next year.

Thanks,
Rob Bailey

Hi Mark,
I just wanted to thank you again for giving me an experience of a life time. I had a great time this past weekend at Bristol. That was one of the coolest things I ever done. Send a thank you to your staff, everyone was cool and helpful which made it a great day. I cant stop thinkin about it and I cant wait to do it again. I hope to make it an annual event. I've been tellin all my friends on base about it and about your organization. It will give me somethin to think about when I'm in the desert. So Thanks again and Take care. Hope to do business with you again.

"I've attended many other driving experiences before, frankly I was getting bored by the pace cars, the slow paces, etc ... You guy's rock! ... You really let me race... I have never been so pumped in my life ... Thank you, thank you."

Hi,
I just wanted to send you a message on how much fun and what at great experience I had at the Kansas Speedway this past Saturday. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and exceeded my expectations on all aspects of the experience. It is hard to put into words how much fun driving a race car was. I most enjoyed the ability of being allowed to pass the slower cars. I would have been bored if I was stuck behind a slow car for the duration of the session. The “reality” truly came into play when my right rear tire cut down when I was entering turn one. I had just let off the throttle when the tire went down, some how I managed to save the car without spinning out or hitting the wall. I now have some idea what the professional drivers go through to control the car with a tire goes. I limped back to the pits, the tire was changed and back to the track I went. This whole experience is something I’ll never forget. Hopefully I come back to do it again. Thanks for a great experience!!!

We can't thank you enough for the energy that you've given to our company ... This is becoming an annual event and winning the racing trip is a huge motivator for our sales force.

Mark,
Thanks for another excellent driving experience! The radio equipment was working well this time, which made it a safer and more enjoyable drive. I am interested in your racing school at Old Dominion Speedway. I will not be able to make the upcoming one in June, but let me know when the next one after that will be and how much both the full and half days will cost. I have already run over a 100 laps on that track with TryIt Racing, and I'm ready to take it to the next level. I hope to acquire the necessary skills to enter some Saturday night races there.

Thanks,
Rob Bailey

To all of you at DriveTech:
After two rain outs at Loudon starting way back last October I finally got behind the wheel at the Thompson, CT track this past Saturday. What a great time!!!!! I've told everyone at work and even showed some video today at lunch. I think I've found a few "recruits" that are interested in trying their hands at it. That would be all the excuse I need to get back into the driver's seat. I hope to do it again sometime soon. I think it may be habit forming and I've already told my wife she could make it a yearly Birthday or Christmas present (or both). I especially enjoyed the one-on-one racing against Mark in the Pro-Stock cars. Tell him I want a rematch and this time I get choice of cars. Can any of your employees give me the hot tips on how to beat him, especially in the turns. I've always thought I wanted a race car and now I'm sure I want one. Any tips on how to get started if I turned this "want" into "I need a race car"? Pass along my thanks to all your employees for their friendly attitude and helpfulness. Can I become part of your crew someday when I retire? Ever thought of opening a "branch office" in Maine and maybe racing at one of the tracks up here?

Thanks again,
Tom Hennessey

Hi Mark....
My husband loved his experience he had when driving the "race car" last month at New Hampshire Int'l Speedway and wants to someday go back again. Now he knows what to expect and won't be as nervous. To watch the cars go by as a spectator in the pits, it didn't seem as if the cars were going that fast. Now he knows how the NASCAR drivers feel. Also, thank you for allowing us to take a picture of our car in victory lane. We were glad to see the weather had held out, it would have been a long wait till July.

Thanks,
Sil & Diane

Thank you Mark for the quick response and I will let Scott know that he can do that later in the year..... He will be thrilled!!!!.........We had an absolute blast that day!!! You made his father's day!!!!! You have a great business!!!!

Thanks again!!!
