    Had a chance to get out to Las Vegas Motor Speedway and visit the Dream Racing Ferrari F430 GT experience per a bachelor party outing. While I have a lot of time behind a 458, I have never driven a track car. It was night and day and worth every penny! (Much cheaper than giving it to the Black Jack Dealer @ Caesars...)

    I have a video of the whole experience shared below, definitely not a pro so don't waste your time if you would be bothered by watching an amateur learn how to drive a track car for the first time.

    Go easy on me!

    Video 1: Me driving - 7 Mins~ Start about 1 minute in.

    Video 2: Nic Sacco - Hot Lap - Awesome Instructor, really passionate.

    Starting to think I just need a track car instead of that 430 I was looking at!

    It was $500 for 6 laps (thats 1 more lap than advertised)

    Worth every penny. They put you through an iracing simulator before hand to teach you the racing line. They have refreshments and snacks at the end also. Really neat experience and I've done a few.

    Wish they didnt charge you to record the experience, but as you can see i ante'd up for that.

    It looks like you got the hang of it and passed the driver in front of you! What fun! I would love to do it myself to the tune of at least $2 grand!
