Has anyone ever done one of the track rentals (like SpeedVegas) in Las Vegas? If so, was it worth it?

It seems cool in theory, but the price seems high for the number of laps that you get.

I do a lot of track days and have looked into those.

Generally they're designed to (i) protect the cars; and (ii) offer drivers a photo opp. You can do SOME high performance driving but not like what you would at a real track day.

It depends what you want. It's not something I'd be interested in but a lot of people have fun for the day.

Well that about answers the question.

If that's the case I'll save a few hundred bucks and just do some Go Cart races or something. I have very little interest in a photo op lol

Thanks!

Yes! I’ve done this for my 40th birthday. It’s amazing. And you don’t realize how much of a work out it is until you are sore the next day. Yes it’s expensive, but is a very well done event, you have the instructor there with you. It’s so fun for like an hour then you go about your day. I’m not sure about renting a car and driving it like a maniac on city streets. I know there are places where you can do that. But just seems like I’d be asking for trouble if I did that :)

I did speedvagas several years ago. It was fun but not sure it was worth the price for the number of laps we did. Was cool driving different cars, but if you have ever done track days or racing school you will be disappointed in the number of laps on such a small track.

For questions as to why you are looking to leave your current firm.. I am looking to move because for some reason I am hand-held a lot and given simpler tasks, so I am getting bored and want more challenging / much more fast paced environment. Also kind of bored because I am on one project for a long time and I want exposure to variety of projects. Is this a fair answer or would I be seen as arrogant? Is there a better way to frame my answer?
